Amid reports from Iran, the IDF confirmed that the Air Force struck "a uranium extraction facility from mines located in Yazd in central Iran." It was further stated that "the facility is one of a kind in Iran, where raw materials mined from the ground undergo mechanical and chemical processing so they can later serve as feedstock for uranium enrichment. This is a crucial process for the nuclear weapons program being advanced by the regime and constitutes the beginning of the value chain required for producing nuclear weapons."
