Netanyahu Says ‘It’s Not a Secret’ That Israel Hit a Key Iranian Nuclear Component

Speaking in the Knesset, the Israeli prime minister did not identify the component and said it would not stop Iran building a nuclear weapon.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said an air attack on Iran last month hit a “specific component” of Tehran’s nuclear program.

In a speech in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, on Tuesday, Netanyahu said: “It’s not a secret. There is a specific component in their nuclear program that was hit in this attack.”
