IDF says it recently struck site where Iran advanced ‘critical capabilities’ in nuclear weapons

The IDF says it recently struck an Iranian nuclear facility where the regime worked on “critical capabilities in the development of nuclear weapons.”

The site near Tehran, identified by the military as the Taleghan compound, was hit during waves of strikes the air force carried out in the area over the past few days.

The IDF says that in recent years, Iran used the site for “the development of advanced explosives and for conducting sensitive experiments as part of AMAD Project,” Iran’s alleged secret nuclear weapons development program.

The Taleghan compound had been struck by Israel in October 2024, during a retaliation for an Iranian missile attack on Israel earlier that month.

The military says that it recently detected that Iran had “taken steps to rehabilitate the compound” following those strikes.

“The Iranian regime has continued efforts to advance and develop capabilities required for the development of a nuclear weapon,” the IDF says, adding that the recent strike is part of a “series of operations” aimed at “further damaging the Iranian terror regime’s nuclear aspirations.”
