#IsraelIranConflict On June 12, 2025, Israel launched a large-scale air campaign called "Operation Rising Lion," targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities and military sites. The strikes resulted in the deaths of several senior Iranian figures, including a top Revolutionary Guard commander and key nuclear scientists. Among the major sites hit was the Natanz nuclear facility.

In response, Iran fired around 100 drones toward Israeli territory. Most were intercepted by Israeli air defenses, with some also blocked by Jordanian forces. The region has since shut its airspace to civilian flights, and global markets are reacting to the growing instability.

International concern is mounting, with urgent calls for de-escalation.
