Narrative Description

On Friday 13th, 2025 Israel launched 15 airstrikes on Iran city Tehran. Israel confirms they struck the Natanz Nuclear Facility in Iran. Israel started targeting Radar bases.

Then Iranian Media stated that officials would declare war shortly and the retaliation would begin within hours.

Netanyahu called the operation “Rising Lion”:

“This Operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove Israel threats.”

Tensions between Israel and Iran have exploded into open warfare overnight, following a series of coordinated airstrikes and missile attacks that have left multiple cities across both countries under fire.

Just after midnight local time, Israeli jets launched a major assault on key Iranian military and nuclear sites, including a confirmed strike on the Isfahan nuclear facility. Heavy airstrikes were reported across Tehran, with several explosions visible from the capital’s outskirts.

By June 14, 2025, the second day, the Iranian leadership initiated Operation True Promise 3, a military campaign now described as the largest confrontation between the two countries in decades.

Iran retaliated by launching over 100 drones, followed by multiple waves of ballistic missiles aimed at Israeli cities. Explosions have been reported in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem Hills, Tiberias, and Be’er Sheva. Sirens reportedly failed to activate in many regions, while the Red Alert warning app crashed due to high traffic. Significant power outages are affecting large parts of Israel.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah says:

“Israel revealed its evil nature more than ever by striking residential areas.”

Ayatollah Khamenei also warns that the Israel regime must expect ‘severe punishment’.

Iranian media claims to have shot down an Israeli F-35I stealth fighter using an aging F-14 Tomcat — though no independent confirmation has yet been provided. Iran also claims to have captured an Israeli pilot, reportedly a woman, after downing two jets.

In one of the most alarming developments, Iran targeted Israel’s Dimona nuclear research center and the Ministry of Defense headquarters in Tel Aviv, which may have suffered a direct hit. Iranian defense officials claim elements of Israel’s Iron Dome system were destroyed.

In a statement, Iran’s Foreign Minister warned, “No one should call us and ask for restraint.” Iranian military leadership has announced that a third wave of missile launches is underway, with a reported 1,800 missiles prepared for the next strike.

Israel has begun its retaliatory phase, with new strikes launched against Iranian infrastructure. Threats have also been issued against Iran’s oil and gas facilities if attacks continue.

Casualty numbers are not yet confirmed, but sources expect significant civilian and military losses on both sides. International observers warn that the situation risks escalating beyond a bilateral conflict, potentially destabilizing the broader Middle East.

Israel has officially begun retaliatory strikes following intense missile and drone barrages launched by Iran under Operation True Promise 3. Sirens blared again across Tel Aviv and multiple regions as Iran’s third wave of ballistic missiles struck Tel Aviv, Jerusalem Hills, Tiberias, Haifa, and Be’er Sheva.

Fox News reporters covering the region call this the most severe attack on Israel in years.

By the Third Day Sunday 15th June 2025, Iran warns the next missile wave could include up to 1,800 projectiles. The Iranian military confirmed strikes on the Israeli Ministry of Defense headquarters and multiple energy and military facilities.

Israel has formally requested U.S. military support, with Washington currently reviewing options amid rising regional tensions. Iran claims to have destroyed Israeli fighter jet fuel production and intercepted several Israeli drones and missiles during ongoing counterattacks.

Global observers note the conflict risks expanding into a broader proxy war, with China reportedly increasing support for Iran and Pakistan expressing solidarity with Tehran.

Recent missile impacts have caused structural damage and power outages in Haifa and eastern Tel Aviv, with civilian casualties expected. Israel’s Gaza front has been downgraded as Iran becomes the primary war front.

Both sides remain on high alert as the conflict enters a new, highly volatile phase.
