#IsraelIranConflict Israel–Iran conflict has escalated into a full-scale military confrontation, marking a significant shift from years of covert operations to open warfare.

On June 13, Israel launched “Operation Rising Lion,” a large-scale preemptive airstrike targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, missile production sites, and military leadership. Approximately 200 Israeli aircraft participated in the operation, resulting in the deaths of several high-ranking Iranian officials, including General Hossein Salami, military chief Mohammad Bagheri, and six nuclear scientists. The strike severely damaged Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment facility and the headquarters of the Revolutionary Guard.

In retaliation, Iran launched over 100 drones toward Israel, which were intercepted by Israeli and allied defense systems. Iran condemned the Israeli strikes as a “declaration of war” and appealed to the United Nations Security Council for intervention.

President Trump expressed support for Israel’s actions, warning Tehran to engage in negotiations or face further consequences. The international community has called for restraint, while regional tensions continue to rise, with fears of a broader Middle Eastern conflict.
