Israel says it attacked several military sites in Iran
More than 50 Israeli air force planes have carried out an attack in Iran, targeting alleged “centrifuge” and “weapons productions sites” in the country, the Israeli military said.
In a statement posted on Telegram, the military said the latest attack was carried out “under precise intelligence guidance” from the country’s intelligence.
The military claimed the attack was “part of the extensive effort to damage Iran’s nuclear weapons development programme”.
Iran, however, has denied that it is developing nuclear weapons, and the UN watchdog IAEA as well as US intelligence community have made similar assessments in their most recent reports.
The Israeli statement said that it also attacked manufacturing plants involved in the production “of raw materials and components” for assembling surface-to-surface missiles being used against Israel.
