According to Israel's defence Force (IDF) on Tuesday, Israel attacked respective military targets in Iran, including a centrifuge manufacturing facility and respective weapons manufacturing facilities in Tehran.
The operation, involving over 50 fighters, was aimed at Iran's atomic and rocket weapons programs, reported Israel's defence Forces in a statement.Israeli air force attacked a centrifuge production facility close Tehran, which according to the Israeli defence Force was designed to "allowing the Iranian government to increase the scale and velocity of uranium enrichment to make atomic weapons".IDF described him as ‘key centrifuge production plant’.In addition to the IDF centrifuge plant, it reported that its aircraft hit rocket components factories.The global Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that Israeli air strikes were targeted at 2 centrifuge production facilities related to the Iranian atomic programme.In a message published on X, the agency listed the seats as the Tehran investigation Centre and TESA workshop in Karaj, a city west of the capital.Israeli defence Forces claimed Iran enriches uranium at the level ‘not required for civilian use’ And they said the attack was "part of a broad effort to counter Iran's atomic improvement project".Iran is presently enriching uranium to 60% purity, well above the 3.67% limit set under the 2015 non-existent atomic agreement, which was annulled after president Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from it during his first word of office.Despite Israeli claims, the CEO of the IAEA Rafael Grossi said in an interview with CNN that the agency "there is no evidence of systematic efforts" Iran to advance atomic weapons production.Despite ongoing talks between the US and Iran, Israel launched attacks on Iran's military and atomic facilities at the end of last week, killing many high-ranking commanders and scientists.Iran responded with rocket attacks on Israel.Moscow, which had previously proposed mediation between the 2 parties, condemned Israel's attack and warned that further escalation could destabilise the full region.
The Russian Ministry of abroad Affairs besides called on Israel to "remembering and immediately stopping atomic raids".
