The Israeli- U.S. joint military operation against Iranian targets is still in its early stages, but it is intertwined with the war development in the Gaza Strip, particularly following the direct exchange of attacks in April 2024 and the escalation in October. The military operations were further expanded on June 13, 2025, with Israel launching a military operation against the Iranian capabilities, which was then followed by the U.S. “Operation Midnight Hammer” on June 22, 2025, targeting three nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
