00:00On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a large-scale military operation against Iran,
00:06codenamed Operation Rising Lion. The pre-dawn airstrikes targeted over 100 sites,
00:12including Iran's Natanz nuclear facility, missile bases in Kandab, Karamabad, and Tabriz,
00:19and key military leadership. The operation involved more than 200 Israeli fighter jets
00:25and was coordinated with Mossad, which reportedly established a covert drone base near Tehran to
00:30disable Iranian air defenses and strike missile launchers. Among the high-profile casualties were
00:36Major General Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC,
00:43Major General Mohamed Bagheri, Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces, and six nuclear scientists,
00:49including Faridun Abassi and Mohamed Mahdi Taranchi. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed
00:56no radiation leaks at the Natanz facility. In retaliation, Iran launched over 100 drones toward
01:03Israel, though most were intercepted. Israel activated nationwide sirens in anticipation
01:08of missile and drone attacks, and the government declared a state of emergency. Israeli Prime Minister
01:15Benjamin Netanyahu justified the strikes as a necessary preemptive measure to prevent Iran
01:20from developing nuclear weapons, citing Tehran's accumulation of enriched uranium and recent efforts
01:26to weaponize it. The operation complicates ongoing U.S.-led diplomatic talks with Iran and has drawn
01:32international calls for de-escalation.
