Israeli Precision Strike Hits Secret Nuclear Complex Near Tehran
The Israeli army announced yesterday, Tuesday, that it carried out a precision strike targeting a secret underground Iranian nuclear complex near the capital Tehran, in a move described as eliminating a vital element in the Iranian regime's ability to develop nuclear weapons.
The army's statement indicated that military intelligence detected activities of Iranian scientists and pinpointed the location of their new base, allowing for a highly accurate strike.
According to the statement, the targeted complex is located on the eastern edge of the Iranian capital and is codenamed "Minzadeh," where scientists have been working since Israel launched attacks on several nuclear sites during its war on Iran in June 2025.
* Expanding Operations Inside Tehran
The Israeli army confirmed the expansion of its operations within the Iranian capital, announcing the start of a wave of large-scale strikes targeting what it described as military infrastructure, alongside urgent warnings for residents to evacuate specific areas.
The statement confirmed that strikes are ongoing against Iranian strategic facilities.
* Iran's Missile Response
In a swift reaction, Iran launched a series of missiles at Israel, while Iranian media reported that the Bushehr airport in the south of the country sustained damage as a result of the strikes, with no official details on the extent of the losses released so far.
This event comes amid a continuous escalation between the two sides, with close international monitoring of the Israeli strikes and their implications for the Iranian nuclear program and regional security.
