What You Need to Know: Israeli airstrikes in late October reportedly destroyed Talegahn 2, a covert Iranian nuclear research facility near Tehran, according to U.S. and Israeli sources. The strikes were initially thought to target air defense systems but may have dealt a significant blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

-Iran denies maintaining an active nuclear weapons program, asserting its activities are peaceful, though its uranium enrichment has approached weapons-grade levels since the U.S. withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Agreement in 2018.

-Tensions remain high between Israel and Iran, exacerbated by Iran's support for Hamas and recent missile exchanges, with the U.S. pledging support for Israel's self-defense.

The Israeli military strikes against Iran in October might have destroyed a covert nuclear weapons facility.

On October 25, Iran launched air strikes against Iran in response to Tehran’s missile attacks on Israeli territory. Initially, it was believed that the Israeli strikes were limited to some air defense systems and radars. However, reports now suggest that Tel Aviv went a step further and took out a covert Iranian nuclear research facility.
