#IsraelIranConflict The conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated significantly, moving beyond a long-standing proxy struggle to direct military confrontation. On June 13, 2025, Israel launched "preemptive strikes" against Iranian nuclear and military sites, citing Iran's advancing nuclear program and its threat to Israel's existence. These strikes reportedly hit targets in Tehran, killing senior Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists.
In response, Iran has launched over 100 drones towards Israel, which the IDF is working to intercept. This exchange follows earlier tit-for-tat actions, including Iranian missile attacks on Israel in April and October 2024. The escalating conflict has heightened fears of a wider regional war, with international bodies and nations calling for restraint.
