IDF Chief Spokesman Brig, Gen. Effie Deffrin revealed the strike in a March 3 press conference, though doubts had persisted about how critical the site was for Iran's nuclear program.
Despite doubts about recent IDF claims of having destroyed a
secret nuclear site that was critical for the Islamic regime’s plans to develop a nuclear weapon,
The Jerusalem Post has exclusively confirmed with Israeli sources the dangers the site posed.
Last week, IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen.
Effie Defrin revealed in a press conference that the air force had destroyed a secret Iranian nuclear weapons development site.
Designating the site as Min Zadai, on the northeast outskirts of Tehran, Defrin said it was related to weapon development.
He said that IDF intelligence followed nuclear scientists who tried to travel there stealthily. By following these scientists, he said that the military learned how these activities could help Tehran rehabilitate aspects of its weapons development program for a nuclear bomb.

“We located a highly secure site within the area identified by the IDF, located off the highway [Sohanak Road] and within recreation/park land that includes a nearby equestrian club. The site is surrounded by a high wall with guard towers. It contains two clusters of aboveground buildings, as well as long, winding roads with a series of buildings revetted into the hillside,” said the think tank post.
A caption on an IDF video about the attack states, “The complex is designed to enable the restoration of the required technology and the advancement of capabilities for the development of nuclear weapons.”
Commentary:
We know that the Iranian bomb would be following the Pakistani formula, therefore the evidence of this secret site.
It's one thing to have 50% purified U-235, it's another to put the bomb together.
Undoubtedly Iran was attempting to assemble something at this revetted site.
The destruction of this secret site is what winning is all about...
