Israel Strikes Natanz Nuclear Facility, Impacting Regional Tensions

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a targeted airstrike against Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility. While no casualties or radioactive leaks have been reported, the attack has caused damage to the facility according to Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI). Israel claims this action aims to dismantle Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities, while they described it as preemptive. This event could significantly escalate geopolitical tensions in the region and impact broader global markets. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is holding an emergency meeting to address the situation.
