Arak nuclear facility hit to block weapons-grade plutonium production, Israel says
Israel struck dozens of military sites in Iran overnight, including the Arak nuclear facility, aiming to prevent its use in nuclear weapons development, the Israeli military said Thursday.
The facility, though currently inactive, was designed to produce weapons-grade plutonium, the army said.
“The strike targeted the component intended for plutonium production, in order to prevent the reactor from being restored and used for nuclear weapons development,” the military added.
