On June 13, Israel initiated “Operation Rising Lion,” striking over 100 Iranian nuclear and military targets—including Natanz and Tehran installations—and killing top IRGC commanders such as Hossein Salami, Mohammad Bagheri, and key nuclear scientists. Iran retaliated with a massive barrage—over 150 ballistic missiles and 100 drones—in “Operation True Promise III,” hitting Israeli cities, injuring civilians, and triggering widespread air‑raid alerts. The U.S. acknowledged being informed, deployed defense assets, and distanced itself from direct involvement. The surge in hostilities has drawn global concern amid fears of broader escalation.
