The ongoing U.S. and Israeli priority has been to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability, a concern rooted in the historical development of Iran's nuclear program. Although Iran has maintained claims of civilian nuclear development, Western analysts remain unconvinced, linking Tehran's activities to a covert weapons agenda. Recently, Israel executed airstrikes targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities, particularly the Natanz enrichment site, as part of efforts to disrupt Iran's nuclear ambitions, which have been ongoing since the 1950s.
Taking out both sites is a critical goal for Israel.
Iran claims it is interested in developing nuclear reactors only for civilian energy use, but analysts - and Western governments - have long contended otherwise.
