Why Iran’s Nuclear Program Isn’t the Only Threat

In February 2026, a news report by Mark Mazzetti and others highlighted Israel's concerns regarding Iran. While nuclear program talks continue, Israel's immediate worry centers on Iran's efforts to rebuild its missile capabilities. These capabilities, as demonstrated during the previous year's war, pose a direct threat to Israel. The report, based on the latest intelligence, suggests that Iran's missile program is a pressing security issue for Israel, potentially overshadowing the focus on nuclear development. The report emphasizes the urgency of addressing Iran's missile threat alongside its nuclear ambitions.
