The Israeli military confirmed that its fighter jets struck dozens of military targets in Iran overnight, including the “inactive” Arak nuclear facility in what it said was an attempt to prevent its potential use for nuclear weapons development.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed Thursday the facility, about 155 miles (250 kilometers) southwest of Tehran, was designed to product weapons-grade plutonium, a material used in the development of nuclear weapons.

“The strike targeted the component intended for plutonium production, in order to prevent the reactor from being restored and used for nuclear weapons development,” the IDF said in its statement.

While the heavy water production plant at the site has been working for years, the nuclear reactor was never fully completed under pressure from the international community to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation.

The Israeli military said it also struck what it said was a nuclear weapons development site in the area of Natanz, around 180 miles (300 kilometers) south of Tehran, which it said contained “components and specialized equipment” used to advance a nuclear weapons development.
