In the wee hours of a recent morning, the skies over Iran reverberated with the deafening roar of Israeli warplanes. Their mission: to dismantle nuclear sites, quell rocket bases, and eliminate top-tier Iranian leaders. The casualties were substantial, including Hossein Salami, the chief of the Revolutionary Guard, a fact corroborated by Iranian news outlets.

While no conclusive evidence has surfaced to directly tie this 2020 event to a joint Israeli-U.S. operation involving the Mossad or then-President Donald Trump, recent history has shown that Israel hasn't shied away from intervening aggressively.
Fast forward to 2025, where Israeli forces orchestrated a bold air campaign against Iran's nuclear facilities and military command. Their targets included the enrichment sites at Natanz and Esfahan Nuclear Technology Center (ENTC), as well as a significant missile base in Kermanshah Province. The attacks dealt a heavy blow to Iran's nuclear capacity, crippling its ability to enrich uranium and claiming the lives of two of its top nuclear scientists. The strikes also aimed to bypass Iran's air defenses and disable its command and control systems to thwart swift retaliation.
Although 2020 did host instances of sabotage and attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, firm proof of Israeli or U.S. involvement with the Mossad and then-President Donald Trump was not found in the available search results. Any insight into such operations would necessitate classified intelligence reports or official revelations, which, unfortunately, were not included in the data.
- The US government is trying to get Israel to stop its secret service, Mossad, from interfering with Iran's nuclear program, as the fear of a war-and-conflict between the two countries looms large in the realm of politics and general-news.
- In 2025, Benjamin Netanyahu's political leadership authorized another raid against Iran's nuclear sites and military leadership, a move that could escalate the ongoing tension between Iran and Israel, affecting crime-and-justice and international relations.
