Report to Congress on U.S. Military Operations Against Iran’s Missile, Nuclear Programs​

The following is the Oct. 20, 2026, Congressional Research Service report, U.S. Military Operations Against Iran’s Missile and Nuclear Programs.

From the Report​

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran. The same day, President Donald Trump listed among the operation’s objectives preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, destroying Iran’s missiles, and “[razing] their missile industry to the ground.” Some Members of Congress have questioned the U.S. military operations in Iran given President Trump’s previous assertion that, as a result of the June 2025 U.S.-Israeli strikes, “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.” Other Members have supported the President’s action, citing Iran’s post-2025 efforts to reconstitute its nuclear program and its ballistic missile capabilities. Reports on the status of Iran’s missile and drone programs vary as of October 2026 amid continued, albeit reduced, military confrontation between the United States and Iran.
