Israel notified Washington before Iran strike, state Israeli broadcaster says
- On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a large-scale military strike targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, command centers, and leadership across multiple sites.
- This attack followed a sustained campaign to weaken Iran’s defenses, including a crippling October 2024 strike on its air defense infrastructure and months of covert sabotage, with full coordination but no direct U.S. military involvement.
- Israeli officials claimed the strikes eliminated several high-ranking Iranian figures and were aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon amid ongoing diplomatic efforts led by the Trump administration.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted that Israel independently carried out operations against Iran, stressing that the U.S. was not involved and that safeguarding American personnel in the region remains the highest priority.
- The attack intensified regional tensions, prompted President Trump to convene a National Security Council meeting, and underscored U.S. commitment to defend itself and Israel while continuing diplomatic negotiations with Tehran.
