Israeli attack on Tehran On the morning of June 13, 2025, Israel launched a large-scale attack on Iran, targeting several military and nuclear facilities, including Tehran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dubbed the operation "Rising Line" and said it was launched to destroy Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missile system, which is a threat to Israel's existence. He claimed that Iran is capable of producing 9 to 15 nuclear bombs, and if left unchecked, could produce one within months or a year. Key targets and casualties The Israeli military claimed to have killed the nuclear facilities in Natanz, Khandab, and Khorramabad, as well as the commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, General Hossein Salami, the head of the military, Mohammad Bagheri, and several senior nuclear scientists. Iranian media confirmed Salami's death. The attacks caused powerful explosions in the eastern, western, and central areas of Tehran, and destroyed key uranium enrichment facilities in Natanz. Emergency in Israel Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warns Iran of retaliatory missile and drone attacks A state of emergency was declared in response to the threat. Israel closed its airspace, and Netanyahu called an emergency meeting of the security cabinet. Israeli military spokeswoman Effie Deffern said it was a "premeditated and precise strike" aimed at disrupting Iran's ability to build nuclear weapons. US response US Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that the US was not involved in the attack, but Israel called it necessary for its sovereignty. President Donald Trump, who is in nuclear talks with Iran, supported the strike. Iran has refused to halt uranium enrichment in the talks, which has increased tensions in the region. Regional implications Iraq closed its airspace, and flights to Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport were suspended. Iran has warned that it will carry out a "devastating" retaliatory strike on Israel and US bases in the region. Experts say the attack could spark a major regional conflict in the Middle East. Conclusion: This Israeli attack is an attempt to stop Iran's nuclear program, but it could lead to war in the region. The risks have increased. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, while both Israel and Iran are prepared for possible retaliation.
