The Israeli strike destroyed an active top secret nuclear weapons research facility in Parchin , according to three U.S. officials, one current Israeli official and one former Israeli official.

The strike destroyed sophisticated equipment used to design the plastic explosives that surround uranium in a nuclear device and are needed to detonate it.

Iran has denied it is pursuing nuclear weapons, saying it is not after nuclear weapons.
