Early Friday, Israel launched a military strike targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities, including the nation's main uranium enrichment plant. The Israeli government declared the move as vital in blocking Tehran's potential atomic weapon development.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described this as a decisive moment, noting that the operation also targets Iranian nuclear scientists and missile factories, and is set to continue for several days. Iran has consistently claimed its nuclear activities serve peaceful purposes.
