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 heart of Iran's nuclear infrastructure in the largest known attack on the country to date.

The 2015 nuclear agreement represented a temporary success in limiting Iran's program, according to The New York Times, as it forced Iran to abandon 97% of its enriched uranium and set the enrichment level to a non-weapon-grade level.

However, after President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the agreement in 2018, Iran resumed enrichment activities and ultimately accelerated them, affecting global financial markets that witnessed sell-offs worth millions of dollars.
