On the night of June 13, the IDF launched a large-scale operation dubbed Rising Lion, with Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian military positions and nuclear program facilities.

Nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, as well as military installations in northwestern Iran, were among the targets.
In retaliation, Iran launched True Promise 3, targeting Israeli military facilities.
Both Israeli and Iranian media report dozens of fatalities and hundreds injured on both sides.
Russia condemned the IDF’s attacks, calling them categorically unacceptable.
