Israeli Air Force Strikes Dozens of Targets in Iran
(Ynet News) The IDF announced Friday that Israel's air force had attacked dozens of targets in Iran Thursday night. Several industrial sites for missile production were attacked in the Tehran area, as well as the Spand headquarters for research and development of nuclear weapons. Earlier Thursday, Israel attacked the Arak heavy-water nuclear reactor, which would be capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium. The Arak reactor was supposed to have been disabled under the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran claimed to have filled the reactor core with concrete. However, in 2019, Ali Akbar Salehi, then head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, told Iranian television that the country had secretly acquired duplicate core piping, allowing it to reassemble the reactor quickly.
