Amid the ongoing Israeli strikes against Iranian nuclear sites, military leaders and installations, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealed the regime’s covert nuclear weaponization program, as well as concrete plans to destroy the Jewish State in a simultaneous air and ground attack from multiple fronts.

The IDF explained that intelligence accumulated in recent months indicated that the regime’s nuclear program had approached a point of no return, confirming an earlier statement made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“In recent months, Iran has taken steps it has never taken before – steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year; it could be within a few months—less than a year. This is a clear and present danger to Israel’s very survival,” Netanyahu said.

According to the IDF, “The convergence of the Iranian regime’s efforts to produce thousands of kilograms of enriched uranium, alongside decentralized and fortified enrichment compounds in underground facilities, enables the Iranian regime to enrich uranium to military-grade levels, enabling the regime to obtain a nuclear weapon within a short period of time.”

Israel also identified concrete progress on the project to produce components for a nuclear bomb, which had accelerated significantly since the start of the war.

“The IDF is revealing for the first time that the Iranian regime is advancing a secret plan for the technological advancement of all parts of the development of a nuclear weapon. In the framework of this plan, senior nuclear scientists in Iran have been working to secretly develop all components needed for developing a nuclear weapon,” the IDF said.

As part of the opening strikes early on Friday morning, Israel reportedly assassinated more than 10 high-ranking nuclear scientists in Iran.

“The State of Israel has been left with no choice. The IDF has the obligation to act in defense of the civilians of Israel and will continue to do so,” the military said.

The IDF also revealed that its intelligence branch has collected and analyzed “vast quantities of intelligence” pertaining to a “concrete plan to destroy the State of Israel,” which was pursued in parallel to the nuclear program.

“The regime has focused on manufacturing tens of thousands of missiles and drones, and are advancing plans for a combined ground offensive against Israel on multiple fronts simultaneously,” the IDF said.

“Materials collected during the war show the coordination between the Iranian regime and the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah, including after the October 7th Massacre, which demonstrates how the regime plans to re-arm the terrorist organizations.”

On Friday morning, the IDF’s head of the Intelligence Directorate, Maj.-Gen. Shlomi Binder, stated that the country was entering “a campaign that is no less than existential, against an enemy that seeks to destroy us, that seeks to develop nuclear capabilities, and is advancing rapidly in its nuclear development.”

“It also seeks to develop conventional weapons in extremely large quantities. This is the threat we want to degrade, disrupt, and eliminate.”

“The Intelligence Directorate has worked extremely hard to provide the warning on the nuclear advancement and the quantities of ballistic missiles. The Intelligence Directorate is prepared for this mission, is at a very high level of alert, and is, I believe, strongly positioned for the start of the campaign we are now entering,” Binder said.

“For years, the Iranian regime has been waging a direct and indirect campaign of terror against the State of Israel by developing a nuclear weapon, developing advanced long-range missiles and warheads, and funding and directing terror proxies across the Middle East,” the IDF stressed.

“The goal of destroying the State of Israel is rooted in the founding principles of the extremist regime, and leaders of the regime have openly proclaimed this.”

  1. While technically 100% correct,

    As part of the opening strikes early on Friday morning, Israel reportedly assassinated more than 10 high-ranking nuclear scientists in Iran.

    is an awkward way of putting things. Certainly, Israel planned to respond to the offensive activities by the Iranian regime, but calling plans for self-defense “assasination” is akin to saying that the Iron Dome is an offensive weapon.

    POST SHABBAT WAR UPDATE FROM ISRAEL

    The war escalated dramatically over Shabbat.

    After Israel’s miraculous and precise surprise attack deep inside Iran on Thursday night, striking military nuclear sites, senior regime and nuclear officials, and key personnel even in their beds, Iran responded over Shabbat with multiple missile barrages on Israel.

    Hundreds of rockets were fired, mostly targeting the greater Tel Aviv area two, three or four times over Shabbat. I’m still trying to figure out all the details, as so much happened over Shabbat.

    Many buildings were damaged. Three Israelis were killed, but thankfully it was only three, as it could have been much, much worse. Dozens were wounded.

    My family, like many others, spent hours in our safe room Friday night, where we ate our Shabbat meal waiting until for the end of the Iranian missile attacks.

