What has Israel's attack on Iran's "heart" achieved?

The Israeli military strike on Iran early Friday morning represents a significant escalation in its long-standing campaign to disrupt Tehran's nuclear ambitions; it targeted the heart of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, in what is known to be its largest attack on the country so far.

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 non-weapons grade.

However, after President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the agreement in 2018, Iran resumed enrichment activities, eventually accelerating them, which affected global financial markets that saw liquidations in the millions of dollars.
