Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly implied that his country is capable of attacking all of Iran’s nuclear facilities — even the secretive Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, which is believed to be buried half a mile under a mountain.
Netanyahu insisted the Jewish state “will achieve all our objectives” despite many military experts doubting that the Jewish state has the capabilities of taking out the underground nuclear facility site.
“We will achieve all our objectives and hit all of their nuclear facilities. We have the capability to do that,” Netanyahu said when asked by a reporter about Fordow specifically.
Israel has struck several Iranian nuclear sites since launching its “Operation Rising Lion” airstrikes on the Islamic Republic, including a primary facility in Natanz, as well as ones near Tehran and Isfahan.
The Israelis have also taken out over a dozen top Iranian scientists and key military brass as well.
