The list of cities is interesting. Most of them house nuclear facilities - whether power plants, heavy water production, strong aluminum production, or uranium enrichment. One or more house Air Force Bases, and the Island looks like it is a/the deep water port where they load oil to sell, bypassing western sanctions.
I assume Natanz is still the prize, but I think Israel would have to depend heavily on our munitions given the depth and protection Iran has continued to add to the facility. Israel has paid/bribed insiders before to sabotage Natanz, bombed the plant, and of course Natanz was the target for the infamous Stuxnet. Unless Israel decided to use tactical nukes they developed, they would likely have to use bunker busters on Natanz. I'm not looking forward to some mullah holding pieces of a missile with US markings on it in front of live TV cameras...
Israel escalated this BIG TIME. As such, I doubt this attack is even over. They would have to make damn sure they destroyed any nuclear weapons and any future production. I doubt that happened in one night.
They shut down trading on Robin Hood. Iran is denying they were attacked and saying they don't know why the Western media is spreading these falsehoods. Could the government be trying to hide or delay an imminent financial collapse?

The news tomorrow morning should be fire.
