Can Israel Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Sites?

On Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Operation Rising Lion, a pre-emptive military attack targeting Iran's nuclear, military sites, and key officials mainly at Natanz in central Iran.
The strikes aimed to halt Iran's uranium enrichment progress amid stalled diplomatic talks and increased regional tensions following the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
The operation involved roughly 200 Israeli warplanes hitting over 100 locations including Natanz, missile factories, and killing senior commanders and leading nuclear scientists.
Israel claimed Iran was close to creating a nuclear weapon, with Netanyahu stating it could produce one within a very short time, while Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei promised severe retaliation.
The strikes triggered region-wide airspace closures, emergency measures in Israel, calls for restraint from the U.N. and Gulf states, and raised fears of expanded conflict with U.S. urging Iran against targeting Americans.
