<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Islamic Republic of Iran</a> temporarily closed its nuclear facilities this week over “security considerations” that they could be targeted by Israel in an airstrike in retaliation for Iran&#8217;s unprecedented missile and drone barrage.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are always concerned about this possibility,&#8221; said International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi at a U.N. Security Council meeting. &#8220;What I can tell you is that our inspectors in Iran were informed by the Iranian government that [Sunday], all the nuclear facilities that we are inspecting every day would remain closed on security considerations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Grossi kept inspectors back on Monday over fears that Israel could hit the facilities after Iran launched combined more than 300 missiles and drones at Israel over the weekend — the first time the country has ever directly attacked Israel.</p>
<p>Several foreign policy and military experts urged Israel to strike Iran&#8217;s nuclear program following the attack, arguing that the window was closing for them to do so.</p>
<p>&#8220;Most importantly, I think Israel should be looking at this as an opportunity to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program, which is the existential threat that Israel faces,&#8221; said former Trump national security adviser John Bolton.</p>
<p>Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a non-partisan institution focusing on national security and foreign policy; Brigadier General (Res.) Professor Jacob Nagel, senior fellow at FDD and a former top Israeli official, said in an article that Israel “must now shift to neutralizing Iran’s nuclear scientists and their ability to build an actual weapon.”</p>

<p>“After this weekend, the threat of a nuclear weapon being deployed from inside Iran toward Israel is a step closer to reality,” they added.</p>
<p>Other experts <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/israel-iran-strikes-live-coverage/card/israeli-hit-on-iranian-nuclear-facilities-seen-as-unlikely-for-now-jq336GBNOF0phHVH1oF9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">believe</a> that an attack could actually strengthen Iran&#8217;s resolve to build nuclear weapons and lead to &#8220;Iran&#8217;s decision to break out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Experts also believe that the longer that Israel takes to respond to the attacks, the less likely their response is to be significant in scale and impact.</p>
