On June 24, 2025, Israel attacked Iran's nuclear and military structures, prompting a response from Iran following U.S. involvement.
Main
On June 13, 2025, Israel targeted Iran's nuclear facilities (e.g., Natanz, Fordow), missile bases, and key military and political figures.
These attacks were prompted by intelligence reports indicating Iran is advancing its nuclear weapons program and the destabilization of Iran's regional groups (e.g., Hezbollah, Assad's government in Syria).
Israel aims to delay Iran's nuclear ambitions and weaken its military capabilities.
Experts say that without American assistance, there is no capacity to fully dismantle strongholds like Fordow.
The clashes have resulted in civilian casualties (over 220) and damage to infrastructure, including hospitals and media outlets, leading to accusations that Israel aims to destabilize the Iranian government.
U.S. Involvement On June 21, 2025, the U.S. struck three Iranian nuclear sites (Fordow, Isfahan, Natanz), marking the first attack on another country's nuclear program.
President Donald Trump's administration initially distanced itself from Israel's reciprocal attacks but later engaged to support Israel's security and contain Iran's nuclear threats. Iran responded on June 23 by attacking the U.S. Al-Udeid airbase with missiles but incurred no casualties.
A ceasefire was declared on June 23, but its stability remains uncertain. Iran's response and strategy indicate that it unleashed over 370 missiles and 100 drones, yet operations were limited due to the need to avoid further escalation of damaged infrastructure.

Escalation of Threats and Conflicts
Iran could disrupt global trade by targeting American bases or employing groups like Hezbollah.
Nuclear Proliferation - Iran's potential to produce nuclear weapons or withdraw from non-proliferation treaties could lead to regional arms races.
Global Impact
This conflict disrupts energy markets, raises concerns about oil route blockages, and damages international relations as China and Russia criticize American actions.
Instability of Ceasefire
Although a ceasefire has been declared, ongoing attacks and a lack of trust could lead to its collapse.
