Israel Launches Major Preemptive Strike on Iran, Killing Top Commanders
On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a large-scale preemptive strike targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, missile factories, and key military command centers. The attack reportedly killed at least 78 people, including top Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders and nuclear scientists. Iran responded with a wave of over 100 drones, most of which were intercepted by Israeli defenses. The operation has drawn a wide range of global reactions: the U.S. distanced itself while urging restraint, Russia condemned the strikes, and oil prices surged as fears of a broader Middle East conflict grew. As Iran appeals to the UN and contemplates its next steps, the region braces for possible further escalation.
