💨 Abstract

Early on Friday, Israel initiated "Operation Rising Lion" against Iranian nuclear facilities, following failed diplomatic efforts, and the U.S. was not involved. This Israeli attack concerns diplomacy enthusiasts and critics on both sides of the aisle. President Trump continued to push for diplomatic negotiations with Iran right up until the Israeli strikes, urging Iranian officials to reach a deal on their nuclear program. Meanwhile, Iranian leaders have promised to retaliate against the preemptive Israeli strikes.
