Timeline of Explosive Tensions Between Tel Aviv and Tehran
- On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a large-scale airstrike targeting numerous Iranian nuclear and military sites across Iran.
- This strike followed rising tensions marked by Iran's April 2024 missile and drone attack on Israel and earlier Israeli air assaults, including a deadly April 1 attack on Iran's embassy in Damascus.
- The June 2025 strikes damaged Iranian air defenses near Natanz, caused multiple explosions in Tehran, and prompted Iran to retaliate with missile launches against Israel, while Israel activated missile defense systems intercepting most incoming threats.
- Iranian media reported 78 deaths from Israeli strikes, including senior commanders, while Israeli military officials warned retaliation was likely and called on citizens to prepare; European nations responded with travel advisories and flight cancellations.
- The escalation has heightened fears of broader regional conflict, spurred calls for restraint by international leaders, and affected global markets due to disrupted air traffic and energy price volatility.
