In a bold military maneuver, the United States, under President Donald Trump's directive, launched an attack on Iran's nuclear sites, a move celebrated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as 'peace through strength'. The strike on Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan sought to dismantle Iran's controversial nuclear program.

The strategic operation, dubbed Rising Lion, saw Israel's collaboration with the US in targeting key nuclear and missile production sites within Iran. Netanyahu asserted that this action, potentially reshaping regional dynamics, was essential to preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear-armed state.
