US EditionEscalating Tensions: Iran and Israel Trade Blows Amid Intensifying Conflict
TEHRAN PROVINCE, IRAN, JUN 17 – Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warns Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei of serious consequences amid escalating missile and drone attacks, with at least 24 Israeli deaths reported.
- Iran and Israel engaged in a series of aerial attacks and missile exchanges by June 30, 2025, escalating regional hostilities primarily centered around Tehran and Gaza.
- This conflict followed rising diplomatic friction, Israel's Operation Rising Lion to curb Iran's nuclear program, and Khamenei’s firm refusal to compromise with Israel.
- Khamenei declared, "We will never compromise with the Zionists," while Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned military operations targeting Tehran would continue and urged civilians to evacuate the capital.
- Netanyahu asserted eliminating Khamenei would end the conflict without escalating it, and the United Nations called for an immediate ceasefire grounded in shared humanity and respect for international law.
- The ongoing exchanges risk destabilizing the Middle East further, demanding urgent international action to enforce ceasefires and ensure accountability for breaches of sovereignty and humanitarian law.