    And then, during Shabbat, Israel struck back. Again.

    More waves of Israeli airforce strikes were launched into Iran, targeting additional military/nuclear infrastructure and senior regime figures. Israeli air superiority over Iran is now total. Our jets are refueling over Syria and striking targets at will — a military achievement that no one thought possible. Truly incredible, as Iran is a huge country, well prepared over the years with air defense systems, that we succeeded in neutralizing!

    This war was never about Gaza. It was Iran’s war from day one — October 7th. Their proxies – Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, Houthis in Yemen, terrorists in Syria and Iraq etc. Their weapons. Their plan over the decades to destroy Israel. And now we are finalluy forcing the Islamic regime of Iran to pay.

    Yes, Iran is retaliating — but they are reeling. Shocked. Unprepared for the scale, precision, and depth of Israel’s operation. They never imagined we’d hit them like this.

    Let me be clear: this war will only end in one of three ways:

    1. The Islamic republic of Iran surrenders and dismantles its nuclear military capabilities, wether via talks or not.
    2. The Iranian people overthrow the Islamic regime.
    3. Israel finishes the job in destroying their nuclear capabilities, whether by ourselves, or with US support.

    Until then, we fight. We bleed. But we stand strong — because we must win. This is a war for our survival.

    And the difference between us and them? We strike military targets and their regime/military officials. While they target our civilians.

    Never forget that difference between us and our Islamonaz*i enemies, and remind everyone about day constantly, all day long.

    But now the tide is turning. Iran’s genocidal regime is in shock. Years, really decades, of Israeli intelligence operations allowed us to pull off this stunning surprise. Our enemies can’t believe what we’ve achieved. Neither can most of the world.

    This is even greater than the miraculous six day war of 1967, and dwarfs the unbelievably miraculous intelligence beeper operation that took out hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon.

    This is a new era. The Jewish people are leading humanity, and the Jewish state of Israel, are standing up to the modern evil of the Islamonaz*i entity, as the rest of the world chose to appease it.

    We will win this war in Iran, and allow for the proud Iranian people to take the regime back from the Islamic regime that has persecuted them for decades.
    We will eradicate our Islamonaz*i enemy in Gaza.
    We will remain in Gaza, forever, to ensure that we are never threatened from there ever again with another Oct. 7th massacre.
    We will implement Trump’s emigration plan.
    We will secure our newly liberated frontier, in the newly liberated Northern Israel areas of Southern Lebanon and Syria, as deterrence against the rising Sunni jihad axis of evil that will rise as we successfully eradicate their enemy, the Iranian Shiite axis of evil.

    Patience. Strength. Faith — in God, and in ourselves.

    Because Israel is the only country in history to destroy the nuclear programs of three enemy nations – Iraq, Syria and now Iran.

    We are the front line against the red-green alliance and Islamonazi evil.

    We are the front line for the entire freedom-loving world.

    And we will not fail.

    We are rising to own our role in the world as standing up for truth and morality against an evil that the “enlightened” Western world has chosen to appease and embolden.

    We Jews are back!

    Am Yisrael Chai!!!

    With all of our successes, we can never forget that everything is thanks to Hashem!!!

    ARE WE GOOD, OR WHAT?! ?
    *An Israeli security official revealed to Fox News that Israel deceived the Iranian air force into convening a gathering of its senior commanders, who were subsequently eliminated in a deadly strike.*

    “We carried out specific operations to help us learn more about them, and then use that information to influence their behavior,” the official explained. “We knew it would lead them to meet — but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.” He further noted that the strikes exceeded Israel’s expectations in effectiveness.

    The source also indicated that air defense systems and ballistic missile installations intended for attacks against Israel had been neutralized in advance.

  7. Trump and Netanyahu

    Remember all the planted stories about them not getting along. Brilliant deception. They were united all along but wanted to give Iran, the Communist, Israel hating Democrat Party and Western Europe the impression they were not.

    Perfect.

  10. I totally believe the IDF and unconditionally support and defend Israel.

    “The goal of destroying the State of Israel is rooted in the founding principles of the extremist regime, and leaders of the regime have openly proclaimed this.”

    I believe from everything I know that I am speaking for true Marxism as carried forward by true Trotskyism
