Israel’s Attack on Iran: What We Know So Far

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched sweeping airstrikes dubbed “Operation Rising Lion,” targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, missile factories, military leaders, and nuclear scientists, killing over 20 commanders and 6+ scientists, with civilian casualties reported.

Iran retaliated with drone attacks that were mostly intercepted, pledging harsh response.

The operation closed regional airspace, raised global oil prices, and triggered universal calls—from the UN, US, and regional powers—for urgent de‑escalation and renewed diplomacy amid fears of wider conflict.
