00:25Israel says it has carried out
00:27a fresh strike on a site in Iran linked to the country's nuclear program.
00:33According to the Israel Defense Forces, the Israeli Air Force recently targeted the Talagan
00:39compound, a facility located inside Iran's Parchin military complex, southeast of Tehran.
00:48The IDF claims the site was being used to advance critical capabilities related to nuclear
00:54weapons development.
00:55Israeli officials say the facility was involved in research tied to the alleged Ahmad Project,
01:03a covert nuclear weapons program that Israel and some Western analysts believe Iran pursued
01:09in the early 2000s.
01:11However, Iran has consistently denied developing nuclear weapons, maintaining that its nuclear
01:18program is strictly for peaceful purposes.
01:21This is not the first time the site has been targeted.
01:25Israel previously struck the same Talagan facility in October 2024, reportedly destroying buildings
01:32and equipment believed to be used for high explosive testing linked to nuclear detonation research.
01:39Satellite analysis from the Institute for Science and International Security later suggested Iran
01:46had begun rebuilding and reinforcing parts of the site, including burying structures under soil
01:53and concrete for protection.
01:55According to Israeli officials, the latest strike was aimed at preventing Iran from restoring those capabilities.
02:02The operation comes amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran as the regional conflict continues
02:10to widen following waves of military strikes since late February and early March 2026.
02:17Several international outlets including Reuters and the Times of Israel reported the IDF's announcement.
02:25However, there has been no independent confirmation yet of the extent of the damage,
02:30and Iranian authorities have not immediately issued a detailed response to the strike.
02:36Israel has long maintained a policy of preemptive action against what it sees as Iranian nuclear threats.
02:44With tensions already high across the Middle East, analysts warn that any strike on nuclear-linked facilities
02:51could further escalate the conflict between the two regional rivals.
03:17It is a pleasure to surprise you.
