No time? blue News summarizes for you
- The targets that Israel is firing at in Iran can be divided into three categories:
- Military installations
- Nuclear facilities
- Senior army officers and leading scientists
With the first attacks, the Israeli armed forces eliminated Iran's defense and response capabilities, namely missiles and air defense positions aimed at Israel.
Air strikes on military installations, the residences of senior Iranian military officers and important scientists, as well as on nuclear facilities, sometimes followed at the same time.
Nuclear facilities
- Natans: Considered Iran's most important nuclear facility. Scientists have been enriching uranium here for years, in recent months to almost weapons-grade levels. Israel claims to have destroyed it.
- Arak: A heavy water reactor is located here. Officially to produce radio-nucleides for medical purposes. However, it has long been suspected that this facility is also being used for the Iranian nuclear program.
- Partschin: Officially a test site for conventional weapons. Already a military target, Israel has probably attacked it because it also suspects nuclear weapons development activities here.
- Ghom: A uranium enrichment plant also operates here. It is not clear whether the attacks on the city were aimed at this facility.
