Israel has launched a series of strikes against Iran, targeting the country’s nuclear program and other military infrastructure. Iran has launched its own strikes in retaliation.

Jonathan Conricus, a former IDF spokesperson, says Iran is "the weakest that I've ever seen it" after Israel's launch of Operation Rising Lion.

The Israeli military said it killed nine senior scientists and experts who played a role in Iran’s nuclear program in strikes Friday. Israel says Iran intends to build a nuclear weapon, and is quite close to being able to.
