The Israel‑Iran war ignited on June 13 when Israel bombed multiple Iranian nuclear and military sites. Tehran responded with missile and drone strikes. Casualties include over 430 dead and 3,500 injured in Iran, and around 24 Israelis killed. On June 22, the US escalated by deploying B‑2 stealth bombers to Guam and striking three Iranian nuclear sites Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan using bunker‑busting bombs and Tomahawks. Iran decried this as a grave violation and called for an emergency UN Security Council meeting. Israel affirmed readiness for a prolonged campaign. The US warned Iran of “greater force” if it retaliates. Airspaces have closed, and regional tensions soar amid international calls for diplomacy.
