Overnight, Israel launched a sweeping preemptive strike on Iran. The operation, named Strength of a Lion, targeted nuclear facilities, missile infrastructure, and top military leadership. Among the most critical targets: the Natanz uranium enrichment plant. Iranian state media confirms the deaths of senior Revolutionary Guard commanders and nuclear scientists.

Why now? What exactly was hit? How might Iran respond? And was the U.S. involved?
