Title: Escalation in the Middle East: Israel vs Iran Conflict
Subheading: A Summary of the 2025 Israel-Iran Confrontation
Israel launched a military operation, "Operation Rising Lion," on June 13, 2025, targeting Iran's nuclear facilities and military infrastructure. The operation, involving airstrikes, sabotage, drones, and commandos, aimed to disable Iran's air defenses.
The conflict intensified on June 14, 2025, as Israel expanded its airstrikes to include targets in Iran's energy sector. In response, Iran continued to launch missile and drone attacks against Israel. The escalation continued for a third day on June 15, 2025, with Iranian missiles evading Israeli defenses.
The conflict between Israel and Iran has a long history of tension, driven by Israel's concerns about Iran's nuclear program and perceived threats from Iran and its allies like Hezbollah. The escalation in 2025 was marked by Israel's targeted strikes on Iran's military and nuclear sites, followed by Iranian retaliations.
The regional impact of the conflict could lead to wider instability, although some key Tehran allies are staying neutral. The global response to the conflict led to the cancellation of planned talks on Iran's nuclear program, highlighting the difficulty in finding diplomatic solutions. The supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, has vowed severe retaliation, suggesting that hostilities could continue or even escalate further.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports the main underground centrifuge facility was not affected by the attack, but a power outage could have damaged the infrastructure.
