CNN reports that the US military has prepared a series of strikes against Iran's nuclear infrastructure, with the Mount Makosh facility named as a target. The report adds to a wave of US media reports in recent days on planned American operations against Iran's nuclear program.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday, the Wall Street Journal and CBS News reported that President Trump ordered strikes on Iran this weekend, with the US and Israel planning joint operations targeting energy infrastructure. The CNN report is the first to specifically detail preparations against nuclear infrastructure, including Mount Makosh, which has been a focal point of US threats in recent weeks.
The Mount Makosh site, a hardened underground nuclear facility, is widely assessed as a key node in Iran's efforts to protect its enrichment capabilities from aerial bombardment. The US military officially added the site to its target bank earlier this month, according to previous reports. The report remains unconfirmed by official US sources.
