Israel attacked several Iranian targets late on Wednesday night. This includes Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, missile production site and air defense system. Israel also destroyed Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor. The Israel Defense Force said that 40 fighter aircraft were deployed for this operation. Israel dropped more than 100 bombs and destroyed the Arak heavy water reactor and a nuclear weapons development facility near Natanz.
The construction of the Arak reactor first began in 1997. But it was only partially completed. When the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was agreed upon in 2015, Iran said it would not use it to produce plutonium The Arak reactor is not operational, but Israel has now eliminated the possibility of it.
There was no nuclear material in this reactor located 280 kilometers away from Iran’s capital Tehran, so there is no possibility of radiological effect from it. The International Atomic Energy Agency has also confirmed the attack on Iran’s sites.
