As of January 10, 2026, there is no verified information indicating that Iran has launched an attack on Israel on this date. The most recent major escalation occurred in June 2025, when Iran conducted a large-scale drone and missile strike against Israel following an Israeli attack on Iranian military and nuclear sites.7 That attack was widely reported as a retaliatory response to Israel’s “Operation Rising Lion,” which targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, military commanders, and research scientists.7 Iran’s strike was described as a performative action—telegraphed in advance to limit damage and avoid escalation—aimed at demonstrating resolve to domestic and regional audiences without provoking a full-scale war.3

The June 2025 conflict was preceded by a series of developments, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) declaring Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations due to rapid uranium enrichment to near weapons-grade levels.5 Israel claimed the strikes were preemptive, aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and disrupting diplomatic efforts toward a new nuclear deal between Iran and the United States.59 Analysts have also suggested that Israel’s attack may have been intended to shift international attention away from the ongoing conflict in Gaza and to rally global support.8

Since the June 2025 conflict, both nations have been preparing for a potential resumption of hostilities under a fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire.10 Iran has publicly vowed to rebuild its missile capabilities, with plans to produce up to 2,000 missiles in a single barrage to overwhelm Israeli defenses, though experts question the feasibility of such a plan given Iran’s degraded infrastructure and reliance on foreign suppliers.10 Israel has warned it will resume strikes if Iran attempts to reconstitute its nuclear or long-range missile programs.10

Currently, no new attack by Iran on Israel has been confirmed as of January 10, 2026. The situation remains tense, with both sides engaged in military buildup and strategic posturing, but no direct hostilities have been reported on this date.
