Israel's PM says it struck Iran at the heart of its "weaponization programme", but Iran insists its nuclear facilities were peaceful.

Iran says it has built and will activate a third nuclear enrichment facility, ratcheting up tensions with the U.N. immediately after its atomic watchdog censured Iran for failing to comply with obligations meant to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon.

Iran has rapidly escalated production of fissile material in the past six months and is producing around one nuclear weapon’s worth of 60% highly enriched uranium a month, principally at its Fordow site.
