A secret Iranian nuclear weapons research facility was destroyed in Israel’s attack on the Islamic Republic last month, according to US and Israeli sources.

Israel's airstrikes on Iran last month destroyed a top-secret Iranian nuclear research facility at Parchin, according to reports.

The Israeli strike on Iran's Parchin military complex in late October will make it much harder for Iran to develop a nuclear explosive device if it chooses to do so, two Israeli officials told Axios.

Israel expects the incoming Trump administration to take a hard line against Iran and its nuclear ambitions, which will create an opportunity for more peace deals with Arab neighbors, a senior member of Israel's security cabinet said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly thrilled with Donald Trump’s successful re-election and hopes for a quick diplomatic victory in the Middle East. Protests broke out in Tel Aviv after Netanyahu fired his defense minister who called for a cease-fire in Gaza.
