Six Iranian nuclear sites struck in latest US-Israeli strikes tied to atomic weaponisation: think tank report

Tehran, May 8 (UNI) At least six Iranian nuclear sites were struck in recent US and Israeli attacks, with most of the confirmed or suspected targets linked to work associated with building a nuclear weapon, according to a new satellite imagery assessment by the Institute for Science and International Security.
The Washington-based institute said another three sites may also have been tied to nuclear activity, although there was not yet enough evidence to confirm that. Overall, it estimated that between six and nine of the recently attacked sites were nuclear-related.
The report's most significant conclusion is that four to seven of those sites were directly, or potentially, involved in nuclear weaponisation, the process of turning enriched nuclear material into a functioning bomb.
