Overview

• The Israel Defense Forces launched a second wave of airstrikes overnight, focusing on two centrifuge production buildings within the Isfahan complex.
• Military officials report that the raids have severely damaged Iran’s uranium enrichment infrastructure and delayed its nuclear weapons timeline by an estimated two to three years.
• These follow initial strikes on June 13 and build on earlier attacks targeting Natanz and Fordo underground enrichment sites.
• Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation has downplayed the impact, stating there was no extensive damage and no radiation threat to nearby communities.
• In response, Iran has fired ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, most of which its air defenses have intercepted, as the exchange of strikes continues to escalate.
