After 12 days of fighting, U.S. President Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran.
The war against the Shiite axis in the Middle East isn't over, but many Arab commentators say Israel achieved unprecedented success. Thanks to U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu achieved a strategic goal that the IDF could not have reached alone.
Israel's strikes severely disrupted Iran’s nuclear program, destroying the main facilities at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. However, about 400 kg of uranium enriched to 60% remain unaccounted for. Iran claims it removed it before the attack.
Security sources say the joint Israeli-American attacks, along with Mossad’s assassinations of 17 top nuclear scientists, have dealt a critical blow to Tehran’s nuclear project. While 80 scientists remain active, the loss is still significant.
