As Iran strikes back at Israel after an unprecedented attack on Tehran’s nuclear operations, WSJ explains Iran’s military capabilities and strategy.

Looking ahead, the IDF warned that Iran’s damaged nuclear facilities could take months or even longer to repair.

Experts suggest the U.S. has a strategic opportunity to leverage Iran's weakened position for a nuclear deal after Israel's targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites.

Israel's military has deployed troops nationwide as its conflict with Iran intensifies. In preparation for possible retaliatory actions from Iran or its allies, reservists across various units have been called up.

After such a devastating attack from Israel, Iran’s leaders see no choice but to fight back. Any sign of weakness would severely undermine the regime’s legitimacy at home.

As tensions escalate, Iran has developed a range of calculated options to retaliate if attacked, raising the stakes for the entire region.

Israeli emergency services have said at least two people were killed in the strikes and dozens of people are injured.
