Iran

FRONTLINE's “Strike on Iran: The Nuclear Question,” is an updated report that is produced with The Washington Post, Evident Media and Bellingcat. The documentary investigates Iran’s nuclear program after the June 2025 strikes. Iran's ability to build a nuclear weapon was the primary justification for the ongoing U.S. Israeli war with Iran.

One month into the U.S. Israeli war against Iran, and there remain questions about why President Trump decided to launch the attack and what the objectives are. Under the Constitution only Congress has the authority to declare war — but that didn’t happen. San Antonio Congressman Joaquin Castro (D) joins us to answer your questions about the war with Iran.

An Iranian strike on an air base in Saudi Arabia wounded at least 15 U.S. service members. Israel also said it intercepted a missile launched from Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Iran says no to President Trump's ceasefire plan and publicized a counterproposal that includes war reparations and Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.

International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi said Iran's nuclear program is heavily damaged, "but the material will still be there and the enrichment capacities will be there."

With the Iran war entering a third week, Israel said it plans for at least three more weeks of war, while President Trump demanded other countries help the U.S. secure the vital Strait of Hormuz.

The United States and Israel are now at war with Iran. This direct conflict has grown out of decades of simmering hostility but is now erupting, reshaping the Middle East and rattling the global economy. FRONTLINE has produced and is streaming an updated presentation of Remaking the Middle East. From award-winning FRONTLINE filmmakers James Jacoby and Anya Bourg.

Israel announced a barrage of new strikes on western Iran on Sunday, while Iran's foreign minister said the country has not asked for a ceasefire as President Trump had claimed.

President Trump said on Friday the U.S. military had "totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island." This, as all six crew members on a refueling plane that went down in western Iraq were confirmed dead.

Iran's state media issued what it said was a statement by Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, vowing to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and keep up attacks on U.S. bases in the region.
