Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Iran’s Supreme Leader has ordered the completion of a nuclear weapons system development, describing it as a critical step towards building an atomic bomb. According to Netanyahu’s statement to Israel Hayom, this represents a major escalation in Iran’s nuclear programme.
Israeli intelligence reports indicate that Iran possesses approximately 450 kilograms of enriched uranium, a quantity approaching the threshold needed to complete the nuclear weapons programme. This assessment underscores the urgency Israeli officials place on the Iranian nuclear threat.
The statement also references attempted smuggling of centrifuges, suggesting ongoing covert efforts by Iran to advance its nuclear capabilities despite international monitoring and sanctions.
