Israel says it hit Tehran research site linked to 'nuclear weapons' work


The Israeli military said on Saturday it struck a strategic research and development facility in Tehran which it said was used to develop components for nuclear weapons.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the Israeli Air Force carried out the strike based on precise intelligence, targeting a site associated with Iran’s military industries and ballistic missile program.
The facility, identified as Malek Ashtar University, is affiliated with Iran’s Defense Ministry and has been sanctioned internationally over its alleged role in advancing Tehran’s nuclear and missile capabilities.
