Although Iran maintains that its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes, Israel has long seen it as a threat. Israeli strikes have hit three of Iran’s nuclear facilities — Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow. Little damage appears visible in satellite imagery of Fordow.

The conflict between Israel and Iran has wreaked considerable damage in both countries and caused casualties on both sides.

An Israeli airstrike struck Iran's state-run television broadcaster during a live broadcast Monday, intensifying an already volatile confrontation between the two regional rivals. The attack came amid a series of tit-for-tat strikes that have killed hundreds across both countries since the outbreak of hostilities late last week.
