"Iran's Unprecedented Nuclear Threat Escalates Duel with Israel"

Iran has issued a public threat to reconsider its nuclear program's peaceful objectives in response to anticipated attacks from Israel, with a top Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander warning of potential deviation from previous considerations and reciprocal missile strikes against Israeli nuclear sites. Tensions have escalated following Iran's recent attack on Israel and Israeli officials' vow to respond, prompting fears of a wider conflict. Efforts to revive the Iran nuclear deal have stalled since 2018, and Iran's uranium enrichment levels are close to weapons grade, although it is not currently undertaking key nuclear weapons-development activities.
