BlockBeats News: On June 13, according to a report by AXIOS, Israel conducted a staggering and extensive nighttime operation against Iran, which followed eight months of intensive and covert preparation. Back in October last year, when tensions escalated with Iran striking Israel and both nations engaging in mutual retaliation, Netanyahu conceived the idea of targeting both Iran’s missile and nuclear programs simultaneously.
He regarded these two as existential threats to Israel. Another factor motivating Israel to take such action was intelligence suggesting that Iran might be able to produce a nuclear bomb more quickly. A new underground uranium enrichment facility, which Iran plans to make operational in the coming weeks, would be impervious to U.S. large-scale bunker buster bombs, adding urgency to Israel's actions.
