Israel signaled a potential halt to its military campaign against Iran if Supreme Leader Khamenei ceases hostilities and seeks a resolution. This follows a US strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, reportedly causing significant damage, including the destruction of the Natanz facility. Israeli officials estimate hundreds of kilograms of enriched uranium were destroyed, setting back Iran's nuclear program by over a decade. Israel emphasizes its goal is limiting Iran's nuclear program, not regime change, and hopes to conclude the campaign quickly, but will respond to further Iranian attacks. While the full impact of the US strike is still being assessed, Israel is not anticipating a nuclear agreement with Iran.
