Israel's Operation Rising Lion Targets Iran's Nuclear Capabilities
In June 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a military campaign targeting Iran's nuclear program and military infrastructure. Israeli forces conducted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, resulting in the deaths of three senior Iranian military leaders. Iran responded by launching over 100 drones toward Israel and conducting missile attacks that caused damage and injuries in Israeli residential areas.
Israel claimed control over Tehran's airspace and warned of further action if Iran continued missile attacks. Iranian authorities warned of a stronger response to ongoing Israeli strikes. The exchanges have led to heightened tensions and casualties on both sides, drawing international attention to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
