On June 13th, according to reports from the Israeli Times: Israel has named its actions against Iran 'Strength of a Lion'. The Israeli Air Force is attacking dozens of targets within Iran related to nuclear programs and other military facilities.
An Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson stated that starting from Friday morning local time, only 'necessary activities' are allowed within Israel. This includes a ban on 'educational activities, gatherings, and workplaces, except for essential businesses'.
U.S. officials have stated that Israel has launched attacks on Iran, and the U.S. did not intervene or assist. This indicates that Israel is directly attacking its largest and best-armed adversary without explicit support from the U.S. President Trump publicly opposed Israel's attacks on Iranian nuclear sites on Thursday, stating that he still believes a nuclear agreement is possible.
It is reported that Israel has closed its airspace until further notice.
Due to the sharp escalation of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, U.S. and Brent crude oil prices have rapidly surged, with increases expanding to 4%, and spot gold has surpassed $3,410 per ounce, reaching a new high since May 8th.
