Summary
Israel destroyed an active nuclear weapons research facility in Iran, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.
The strike significantly damaged Iran’s efforts to resume nuclear weapons research and sent a message about Israel’s insight into Iran’s top-secret activities.
The International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to vote on a censure resolution against Iran for its lack of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.

Correct me if I’m wrong…
But aren’t Israel’s nukes “open secrets” because they’re not legally allowed to have nuclear weapons either?
Everyone knows they have them, we just pretend they don’t
If Israel didn’t have nukes, every Jew in the middle east would have been murdered by now
That kind of rethoric is so crooked
Not my words, it’s the words of many Arab leaders. You all act like nobody in the middle east hated Israel or Jews before 2024. I get you guys have an agenda but come on now
Source?
Israel don’t need nukes. They have one of the most advanced and well funded militaries in the entire world.
Leaders say a lot of things. Even without nukes, Israel has enough conventional military might to have a significant detergent effect (and to defend against attacks that actually do happen).
Further, the politics in the middle east has not been Arabs vs Israel for decades. Israel is a well positioned member of the anti Iran coalition.
I’m pretty sure every Jew in the middle east wasn’t murdered in the years between 1948, when Israel was founded and 1966, when it is believed they developed their first nuclear weapon. Despite multiple wars between Israel and other countries in the region.
The u.s and every Western nation with nukes was standing right behind them. It was as if they had them already
And they still are, so that isn’t any different either.
Nah, if they didn’t have nukes and US backing (which is likely how they have nukes)…
Then they wouldn’t act like they’re untouchable and wouldn’t commit so many genocides against neighboring countries…
Like, what you’re doing is saying the schoolyard bully has to be a bully because no one likes them. Ignoring the fact that the reason no one likes them is they keep beating up smaller kids.
They can stop being a bully anytime and the situation would improve. Getting mad at the bullied kids because they don’t like the bully makes no logical sense.
Like, you expect people to just ignore when a different country attacks yours and kills your children?
That’s just water under the bridge and they should get over it?
It’s their fault for responding to violence with violence instead of meekly allowing themselves to be exterminated?
Do you even read what you type?
Or do you legitimately just not understand what’s happening?
so many genocides
You just said it, they wouldn’t be untouchable. Are you all high? They’re surrounded by nations who are calling for their extermination
They’re surrounded by nations who are calling for their extermination
They’re surrounded by countries they constantly attack and stir shit with…
And by “stir shit” I mean commit war crimes, human rights abuses, and outright genocide.
Yet you’re surprised the neighbors don’t like them?
LOL “commit so many genocides”
That just shows how meaningless the word is now. I’ll bet you didn’t know that anti-Zionists were accusing Israel of genocide during the 2014 war with Hamas - a war that lasted 6 weeks and had a death toll of a whopping 2300.
Your perspective on the conflict is totally warped. Israel is not the bully. We’re talking about a tiny country of 9 million people that you can drive across in 3 hours at its widest point. It is surrounded by Arab nations that have tried to destroy it several times, and for the past 30 years has been bullied by the proxies of the genocidal Iranian regime. Iran is the real bully in the Middle East.
The word genocide has not lost its meaning, you just obviously never understood it.
It is not about numbers of dead. The world considers the Bosnians to be victims of a genocide, but “only” 8000 people died in Srebrenica.
I’m well aware of the definition of genocide. My point was that the threshold for accusing Israel of genocide is very, very low.
Have you considered that maybe the Zionists just kill a lot of people, and maybe if they stopped killing so many people, maybe they would be accused less of genocide?
Have you considered that if Arabs hadn’t been engaged in a futile attempt to murder Jews and destroy Israel, the past 75 years of violence would have been avoided?
I committed genocide against a mosquito that was in my room last night.
It’s a genocide
Genocide
- De-Gaza: A Year of Israel’s Genocide and the Collapse of World Order - Euro-Med Monitor Report see Chapter 2 and 3
On 26 January 2024, the ICJ said that it was plausible that Israel had breached the Genocide Convention. As an emergency measure, it ordered Israel ensure that its army refrained from genocidal acts against Palestinians.
The ICJ reported, as part of its decisions in March and May, that the situation in Gaza had deteriorated and that Israel had failed to abide by its order in January.
So, when we look at the actions taken, the dropping of thousands and thousands of bombs in a couple of days, including phosphorus bombs, as we heard, on one of the most densely populated areas around the world, together with these proclamations of intent, this indeed constitutes genocidal killing, which is the first act, according to the convention, of genocide. And Israel, I must say, is also perpetrating act number two and three — that is, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and creating condition designed to bring about the destruction of the group by cutting off water, food, supply of energy, bombing hospitals, ordering the fast evictions of hospitals, which the World Health Organization has declared to be, quote, “a death sentence.” So, we’re seeing the combination of genocidal acts with special intent. This is indeed a textbook case of genocide.
More than 800 scholars of international law and genocide have signed a public statement arguing that the Israeli military may be committing genocidal acts against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as the total siege and relentless airstrikes continue to inflict devastation on the occupied territory.
An independent United Nations expert warned Monday that “Israel’s genocidal violence risks leaking out of Gaza and into the occupied Palestinian territory as a whole” as Western governments, corporations, and other institutions keep up their support for the Israeli military, which stands accused of grave war crimes in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
Our documentation encompasses over 500 incitements of violence and genocidal incitement, appearing in the forms of social media posts, television interviews, and official statements from Israeli politicians, army personnel, journalists, and other influential personalities.
Deliberate Attacks on Civilians
Israel deliberately targets civilian areas. From in general with the Dahiya Doctrine to multiple systems deployed in Gaza to do so:
-
The Dahiya Doctrine & Israel’s Use of Disproportionate Force
-
‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza
Israel also targets Israeli Soldiers and Civilians to prevent them being leveraged as hostages, known as the Hannibal Directive. Which was also used on Oct 7th.
LOL, do you think posting links from obscure left-wing websites is going to convince me?
The word has lost its meaning now for a lot of people.
Decades of genocides can make genocide feel normal
Your comment is a perfect example.
Meanwhile the criminal zionist regime threatens the entire planet with nuclear weapons.
Hello, delusion!
Ok, I’ll bite. Wanna elaborate?
Yeah, no
Yeah, no, what? Gotta finish your thought there Jonny
Yeah, no.
I think that both Russia and the U.S. have proven that everyone needs nukes.
In reality it was a hospital
Really strange that they’re revealing this 3 weeks after it happened
