Israel Says it Destroyed Secret Iranian Nuclear Site Near Tehran

The Israeli Defense Forces destroyed a covert nuclear weapons site after tracking scientists post-2025 conflict, striking over 300 missile launchers since the war began, the military said.

  • On March 3, 2026, the Israel Defense Forces said it destroyed Min Zadai, a secret nuclear site near Tehran, targeting an underground compound, Effie Defrin stated.
  • Military Intelligence traced the activity by tracking nuclear scientists traveling clandestinely, enabling a precise strike after last year's bombing campaign and Iran's move to underground bunkers, the IDF said.
  • The IDF reported that since the operation's start, the IDF Air Force pilots carried out about 1,600 strike sorties, dropped roughly 4,000 munitions, and launched over 300 consecutive strike waves in the past 24 hours.
  • The IDF said the operation removes a core component of Iran's nuclear weapons capability after finding nuclear scientists developing a central system, part of multi-front operations including Hezbollah and Lebanon.
  • Israeli officials argue that Iran's efforts accelerated after last year's conflict, while Netanyahu said Saturday the joint U.S.-Israeli offensive targets an 'existential threat' amid disputed assessments.
