Netanyahu Reveals ‘Nuclear R&D Site’ in Iran; Rivals Slam ‘Electioneering’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Israel has identified additional Iranian sites used to develop Tehran's nuclear program in a special televised address eight days before Israel's election.

In addition to the nuclear site known to the IAEA, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, Netanyahu said, there is another secret Iranian site in Abadeh, south of Isfahan, used for the development of nuclear weapons. When Iran learned that Israel knew of the site and what it was used for, they destroyed it completely.

Netanyahu did not specify what exactly was being developed at the site or how Iran found out that Israel is aware of the site.
