Full-Blown Iran–Israel War (June 2025) #israel #sbo #buymote
Escalation to Open War: June 12–13, 2025
On June 13, Israel launched Operation “Rising Lion” (AKA “Am KeLavi”), deploying over 200 fighter jets across more than 1,500 km—including Iraqi and Syrian airspace—to strike 100+ targets in Iran’s Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces. This operation targeted Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, missile launch sites, and senior IRGC and nuclear scientists
- The Israeli operation included covert Israeli intelligence actions—Mossad and special forces reportedly built a clandestine drone base inside Iran, enabling preemptive strikes on missile launchers and disabling much of Iran’s immediate retaliation capability.
🎯 Targeting Iran’s Strategic Capability
-
Nuclear Program Impact: Israel struck Natanz, Fordow, and the Isfahan enrichment facilities, along with centrifuge manufacturing centers and power transformers. Analysts estimated no major radiation leak, but structural damage was widespread.
-
Missile Program Neutralized: Around 65% of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers and 800–1,000 missiles were destroyed or seized pre-launch, reducing Iran’s missile inventory by more than half and crippling its launch capacity in western Iran
Decapitation Campaign: Senior figures including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, General Mohammad Bagheri, nuclear scientist Fereydoon Abbasi, and other top officials were killed in coordinated strikes.
🛡️ Iranian Response: Missiles, Drones & Hybrid Fronts
-
Iranian Retaliation: Iran launched hundreds of drones and dozens of ballistic missiles toward Israel—including complex hypersonic systems like Kheibar Shekan and Ghadr—reaching several cities such as Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ashdod, and Beersheba. While most were intercepted, some slipped through, causing property damage, power outages, and injuries in northern and southern Israel
Civilians Hit: A Sejjil missile struck Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, injuring dozens and causing a chemical leak—prompting evacuation and condemnation of the incident as a potential war crime Institute for the Study of War.
Proxy Escalation: Hezbollah in Lebanon launched rockets into northern Israel; Iranian militias in Syria and Iraq attacked U.S. bases, drawing U.S. airstrikes. The Houthis in Yemen targeted Gulf shipping and Israeli ports—intensifying the multi-front nature of the war
