Israeli military spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said the air force destroyed a partly underground site in Tehran, which Israel calls Minzadehei, where it says scientists secretly developed knowledge for nuclear weapons. Israel did not say uranium was enriched there, and neither Iran nor the U.S. commented on the site.

Why it matters

The claim underpins Israel's case that Iran was rebuilding weapons work after the June 2025 strikes, which Washington had said destroyed the program; it has not been independently verified.
