Israeli airstrikes in late October have successfully destroyed a secret Iranian nuclear research facility at the Parchin military complex, significantly disrupting Tehran's nuclear weapons development efforts. The facility, identified as Taleghan 2, had been previously reported as inactive, but recent intelligence reveals it was heavily involved in advanced nuclear weapons research, including the design of plastic explosives, a critical component in nuclear weapon production.
According to a report published today by Asianet Newsable, the airstrike, which took place on October 25, targeted the high-tech facility and dismantled sophisticated equipment that was integral to Iran's efforts to develop nuclear explosives. The attack has been confirmed by both U.S. and Israeli intelligence officials, who reported that the facility's destruction represents a major setback for Tehran's nuclear ambitions. High-resolution satellite imagery from the aftermath of the attack confirmed that the site was completely obliterated, leaving behind only rubble.
Taleghan 2, located at Iran's well-known Parchin complex, was long suspected of involvement in nuclear-related activities, particularly in metallurgical and explosives research. This facility had remained under the radar for years, officially labeled inactive, until recent intelligence uncovered a resurgence of activity. U.S. and Israeli officials expressed grave concern about the research being conducted there, which was seen as crucial for Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons capabilities.
