The IDF denies striking Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility, after Iranian state media said yesterday that there had been “limited damage” to the site following an Israeli attack.

The reason for the competing claims was unclear.

Meanwhile, the military says that its strike on the Isfahan nuclear site destroyed several critical sections, including uranium conversion infrastructure and labs.

The strike was launched after the military says it identified efforts by Iran to enrich weapons-grade uranium at Isfahan.

The activity at Isfahan “leaves no room for doubt, Iran was working to produce weapons of mass destruction,” the military says.
