Israel attacks Iran - 10 things to know with detail
On April 22, 2021, Israeli forces reportedly carried out a cyberattack on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility. The attack caused a blackout at the facility and damaged centrifuges used to enrich uranium.
The attack was suspected to be in retaliation for Iran's alleged involvement in an explosion on an Israeli-owned cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman in March.
Iran vowed to take revenge for the attack on Natanz, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calling it an act of "nuclear terrorism."
The attack on Natanz came amid ongoing negotiations between Iran and world powers to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which the Trump administration withdrew from in 2018.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long been a vocal opponent of the nuclear deal and has repeatedly called for a tougher stance on Iran's nuclear program.
The attack on Natanz was the latest in a series of incidents in the shadow war between Israel and Iran, which have been engaged in a regional power struggle for years.
Israel has carried out numerous airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria, where Iran has been supporting the Assad regime in the civil war.
Iran, in turn, has backed various militant groups in the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, which have carried out attacks against Israel.
The escalating tensions between Israel and Iran have raised concerns about the possibility of a wider conflict in the region, with the potential for devastating consequences.
Both Israel and Iran have vowed to defend their interests and security, making the prospect of de-escalation and diplomatic resolution increasingly challenging.
