#IsraelIranConflict
The Israel–Iran conflict has escalated dramatically in 2025, evolving from a longstanding proxy struggle into a direct military confrontation. This intensification has profound implications for regional stability and global security.
🔥 Timeline of Escalation
April 2024: Israel conducted an airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, killing 16 individuals, including senior IRGC commanders. In retaliation, Iran launched a massive missile and drone attack on Israeli military sites, marking the first direct assault from Iran on Israel territory.
June 2025: Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion," targeting over 100 sites across Iran, including nuclear facilities and military installations. The strikes resulted in significant casualties, including the deaths of several top Iranian military leaders.
The international community has expressed deep concern over the escalating violence. World leaders have called for restraint, fearing the conflict could spiral into a broader regional war. Diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions have so far been unsuccessful.
