Why Israel Attacked Iran with Large-Scale Strikes on June 13
- On the early morning of June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion using over 200 fighter jets to strike Iran's nuclear sites and military targets across Iran.
- Israel carried out these strikes due to Iran's advancing nuclear program, which included enough uranium to produce up to fifteen bombs and orders from Ayatollah Khamenei to accelerate weaponization.
- The operation involved precision missile strikes by Mossad and attacks on Iran's Natanz facility, killing senior military leaders and scientists, while Iran responded with over 100 drones toward Israel that were intercepted.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that the mission would persist for however long necessary to eliminate the threat, while US Secretary of State Rubio confirmed that the United States did not participate in the strikes.
- Israel declared a nationwide state of emergency expecting retaliation, and Netanyahu engaged world leaders for diplomatic support amid ongoing domestic political challenges.
