Why Did Israel Attack Iran in the Middle of US-Iran Nuclear Talks?
- On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a large-scale attack on about 100 targets across Iran, including nuclear and military sites.
- Israel carried out the strikes due to concerns that Iran was rushing to assemble nuclear weapons amidst stalled talks and regional tensions.
- The attacks, lasting hours, killed senior Iranian military leaders and prominent nuclear scientists, significantly weakening Iran's missile and nuclear programs.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue strikes “for as many days as it takes,” while U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff remained ready to meet Iranians to pressure a deal.
- The strikes raise risks of escalation and retaliation but aim to degrade Iran's regional influence and press for a political resolution of its nuclear ambitions.
