Senior American officials: Israel destroyed in an attack in Iran last month the active facility for nuclear research at the Parchin base.

According to Barak Ravid, owner of the Axios news site, contrary to past claims that the secret facility for nuclear research at the military base in Perchin is not active - it was indeed active at the time of the attack.

According to senior Israeli and American officials, although nuclear activity at the Tale'an 2 facility was stopped in 2003, during the past year an increase in the level of activity was detected as part of nuclear research at the facility, and the facility was actually reactivated secretly, for purposes that could assist in the assembly of a nuclear bomb.

A senior American official said that the Iranians "carried out research activities that could form the basis for the development of nuclear missiles. It was a top secret project. A few in the Iranian government knew about it, but the absolute majority was in the dark."

Barak Ravid claims that Israel chose to damage the nuclear research facility in Parchin in order to, on the one hand, comply with President Biden's request not to attack nuclear facilities (due to American fear that Iran would not be able to keep quiet about such a thing, and enter into a major escalation in the Middle East), and on the other hand, to convey a painful, high quality and high profile message to the regime.

The specific facility in Parchin was chosen because it was not an official part of the Iranian nuclear project, and therefore the Iranians will not be able to claim that Israel attacked a nuclear facility, without acknowledging the reactivation of the facility for nuclear purposes, according to Barak Ravid.

And we have no choice but to ask: What other sites in Iran were destroyed by Israel and it attacks and does not reveal, thus allowing Iran to contain the heavy blow?
