People gather on a hill to watch smoke rising in the distance from an Israeli airstrike in Tehran, Iran, on June 14, 2025.

Overview

  • Israeli jets struck over 150 targets, hitting nuclear facilities at Natanz and Isfahan as well as energy infrastructure including the South Pars gas field
  • Iran retaliated with more than 200 drones and ballistic missiles in four waves, most intercepted with U.S. assistance but several strikes reached central cities and caused civilian casualties
  • The U.N. nuclear watchdog and Israeli officials say damage to above-ground sections at Natanz and Isfahan will take Iran weeks to repair, setting its program back potentially by years
  • Oman confirmed the cancellation of the sixth round of indirect U.S.-Iran nuclear talks after Tehran deemed negotiations unjustifiable under ongoing Israeli attacks
  • Global leaders have urged both sides to exercise restraint, warning that further escalation risks drawing in additional actors and destabilizing the wider region
