On June 13, 2025, Iran retaliated with a large-scale strike—launching over 100 drones followed by dozens of ballistic missiles—in response to Israel’s “Operation Rising Lion,” which targeted Iranian nuclear sites (including Natanz) and killed senior IRGC officials and nuclear scientists . Israel’s Iron Dome and U.S.-aided defenses intercepted the bulk of the assault, though several missiles and drones penetrated, striking regions such as Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, injuring civilians and damaging property . Both nations now operate under high alert as global leaders call for urgent de-escalation amid fears of expanded conflict.
