Iran Supreme Leader’s Rep. Calls for Destruction of Israel
- On June 13, 2025, Israel initiated Operation Rising Lion, conducting extensive airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear facilities, including the Natanz enrichment site and several other locations throughout Iran.
- The operation followed weeks of heightened tensions and was justified as preemptive against Iran's advancing nuclear weapons program amid ongoing US-Iran nuclear talks.
- Israeli airstrikes assassinated multiple senior Iranian military commanders and at least two nuclear scientists, while Iran retaliated by launching over 100 drones at Israel, triggering emergency measures across Israel.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue the operation “for as many days as it takes” to stop Iran’s nuclear threat, while Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei warned Israel it will face severe and bitter punishment.
- The escalation prompted condemnation from UN Secretary-General Guterres and US officials, who confirmed no US involvement in the strikes but expressed concerns about regional stability and ongoing negotiations.
