#IsraelIranConflict $BTC Tensions Escalate Following Major Israeli Airstrikes

The longstanding conflict between Israel and Iran has sharply intensified following a series of Israeli airstrikes on June 13, 2025. Here's a detailed overview of the current situation:

Background

Tensions between Israel and Iran have simmered for years. Iran has consistently supported militant groups hostile to Israel and has pledged to eliminate the Jewish state. In turn, Israel sees Iran as a grave existential threat, particularly due to its nuclear ambitions, and has committed to preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Recent Escalation

Operation Rising Lion (June 13, 2025):

Israel launched a large-scale air operation targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities. The operation reportedly struck uranium enrichment sites and military infrastructure. Unconfirmed reports suggest at least six Iranian nuclear scientists were killed, and significant damage was inflicted on Iran’s nuclear program.
