Israel Strikes Iran: What We Know
- On Friday, June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, striking over 100 nuclear and military sites across Iran, including killing top commanders and scientists.
- The operation followed the expiration of a 60-day deadline for Iran to secure a diplomatic agreement on its nuclear program and came despite U.S. officials denying any involvement.
- Iran responded by launching around 100 drones at Israel, most of which the Israeli military said were intercepted outside its territory, while Iran imposed internet restrictions amid civil unrest.
- Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz called the strikes 'preemptive' and warned of imminent missile and drone attacks against Israeli civilians, while Iran labeled the attacks a 'declaration of war.'
- The strikes escalated tensions with a declared state of emergency in Israel, disrupted regional airspace and travel, and cast doubt on upcoming U.S.-Iran talks planned in Oman.
