US strikes set Iran's nuclear program back 'many years,' Israeli assessment finds
Share this @internewscast.com

An Israeli assessment determined that the U.S. strikes on Iran set the country’s nuclear program back “many years.” 

The Israel Atomic Energy Commission reported that the U.S. has disrupted “critical infrastructure” at the Fordow nuclear facility, making it “non-functional.”

“The powerful U.S. attack on Fordow dismantled the site’s critical infrastructure, leaving the enrichment facility non-functional. We believe that the American operations against Iran’s nuclear sites, in conjunction with Israeli attacks on various facets of Iran’s military nuclear plan, have delayed Iran’s nuclear weapons development significantly,” stated the Israel Atomic Energy Commission. “This success can be maintained indefinitely if Iran is unable to acquire nuclear material.”

Israel hit the site again on Monday as the country carried out strikes on roads leading to the underground facility.

The latest strike on Fordow comes as the Israel Defense Forces said Israel also launched a series of strikes targeting the notorious Evin prison and several Iranian military command centers in an “ongoing effort to degrade the Iranian regime’s military capabilities.”

Iran’s nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, said on Tuesday that the country was assessing the damage and preparing to restore the facilities, according to Reuters. He added that Iran’s “plan is to prevent interruptions in the process of production and services.” 

Both President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to respond if Iran rebuilds its nuclear program.
