Israel Says Iran Was Racing Toward a Nuclear Weapon. US Intel Says It Was Years Away
- On June 13, Israel launched a major airstrike using MPR-500 bombs targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure across multiple cities, including Tehran and Natanz.
- The strikes followed Israel's warnings about a secret Iranian plan to weaponize uranium and targeted over 30 senior IRGC and nuclear program officials over four days.
- The operation damaged key facilities such as Farabi Hospital's intensive care unit, a military communication center, and prompted an evacuation order for Tehran's District 3 with over a million residents.
- The 227-kilogram MPR-500 bomb penetrates over one meter of concrete and disperses approximately 26,000 fragments, signaling Israel's precise, bunker-busting capabilities.
- Despite setbacks at Natanz, Iran's deeply buried Fordow site remains intact, suggesting further escalation or US military support may be needed to fully dismantle Iran's nuclear program.
