Iran–Israel war

The **Iran–Israel war** (also known as the **Twelve-Day War**) began following the Israeli strikes against Iran on 13 June 2025 with an operation named Operation Rising Lion. This is the first time both countries went to a direct conflict since 2024 but on a massive scale. Iran responded by sending ballistic missiles against Israel (codenamed Operation True Promise III), mostly in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. As of 24 June, 610 were killed in Iran and 29 were killed in Israel.

This conflict happened when Israel is participating in the Gaza war, in which Iran supports the Palestinian movements and the organization Hamas. Iran has also been accusing Israel of killing Palestinian civilians (see Israeli war crimes in the Gaza war). Both sides once struck each other in April 2024 and another in October 2024 but escalated in 2025. Many Iranian generals and scientists worked for the nuclear program had been killed by Israeli strikes.
