IDF Chief Reveals Israeli Commandos Operated Deep Inside Iran; Experts Say Nuclear Program ‘Systematically Destroyed’

Joshua Klein

Israel’s top military official disclosed that elite Israeli commandos operated covertly inside Iran during Operation Rising Lion, as part of what intelligence and nuclear experts now assess was a campaign that inflicted systemic, not just tactical, destruction on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

IDF Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, said in a televised address Wednesday, “After 12 days of unprecedented fighting, I can say that the IDF operated at its best and fully achieved the aims and objectives of the operation.” He emphasized that the mission had one clear goal from the start: “to remove the existential threat to the State of Israel.”

Regarding Iran’s nuclear program, the IDF chief cited assessments from top military intelligence and nuclear experts, declaring: “The damage to the nuclear program is not a localized blow, but a systemic one.” According to Zamir, Israeli forces “hit the main facilities, factories and satellite industries, and knowledge centers.” He said the accumulated results “pushed [Iran’s nuclear capabilities] back by years,” and added firmly, “We will not allow Iran to produce weapons of mass destruction.”

His assessment does not include the coup de gras delivered by the US military. Meanwhile at CNN:

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm.

CNN has beclowned itself once again, and the DIA is working with the FBI and other authorities to investigate the source of the unauthorized disclosure of classified information.
