Secret nuclear site near Tehran destroyed: US reveals classified details
Hidden Iranian facility conducting nuclear-weapon research was hit by Israeli strikes last month. US intel shows the site - known as Taleghan 2 - was doing secret bomb-making research east of Tehran
A top-secret Iranian facility got destroyed by Israeli air-strikes about 3 weeks ago which US officials say was doing nuclear-weapon research. The site - named Taleghan 2 and located twenty miles from Tehran - is now just two piles of debris (as shown in satellite pics)
The ultra-secret complex which most Iranian officials didnt even know about was doing research on nuclear bomb detonation mechanisms. Three other buildings nearby that made missile fuel were also hit: the damage was confirmed by science experts
Iran is not after nuclear weapons‚ period
US intel found that Iranian scientists were doing metal-work explosive tests and computer modeling at the site which was thought to be closed since 03. The Americans tried warning Iran privately but the research didnt stop
The strikes happened during rising middle-east problems after Hamas attacked Israel last year. Iranian-backed groups like Hezbollah started firing from different places; then Iran and Israel hit each-other directly. When Donald Trump takes office in two months heʼll likely push his max-pressure Iran policy again
The US intel report from summer said Iran was getting ready to make nuclear devices - dropping its usual statement that Iran wasnt doing key nuclear weapon work. Though Ali Khamenei said world leaders “wouldnt be able to stop us“ Iran keeps saying it has no weapon program
