U.S. and Israeli officials have confirmed Friday that Israel’s attack on Iran in October destroyed an active top secret nuclear weapons research facility, damaging Iran’s nuclear weapons research program, putting pressure on Iran and Hezbollah.
Friday’s news coincided with a series of Israeli airstrikes in Beirut that destroyed at least one high-rise building in a Hezbollah-controlled area. You can see the building collapse here.
Lebanon’s prime minister has asked Iran to help broker a cease-fire in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah war, as Israel has intensified its attacks on Hezbollah since September.
According to Lebanese media, U.S. Ambassador Lisa Johnson presented a cease-fire proposal to Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who has been representing Hezbollah in the negotiations.
