Very belatedly, Axios has issued a report which claims Israel's airstrikes on Iran last month destroyed an active nuclear weapons research facility in Parchin. Three US officials and a pair of Israeli officials were cited for the Friday report.
"The strike — which targeted a site previously reported to be inactive — significantly damaged Iran's effort over the past year to resume nuclear weapons research, Israeli and U.S. officials said," the report says. The site has been identified, also in satellite images, as the Parchin Military Complex.

This included the destruction of "sophisticated equipment used to design the plastic explosives that surround uranium in a nuclear device and are needed to detonate it," according to the sources.

Rivero: Note that NONE of the compilers of this "report" are named.
Israel lies about everything. They do lie about Israeli casualties.
