IDF hits Iran’s Arak reactor, nuclear weapons development site, dozens of other targets

The Israeli Air Force bombed Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor this morning, along with dozens of other military sites overnight, the IDF announces.

According to the IDF, a wave of overnight strikes involved 40 fighter jets dropping 100 munitions on dozens of Iranian military facilities in Tehran and other areas of Iran.

In addition, this morning, the Arak nuclear site was struck, including the reactor’s containment structure, “a key component in plutonium production,” the military says.

Among the targets struck elsewhere in Iran overnight was a facility in Natanz used by Iran to develop nuclear weapons, the IDF says.

“The site houses unique components and equipment used for the development of nuclear weapons, and hosts projects that enable the acceleration of the nuclear weapons program,” the military says.

Fighter jets also bombed “facilities for manufacturing raw materials, components used in assembling ballistic missiles, and sites for producing Iranian air defense systems and missiles,” along with Iranian air defense sites, missile storage sites, and radars, the IDF adds.
