Key Phrases
"Isfahan hosts critical military, aerospace and elements of Iran's nuclear-industrial infrastructure, so strikes directly degrade strategic capabilities.""A US strike on such facilities marks a major escalation between great powers and raises the probability of direct Iranian retaliation against US, Israeli, Gulf, or maritime targets.""Damage to nuclear-related sites increases risks of contamination concerns, political pressure, and potential acceleration of Iran’s defensive or nuclear posture.""Strikes on logistics/munitions hubs hinder Iran's ability to sustain regional proxy operations (Hezbollah, Houthis) and may prompt asymmetric responses.""Regional escalation could threaten shipping in the Gulf/Red Sea and draw in other states, complicating de-escalation and crisis management."
