Israel: Most of Iran's Nuclear Program Has Been Destroyed or Severely Damaged

(Jerusalem Post) Amichai Stein - "Four days ago, there was a phone call between Netanyahu and the U.S. president, during which Trump said, 'I've decided to launch a strike,'" an Israeli official told the Jerusalem Post. Since Israel began attacking nuclear sites and other targets inside Iran about a week and a half ago, Netanyahu and the U.S. president have spoken almost daily. "Without Israel's achievements and the results of its operation, the American president would never have even considered joining the strike," sources said. Initially, Trump only planned to bomb the enrichment facility in Fordow. However, an Israeli official said Prime Minister Netanyahu and Strategic Affairs Minister Dermer convinced him to also target the Isfahan facility and the enrichment site in Natanz - both of which Israel had already attacked in the past week - "in order to finish the job." "The Americans struck locations within these sites that Israel had trouble reaching," said the Israeli source. "The U.S. hit a zone in Isfahan hidden in the mountainside, where the Iranians had stored enriched uranium and other nuclear-related infrastructure....There was full cooperation between Israel and the U.S. regarding the American strike....Israel provided intelligence and contributed to its success." According to Israeli officials, most of Iran's nuclear program has either been destroyed or severely damaged. However, "some secondary sites remain," which continue to be considered targets.
