5 Takeaways on Israel’s Unprecedented Strikes on Iran

IRAN, JUN 13 – Israel's strikes killed three top Iranian military leaders and several nuclear scientists, prompting Iran to launch 100 drones in retaliation, escalating regional tensions, officials said.

  • On July 4 and 5, 2025, Israel conducted a series of massive airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, including assassinations of top generals, amid ongoing Israel-Iran hostilities.
  • These strikes followed mounting tensions since June 13, 2025, with Iran retaliating using missiles and drones, and the cancellation of planned U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Oman after the attacks.
  • The Israeli operation, called Rising Lion, involved hundreds of strikes and reportedly killed more than 20 senior Iranian commanders, while Iranian missile attacks on Israel caused civilian casualties and wounded soldiers.
  • International figures including U.N. Secretary-General Guterres and Pope Leo XIV urged restraint and diplomacy, while regional leaders warned the conflict could escalate into wider chaos.
  • The attacks severely damaged Iran's nuclear facilities and command structure but prompted Iran's leadership to vow a ‘‘bitter, painful’’ response, signaling a likely prolonged conflict with uncertain diplomatic resolution.
