#IsraelIranConflict Tensions have dramatically escalated between Israel and Iran. On Friday, June 13, 2025, Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion," a major wave of airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, military sites, and reportedly assassinating top military leaders and nuclear scientists. Iran has declared these strikes a "declaration of war" and vowed "harsh punishment," launching over 100 drones towards Israel in retaliation. Israel has stated its operation will continue as long as necessary to neutralize the Iranian nuclear threat. The international community is urging de-escalation amidst fears of a wider regional conflict.
