      … they’ve never accused iran of using DU weapons, though. Iran doesn’t even have the capacity to produce DU weapons. The strikes in the article were designed to disable the infrastructure that would be required for the depletion of uranium. It’s a byproduct of the enrichment process.

    Initial tests conducted at the impact zones reportedly detected traces suggestive of uranium, although further technical analysis is still underway to confirm the findings.

    Military experts are currently examining debris and munitions remnants from bombs dropped by Israel in Iran during the recent 12-day war. More detailed findings will be released once final lab results are available, the source stated, cautioning against premature conclusions.

    So, maybe they did and thats awful if so, but the source in the article cautions against the exact kind of headline this was given.

    Finding the source of trace evidence of uranium at, say, a uranium enrichment facility that was bombed is very difficult. For all henious shit the US and Israel have done recently, why do we need to misrepresent things? Is this article just to undermine the legitimacy of other reporting on this issue?
