Israel's Attack On Iran Stuns Military But Could Empower Tehran's Nuclear Drive
- On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, striking Iranian nuclear and military facilities across Iran, including Natanz and Tehran.
- The attack resulted from a long-standing strategic impasse fueled by Iran's nuclear advancements and regional interventions, with diplomacy failing to halt progress.
- The operation targeted key nuclear sites, missile production facilities, and top Iranian military commanders, reportedly killing IRGC leader Hossein Salami and several scientists.
- Iran responded by launching over 100 drones and more than 200 ballistic missiles at Israel, most of which were intercepted amid a declared state of emergency.
- The strikes may cripple Iran’s immediate military response but could also strengthen Tehran’s resolve to pursue nuclear weapons, while regional powers and nuclear talks face heightened uncertainty.
