Israel strike on Iranian nuclear facility in 2024?

On top of all the problems other raised (unreliable report, no consensus, activity was over 20 years ago), there is an important misunderstanding on what "nuclear technology" means. The work that was alleged to have happened in Parchin up to 2003 is regarding nuclear detonators. Despite the name, nuclear detonators are NOT nuclear technology. They direct energy from a conventional explosion to generate enough pressure for a nuclear reaction. So the work itself does not involve fissile material, nuclear energy, nuclear reactions or anything of that sort. The fissile material is brought in only when a nuclear bomb is actually tested, which Iran has never done. The IAEA has additionally examined the site and found no evidence of fissile material. Of course, some claimed this was due to sanitization efforts. However, it is extremely difficult to remove all trace radiation from a site that handled fissile material. Bottom line: not only is Parchin no longer relevant, it was NEVER involved in "development, enrichment, storage, or processing of nuclear material or technology".
