Initial findings from an investigation into the latest Israeli airstrikes on Iran suggest that depleted uranium munitions may have been used, according to Iran’s Fars News Agency, which cited informed sources.

The strikes, carried out on June 13, targeted military and civilian sites across Iran. While investigations are ongoing, early analysis points to the possible deployment of high-density munitions linked to depleted uranium. “The investigations are still ongoing and not yet conclusive,” one source said, noting that authorities are closely monitoring the situation for final confirmation.

Depleted uranium, a byproduct of uranium enrichment, is often used in armor-piercing projectiles due to its high density. However, its use is controversial and raises serious health and environmental concerns. The munitions can create clouds of radioactive and toxic metal particles upon impact, prompting warnings from global health and environmental agencies.

It is worth noting that "Israel" has been a vocal critic of Iran's uranium enrichment activities, falsely accusing Iran of enriching uranium for military purposes under the guise of peaceful, civilian use. Iran, however, has consistently asserted the peaceful nature of its program, rejecting all demands to cease its enrichment. 

 

To further highlight the double standards, several investigations speculated that "Israel" deployed munitions infused with depleted uranium in its aggressions, particularly in Lebanon, as per Lebanon’s Syndicate of Chemists, and Gaza, dating as far back as 2006.
