The Global News Podcast reports on Israel's military strikes on Iran, dubbed "Operation Rising Lion," targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure in response to the perceived threat of Iran developing nuclear weapons. The strikes involved dozens of airstrikes across Iran, resulting in the deaths of key Iranian military figures and nuclear scientists. While Israel claims the attack was carried out with US cooperation, the extent of US involvement remains unclear. The attack has heightened tensions in the region, leading to suspension of air traffic, a state of emergency in Israel, and concerns about potential retaliation from Iran. The IAEA has confirmed that the Natanz nuclear site was hit but has not detected any radiation spread. The podcast includes reactions from people in Jerusalem and Tehran, as well as analysis from experts on the strategic implications and potential consequences of the attack.
