On Sunday, a new report came out that, among Saturday night's targets in Iran hit by American attacks, there was a strike against a nuclear facility under construction, that being what is called the Darkhovin facility.
The Iranian government is said to be "furious." Good. This is a military target, no matter what Iran has to say about it.
US air strikes on Iran overnight hit a nuclear-power plant under construction, according to furious Tehran officials.
During an eighth consecutive day of strikes on the country, the US attacked the partly built Darkhovin nuke facility in the southwest of the country, according to Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization — an assault that came the day after two American service members were reported killed, with a third still missing.
“An attack on a peaceful nuclear facility under international safeguards is a clear violation of international law,” the organization raged on social media.
The group did not reveal the extent of the possible damage from the attack, which the US has yet to confirm.
This is precisely the kind of target American forces should be razing to the ground. Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, in its outrage, is again dissembling; nothing this regime does is peaceful or has an entirely peaceful purpose. If this facility had been allowed to move to completion, it somehow would have been folded into Iran's attempts to develop a nuclear weapon. And yet, the Trump administration has not acknowledged the strike, nor indicated if it was American weapons that struck Darkhovin; there are unconfirmed reports that the site was struck by at least three missiles, but so far, it's not clear who fired the missiles; it may well have been one of the Gulf Arab states that Iran has targeted with missile and drone attacks.
Big blow to Iran

Iran, true to form, is still tossing weapons at its Gulf state neighbors.
On Saturday, Iran destroyed at least two US fighter aircraft during a missile and drone attack on a US military base in Jordan, according to Iranian state TV.
Kuwait’s army said Sunday that it had again intercepted Iranian missiles and drones earlier in the day, after coming under sustained attack starting Saturday.
Bahrain’s air defenses also intercepted an Iranian attack Sunday, its state TV reported.
There were no reports of any casualties or damage in these latest attacks, and Iran did not claim responsibility for them.
On Sunday, the international airport and seaport in Aqaba, southern Jordan, were evacuated because of a “specific and credible threat,” added the US embassy in the Jordanian capital Amman.
If Iran keeps up the attacks, it's understandable that, sooner or later, those states will start responding in kind.
