Israel coordinated a series of airstrikes and covert operations (with support from Mossad), hitting over 100 targets in Iran, including nuclear facilities (Natanz, Fordow), military bases, and residences of IRGC leaders. High-profile figures such as Generals Hossein Salami, Mohammad Bagheri, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, and nuclear scientists were killed.
The operation was described by Israel as an essential preventive action to halt Iranian progress towards a nuclear bomb.

🇮🇷 Iranian retaliation: "Operation True Promise III" (June 13–14, 2025)
In response, Iran launched more than 150 ballistic missiles and over 100 drones against Israel.
Most were intercepted by Israeli air defenses and allied systems (USA, Jordan), but some missiles reached Tel Aviv, causing injuries and damage to buildings.
It is estimated that around 22 to 78 injuries occurred in Israel; one person died after the Iranian attacks.

📍 Current situation and repercussions
The two countries are clearly in a state of open conflict, with a real risk of regional escalation involving Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen (via Houthi), and possibly US forces in the Middle East.
Oil and gold prices skyrocketed, flight controllers were activated, and emergency meetings were held at the UN Security Council.
The USA expressed concern, evacuated some military personnel in Iraq, and stated that there will be a strengthening of regional defenses.
Global leaders call for restraint, but the delicate balance remains unstable.

🛡️ What comes next?
1. Israel remains mobilized and alert for possible additional rounds of Operation Rising Lion.
2. Iran signaled that it is willing to escalate attacks, including against US interests.
3. The risk of confusion involving regional forces (Hezbollah, Houthis) and major powers (USA, Russia) is high.
4. The future of nuclear negotiations between the USA and Iran is compromised as Iran intensifies its uranium enrichment.
