Overview
- The IDF identified the partially underground compound as “Minzadehei,” located on the outskirts of Tehran.
- Israel says a team of nuclear scientists there worked in secret on a key component linked to nuclear weapons.
- Israeli intelligence says it tracked the scientists after earlier strikes and pinpointed their relocation, enabling a precise attack.
- The military claims the strike removed a critical element of Iran’s weapons-development capability and did not allege uranium enrichment at the location.
- There was no immediate public comment from Iran or the United States on the named site, and Israel separately says its air force has destroyed about 300 Iranian missile launchers since the war began.
