Israel’s Attack on Iran
On the night of June 13, the Israel Defense Forces launched an air operation against Iran’s nuclear program, striking dozens of targets including uranium enrichment facilities and military bases.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that the operation’s goal is “to strike Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, its ballistic missile production plants, and military capabilities,” adding that the operation will continue until the mission is fully accomplished.
As a result of these strikes, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Salami, and the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Mohammad Bagheri, were killed, according to the Iranian state news agency.
Following the attack, several countries closed their airspace. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expressed concern about the strikes on nuclear facilities, while Iran assured that no serious damage was sustained.
In response, Iran launched over 100 drones toward Israel, and on June 13 and 14, Israel carried out new airstrikes on key Iranian defense installations.
At an emergency UN Security Council meeting on June 13, Iran officially accused the United States of involvement in Israel’s strikes on Iranian territory. Washington denied these accusations and called on Tehran to negotiate over the nuclear program.
