#IsraelIranConflict The situation in Israel today (June 13, 2025) is extremely tense, especially with Israel launching preemptive strikes against Iran. This is the most prominent event and poses a risk of escalating the conflict across the region.

Below is a summary of the situation in 154 words:

Today, on June 13, 2025, Israel has carried out a large-scale airstrike operation named "Lion's Awakening" targeting deep inside Iranian territory, including nuclear and military facilities. Large explosions have been reported in Tehran and several other cities. Iranian media confirm that several high-ranking officials, including the Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and nuclear scientists have been killed. The Natanz nuclear facility has been significantly damaged.

Israel claims this is a preemptive strike to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and has successfully intercepted over 100 UAVs in Iran's initial retaliatory response. Iran has called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council and declared its right to respond strongly, even raising a "blood flag of revenge." The U.S. denies direct involvement but was aware of the operation in advance. World leaders are calling for restraint, fearing the conflict will spread throughout the Middle East. Israel has declared a special state of emergency and closed its airspace.
