Israel Strikes Iran's Ballistic Missile And Nuclear Facilities, Killing Senior Military Officials
Israel conducted what it called “preemptive" strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites across the country on June 13, warning that the attacks will continue as it pursues its goal of preventing Tehran from building a nuclear weapon.
You're viewing a single thread.
This comment is uninformed and I appreciate any corrections or education:
I thought Iran already had nukes, so the attack made no sense: Attacks on nuclear weapons facilities are prettly much "launch nukes" in any nuclear doctrine in any nuclear country.
But apparently they have just been working on them, and are allegedly a few weeks off from making their first?
It still seems like a suicidal move. Attacks on production typically slows or delays, but won't delete or reverse anything. Iran hurrying up the programme and going on full nuke alert ready to fire if a bird in the sky twitches wrong seems like a very possible outcome.
Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons. They’ve enriched uranium to something like 65% to prove they could go further if pressed but no bombs that we know of yet.
Israel’s official policy is to not say whether or not they have nuclear weapons but everyone knows they have them and the “mysterious” test was Israel and Apartheid South Africa working together.
Many more states have the knowledge and capability but generally don’t want to violate the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. I would guess most countries with advanced economies could make a bomb in short time if they wanted to.

Iran does not have nukes as far as the world knows. however iran has uranium enrichment facilities which are critical for making nukes. Israel trying to stop iran from making nukes
Iran has facilities that Israel will never be able to bomb. This will only have the effect of accelerating production in those facilities while this devolves into general war, but that was always the case an Israel wants to stick its dick in every bee's nest in the Middle East and drag the US right there along with them
What facilities are you alluding to here?
For instance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordow_Fuel_Enrichment_Plant
As far as i know we don't have any bombs that will penetrate through a mountain.
Interesting, thanks for the link!
