Explosions as Israel launches strike on Iran

  • Israel launched large-scale strikes overnight on June 13, 2025, targeting multiple Iranian nuclear, military, and ballistic missile sites across several provinces.
  • The operation followed Iran's rejection on June 9 of a U.S. offer linking sanctions relief to cessation of enrichment and dismantlement verified by the IAEA.
  • The strikes resulted in confirmed harm to the nuclear facilities at Natanz and Fordow and reportedly led to the deaths of several high-ranking IRGC officials, causing Iran to shut its airspace and heighten its defensive measures.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called the attack a “targeted military operation” to stop an imminent nuclear threat, while Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei warned Israel to expect “severe punishment.”
  • The strikes intensified regional tensions, triggered U.S. military reinforcements, and suggest Tehran may retaliate across multiple fronts, escalating an open conflict cycle with no stabilizing mechanisms.
