#IsraelIranConflict Update: June 13, 2025 (01:16 PM IST) Tensions escalate as Israel launched widespread airstrikes on Iran today, targeting nuclear facilities, missile production sites, and military leaders. Reports confirm the death of Iran’s IRGC Commander Hossein Salami and top nuclear scientists, with Tehran vowing a "painful" retaliation. Explosions rocked Tehran early Friday, with rescuers responding to damaged buildings. Israeli PM Netanyahu described the operation as a prolonged effort to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, expecting it to last "many days."
Iran launched drones in response, raising fears of a broader Middle East war. The U.S. has disclaimed involvement, though Iran accuses it of coordination, urging de-escalation. Global oil prices surged over 5% due to supply disruption concerns, while gold hit ₹100,300 on MCX, reflecting safe-haven demand. Indian markets may open lower, with Nifty support at 24,750. Turkey and others condemned the strikes, calling for diplomacy. Stay tuned as the situation develops.
