Iran’s Taleghan 2 facility, linked to the country’s defunct Amad nuclear programme, was reportedly destroyed in the Israeli strike carried out on the Islamic Republic late October. The nuclear programme had recently shown signs of renewed activity. Despite Iranian officials denying any pursuit of nuclear weapons, evidence from Israeli and US intelligence suggested otherwise. Satellite imagery has confirmed the complete destruction of the facility.

The attack followed warnings from the US and Israel about suspicious research activities, which Iran has reportedly ignored. This has raised fresh doubts about Iran’s adherence to its commitments under the nuclear treaty, further complicating its relations with the international community.
