What has Israel's attack on Iran's "nuclear heart" achieved?
The Israeli military strike on Iran early this Friday represents a significant escalation in its long-standing campaign to disrupt Tehran's nuclear ambitions; it targeted the core of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, in its largest known attack on the country to date.
The 2015 nuclear agreement represented a temporary success in curbing Iran's program, according to The New York Times, as it forced Iran to abandon 97% of its enriched uranium and limited enrichment levels to a non-weapons grade.
However, after President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the agreement in 2018, Iran resumed enrichment activities and ultimately accelerated them, impacting global financial markets that saw millions of dollars in sell-offs.
