Why Israel Targeted Natanz: Inside High-Stakes Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Core | Operation Rising Lion
In a dramatic overnight operation, Israel launched airstrikes deep inside Iranian territory, targeting the Natanz nuclear facility — the heart of Iran’s uranium enrichment program.
Confirmed by the IAEA, the attack is being seen as a pivotal moment in the escalating shadow war between the two nations.
Why did Israel choose Natanz?
What are the strategic and symbolic implications of hitting this fortified site?
We break down the timeline, the military objectives, expert reactions, and what this could mean for the future of the region.

Iran Nuclear Attack – three words that shook global diplomacy. Operation Midnight Hammer was launched with precision and power, featuring U.S. B-2 bombers striking Iran’s nuclear triangle: Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. President Trump called it a historic triumph, even comparing it to Hiroshima. But was the Iran Nuclear Attack really a knockout punch?
Now, intelligence reports challenge that claim — revealing that Iran’s key assets like enriched uranium and centrifuges were possibly moved before the bombs fell. With the Iran Nuclear Attack now in question, the world waits for clarity. Was it symbolic, strategic, or simply overstated?
A Oneindia Analysis.

U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities have triggered a new wave of concern, not just geopolitically—but environmentally. According to a shocking new IAEA report, the use of massive 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs may have caused localized radiation and chemical contamination at Iran’s Fordo and Natanz enrichment sites.

On June 21, the U.S. attacked Iran’s key nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Iran confirmed damage but said nuclear materials were moved beforehand with no leaks detected.
The UN called this a “dangerous escalation”, urging all sides to de-escalate and seek diplomacy.
In retaliation, Iran’s IRGC fired over 40 missiles at Israel, injuring many. Israel struck back with air raids across Iran, including Tehran and Isfahan. Over 400 Iranians and 25 Israelis have died so far.
Iran’s parliament supports closing the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial oil route, risking global energy disruption.
Militias allied with Iran have threatened attacks if the U.S. intervenes further, raising fears of wider regional conflict.
Will diplomacy prevail or spiral into full-scale war?

Deep divisions have emerged in Israel’s war cabinet as Prime Minister Netanyahu and IDF Chief Eyal Zamir clash over Gaza strategy. Netanyahu is pushing a mass evacuation and full siege of northern Gaza, while Zamir warns it could spark chaos and civilian backlash. Far-right ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich accuse Zamir of blocking a Gaza victory and demand intensified operations. As Trump prepares to announce a potential ceasefire, internal tensions rise, putting Israel’s military and political leadership at odds.

Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated once again after Tehran suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following US and Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities. US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce called Iran’s move "unacceptable" and urged Tehran to resume full cooperation under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
In this video, we break down what led to the latest nuclear standoff, the implications of Iran possibly exiting the NPT, the frozen US-Iran nuclear talks, and what Donald Trump and Biden are saying about sanctions and diplomacy. Will Iran return to the negotiating table, or are we on the brink of a new nuclear crisis?
Stay tuned as we unpack the geopolitical stakes, regional fallout, and what this means for global non-proliferation efforts.

In their first phone call since 2022, Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron clashed over Iran’s nuclear program. Putin firmly defended Tehran’s right to peaceful nuclear technology under the NPT, warning the West against interference and destabilizing strikes. While both leaders agreed on the need to prevent escalation, Putin rebuked Macron for France’s stance and urged an unbiased approach from the IAEA. The Kremlin emphasized diplomacy and sovereignty, cautioning that Western pressure on Iran could trigger a wider regional crisis.

400 kilograms of enriched uranium—gone. After joint airstrikes by Israel and the U.S. on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the world is left asking: Where is the uranium? Did Iran move it in time? Was it destroyed in the strikes? Or is it now scattered across secret sites, ready for weaponization?
In this video, we break down:
What happened during the June 13 airstrikes
Satellite images and intel reports from Fordow and Isfahan
Why the IAEA is being denied access
Theories behind the uranium’s disappearance
And what this mystery means for global diplomacy, nuclear security, and the next phase of U.S.-Iran tensions.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has dismissed Donald Trump’s claims of "total destruction" of Iran’s nuclear facilities as exaggerated and misleading. He accuses Trump of inflating the success of U.S. strikes to conceal strategic failures, asserting that Iran’s nuclear program remains largely intact. Supporting this, IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi says Iran could restart enrichment in months. Khamenei insists America “gained nothing” from the war, while Pentagon leaks also contradict Trump’s narrative of total obliteration.
