Israel Found Iran Carried Out Key Tests for Nuclear Weapon Design
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - Israel discovered that Iranian scientists had conducted successful experiments in the design process of a nuclear weapon, bringing it weeks away from being able to produce a bomb, Army Radio reported Sunday. Shortly after Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, onslaught, Iran ordered scientists to work in secret on components of the process of weaponizing nuclear material into an actual explosive device. The IDF was able to monitor the secret weapons process, which left Jerusalem with no doubt that Iran had decided to build a nuclear weapon. A senior Israeli military official said Saturday that "all the scientists eliminated in the opening strikes had, over the years, been involved in developing the nuclear detonation device."
