Israel Strikes Iran's Arak Nuclear Reactor | JQJO

Israel launched airstrikes on Iran's Arak heavy water reactor, a facility capable of producing plutonium for nuclear weapons. While the reactor was offline and contained no uranium fuel, the IAEA had previously warned against targeting such sites. The strike, acknowledged by Iran, reportedly aimed to prevent the reactor's future use in weapons development. Iran's nuclear program, including uranium enrichment, remains a significant international concern, despite the 2015 nuclear deal which involved modifications to the Arak facility.
