U.S.,Israel Coordinate Attack on Iran’s Nuclear Program
Updated July 01,2025
Following the December 2024 collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria,after the fall of Hezbollah,and amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions,the United states and Israel coordinated a military operation to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program. The action, which took place in June 2025, followed President Donald Trump’s reelection and growing concerns over Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
In May 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) voiced concerns about Iran’s increasing uranium stockpile and lack of cooperation with inspections. Israeli intelligence indicated that Iran was nearing the capability to produce a nuclear warhead, which prompted Israel to act.
Netanyahu considered countering Iran’s threats his life’s mission. He had long warned of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, viewing them as an existential threat to Israel.
In April 2025, the U.S. and Iran held talks in Oman and Rome, mediated by Oman. Despite these discussions, Israel finalized its plans to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Trump gave Iran 60 days to dismantle its nuclear program, but Iran did not comply.
On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, targeting Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missile capabilities. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck key facilities, causing notable damage.
On June 22, 2025, the U.S. military launched Operation Midnight Hammer, with U.S. air Force and Navy forces attacking nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Using GBU-57A/B Mop bombs dropped from B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, along with Tomahawk missiles, the operation aimed to eliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Following the attack, President Trump announced that Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities had been “completely and totally obliterated.”
What’s next
The coordinated U.S. and Israeli action marks a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions, with uncertain implications for regional stability and international relations.
