Friday evening, Israeli defense forces (FDI) struck the nuclear site of Isfahan in Iran, a place where uranium goes beyond nuclear bomb.
“The strike dismantled an installation to produce metallic uranium, infrastructure to convert enriched uranium, laboratories and additional infrastructure,” the FDI said on Friday.
Friday evening, video sequences published by the Iranian media showed that the Iranian air defenses were trying to intercept a new wave of Israeli attacks on the site, adding it to a list of targeted nuclear sites which include the key installation of Natanz.

The IAEA confirmed that a nuclear installation in Isfahan had been struck by Israel, But its operational status remains unknown.
“The Isfahan uranium conversion installation is at the heart of Iran’s quest for master’s degree in domestic fuel cycle,” Fox News Digital Beham Ben Taleblu told Fox News Director for the Defense of Defense of Democracy’s Iran, in Fox News Digital.
In Isfahan, uranium is converted into a state adapted to gas enrichment.
“Paralyzing this ability to Isfahan would disconnect the points between Various from Iran The nuclear industry and potentially handicap future efforts to prepare uranium for enrichment. “”

The direct bombing of an installation that stores nuclear fuel represents a major blow for the Iranian nuclear program – but also risks radioactive spills. Israel has avoided hitting Iran’s supply of nuclear fuel from nearly Grade to Isfahan, the New York Times reported.
“All of these developments are deeply worrying,” said the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA), Rafael Grossi, in a statement on attacks. “I have said on several occasions that nuclear installations should never be attacked, whatever the context or circumstances, as it could harm people and the environment.”
Israel has now targeted more than 200 sites in Iran in its decision to eliminate Iran’s nuclear capacity.

The Iranian media reported on Saturday that Israel had struck near the northwest refinery of Tabriz, signaling three missile strikes in places near western Iran.
The Israeli army said that initial strikes had withdrawn nine nuclear scientists, in addition to the superior generals of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) and dozens of others.
Iran’s counterattacks killed three Israelis.
Experts have long warned that Iran is far from enriching it from uranium at a level of weapons at 90%, and Israeli intelligence sources suggest that Iran had passed beyond enrichment in the early production phase of a nuclear weapon.

The IAEA warned against the “rapid accumulation of highly enriched uranium” of Iran and said that the diet had been opaque to provide details on its use.
