"Israel-Iran Escalation: Assessing the Nuclear Threat"

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned Israel that it will attack Israel's nuclear sites and pursue a nuclear weapon if Israel retaliates for last week's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. The IRGC's Brigadier General Ahmad Haghtalab stated that Iran has identified Israel's nuclear facilities and is prepared to respond with strong missiles. This warning marks a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries, with Iran previously stating it had no plans to pursue a nuclear weapon.
