Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today that in the Israeli retaliatory attack on Iran in October, Iran's defenses as well as its ability to produce missiles were degraded, and that a facility dealing with the development of the nuclear program was also hit.
"It is not a secret. There is a specific part of their nuclear program that was hit in that attack," Netanyahu said in the Israeli parliament (Knesset).
However, he added that Iran's path to nuclear weapons is not blocked, Israeli media reported.
Last Sunday, the news website Axios reported that Israel had destroyed an active nuclear weapons research facility in Parchin in an attack on Iran.
Tehran threatened to attack Israel in retaliation for October 26 airstrikes on Iranian air defense batteries and Iranian missile sites on October 1.
Netanyahu recently said that Iran's ballistic missile attack on Israel cost Tehran $2,3 billion and warned that a third Iranian attack would cripple Iran's economy.
The Israeli leader also assessed that the October 1 attack caused marginal damage to Israel. It was the second Iranian attack on Israel, after the drone and rocket attacks in April.
