Israel accused Iran of destroying a secret facility where it had conducted nuclear weapon experiments. In a televised speech, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed satellite images from the past summer of the facility south of Isfahan which allegedly showed that Iran had destroyed the site. Netanyahu claimed that Iran destroyed the facility after learning that Israel had discovered it, adding that the intelligence was based on documents from the Tehran archive obtained by Mossad in a covert operation last year. Netanyahu gave no additional details of the alleged nuclear work or when it occurred, but said that Israel has shared its intelligence with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
