Israeli and U.S. forces have conducted extensive airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, missile production sites, and military infrastructure since late February 2026, followed by a fragile ceasefire in early April. Recent U.S. intelligence assessments indicate Iran has restored much of its underground missile infrastructure and retained a significant portion of its prewar capabilities, prompting Israeli leaders to maintain high alert and state that the conflict remains unresolved. Ongoing diplomatic talks over sanctions relief, guarantees against future aggression, and control of the Strait of Hormuz continue without agreement, while reports of potential Israeli special forces activity inside Iran remain unconfirmed. Any verified ground operation would likely hinge on renewed escalation, Israeli assessments of nuclear reconstitution, or breakdown in mediation efforts within the coming weeks.
