hits 'n' spits: the latest on Israel-Iran nuclear standoff
U.S. nuclear negotiations with Iran halt following Israeli attacks
The Israel-Iran nuclear showdown has heated up like a southwest desert sun. Israel's air-strikes slammed into Iranian nuclear facilities on June 12 and 13, hammering Iran's uranium enrichment capabilities. This blast-off is part of a full-fledged air raid, aimed at tidying up, wrecking, and obliterating any Iranian nuclear threat[2]. The Israeli offensive is focused on snuffing out Iran's rapid Uranium enrichment, a move that could let Iran get its hands on nuclear arms in no time[2].
As of June 15, 2025, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) kept bombarding various nuclear sites in Tehran[1]. The prime goal of this crusade is to push Iran into talks or to clobber its nuclear program[2].

In recent times, there have been a flurry of reports about the shape of Iran's nuclear facilities, following the Israeli attacks[2]. Safety and integrity concerns about these facilities are becoming more and more apparent, adding to worries about Iran's next move.
