Iran's Nuclear Vulnerability Highlighted by Israeli Defense Minister
Israel’s New Defense Minister Warns of Increased Threat to Iranian Nuclear Sites
On Monday, Israel's newly appointed Defense Minister, Israel Katz, stated that Iran's nuclear facilities are now 'more exposed than ever' to potential strikes.
Katz highlighted this vulnerability during a meeting with the IDF General Staff Forum.
He emphasized Israel's determination to thwart what is perceived as an existential threat.
Israel accuses Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, despite Iran's denials.
The tension rose after the U.S., under President Donald Trump, withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement, leading Iran to enrich uranium to near weapon-grade levels.
This year has seen retaliatory strikes between Israel and Iran, with Israel most recently targeting Iranian military sites on October 26.
Both nations remain on high alert amid fears of escalating conflict in the Middle East.
