The Israeli Air Force completed a wave of airstrikes on some 20 Iranian nuclear and weapon production sites in Tehran, the military announces.

Some 60 fighter jets were involved in the strikes, which the IDF says hit “weapons production sites, centrifuge production sites, as well as research and development sites of the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons development project.”

The nuclear-related sites “were designated to allow the Iranian regime to expand the scale and pace of its uranium enrichment purpose of developing nuclear weapons,” the military says in a statement.

The other targets included “factories producing raw materials and components for missile assembly, as well as sites for the production of Iran’s air defense systems,” the IDF says.
