SpaceWar.com reports: “The Israeli military said Tuesday that it struck an underground nuclear site in Iran where it alleged scientists were ‘covertly’ developing a key component for nuclear weapons.

Following the conflict in June, when Israel struck several Iranian nuclear sites, the military said it tracked Iranian scientists to ‘their new location at this site in a manner that enabled a precise strike on the covert underground compound’.

The military also displayed a map showing the facility on the eastern outskirts of Tehran.

‘At the site, a group of nuclear scientists operated covertly to develop a key component for nuclear weapons,’ it said, naming the underground location as ‘Minzadehei’.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Saturday the launch of a joint military offensive with the United States against Iran to remove what he described as the ‘existential threat’ posed by Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes…”
