#IsraelIranConflict On June 13, 2025, Israel launched "preemptive" airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, including the Natanz nuclear facility. This operation, dubbed "Rising Lion," reportedly killed several top Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists.

Iran has vowed a "strong" and "severe" response, with its Supreme Leader warning of a "bitter and painful" fate for Israel. This escalation follows months of heightened tensions, including previous direct exchanges in April and October 2024, and is linked to the ongoing Gaza war and concerns over Iran's nuclear program. The international community, including the EU and UN, has urged restraint to prevent further regional destabilization
