Israel Hits Iran Nuke program

 Newsmax:

Israel destroyed a top secret nuclear weapons research facility during its missile attack on Iran last month, it was reported Friday.

The Taleghan 2 facility in the Parchin military complex, located roughly 20 miles southeast of Tehran, previously had been reported to be inactive.

Instead, Israel's missiles significantly damaged Iran's effort during the past year to resume nuclear weapons research, multiple officials told Axios.

Officials told the outlet that the Taleghan 2 facility was used to conduct nuclear weapons research that also could be presented as research for civilian purposes.

"They conducted scientific activity that could lay the ground for the production of a nuclear weapon. It was a top secret thing. A small part of the Iranian government knew about this, but most of the Iranian government didn't," one U.S. official told Axios.

The attack destroyed sophisticated equipment used to design the plastic explosives that surround uranium in nuclear devices and are needed to detonate them, an ex-Israeli official told the outlet.

Iran's irrational war against Israel is becoming more costly for the Iranian Islamic religious bigots.  There are sane Iranians who should be put in charge of its government. Israeli intelligence appears to be on to the mullah's secret objectives.

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
