Tensions Rise: Israel and Iran's Nuclear Standoff

Following Iran's missile attack on Israel, speculation has surged regarding a potential Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. This comes amid rising tensions and long-standing threats from Israel.

Iran's nuclear program, which spans numerous sites, has continuously expanded its uranium enrichment activities since the U.S. withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal. Some of these sites are underground, complicating potential airstrikes.

Key sites include Natanz, Fordow, Isfahan, and Khondab, with the program's progression reducing the time needed for Iran to produce nuclear-grade uranium. Global observers, including the U.N. nuclear watchdog, continue to monitor these developments closely.
