This was expected because Iran was being very defiant, all war is regrettable, we want a world in peace

In the early hours of June 13, 2025, the world awoke to the news of a large-scale military operation: "Operation Rising Lion." In a bold and strategic move, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out massive attacks against key targets in Iran, marking a turning point in the tense geopolitical dynamics of the Middle East. Strategic Objectives: Dismantling a Nuclear and Military Threat, the attacks, described by Israel as "preventive" and "precise," primarily focused on dismantling the Iranian nuclear program and its most dangerous military capabilities. Among the targets reached are: Key Nuclear Facilities: The Natanz and Fordow enrichment plants suffered significant damage. The destruction of the above-ground section of Natanz was reported, including electrical infrastructure and emergency generators, as well as damage to its underground component. The Isfahan plant, crucial for the production of metallic uranium, was also attacked. These strikes aim to prevent Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons. Strategic Military Leadership: The operation resulted in the "elimination" of high-profile Iranian military figures, including the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, General Mohammad Bagheri; the Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Guard, General Hossein Salami; and the head of the Guard's ballistic missile program, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh. These deaths represent a severe blow to the chain of command and the operational capability of the Iranian regime. Key Nuclear Scientists: Iranian sources confirmed the death of at least six nuclear scientists, which could further slow the progress of Tehran's atomic program. With the involvement of over 200 Israeli fighter jets and sabotage missions coordinated by Mossad, the magnitude and precision of the operation underscore Israel's determination to neutralize what it perceives as an existential threat to its security.
