The Iran–Israel war is an ongoing armed conflict between Iran and the Houthis against Israel and the United States that began on 13 June 2025, when Israel launched a surprise attack targeting key Iranian military and nuclear facilities.

Other nuclear sites Iran's only commercial nuclear power plant is in Bushehr on the Persian Gulf, some 750 kilometers (465 miles) south of Tehran. Iran is building two other reactors like it at the site. Bushehr is fueled by uranium produced in Russia, not Iran, and is monitored by the IAEA.

Iran and Israel have had no diplomatic relations since 1979, and modern relations are hostile. The relationship was cordial for most of the Cold War, but worsened following the Iranian Revolution and has been openly hostile since the end of the Gulf War in 1991.
