Channel 14 aired an investigation by reporter Dror Balazada describing Mount Makosh, the hardened underground nuclear facility, as the most important strategic asset of Iran's nuclear program. The report highlights the site's central role in Iran's nuclear infrastructure amid ongoing US-Israeli focus on the facility.
The investigation by Channel 14, Israel's commercial broadcaster, focuses on the subterranean Mount Makosh facility, which has been a central topic in US-Israeli strategic discussions since July 2026. As The Zioneer has reported, the site has been identified by Israeli intelligence as a location where Iran has transferred thousands of centrifuges, and President Trump has threatened to strike it. The investigation adds to the growing public scrutiny of the facility, which international inspectors have never visited and which is considered one of the most hardened aerial targets in Iran's nuclear program.
