U.S. intelligence has concluded that the odds of an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear program in the next few months are high, according to major American media, but the jury is out on whether Israel can destroy its archfoe’s nuclear facilities on its own.
Iran is widely believed to be at its *weakest and most vulnerable* <https://www.rferl.org/a/iran-israel-missile-production-air-defenses/33183370.html>in decades, mostly due to Israeli actions in the past year that severely damaged Tehran’s regional network and weakened its air defenses and missile production capabilities. But Israel is unlikely to be able to destroy Iran’s nuclear program without help from the United States. Iran’s two key nuclear sites are the underground fuel enrichment plant in Natanz and the enrichment site in Fordow, which is dug into a mountain. Some have *expressed doubt* <https://apnews.com/article/iran-nuclear-natanz-uranium-enrichment-underground-project-04dae673fc937af04e62b65dd78db2e0>about whether even U.S. weapons can reliably penetrate and completely neutralize those facilities. https://www.juancole.com/2025/02/destroy-nuclear-program.html -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
