Operation Rising Lion: Israel Strikes Iran’s Nuclear and Military Sites

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the operation aimed to roll back the Iranian threat and prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear capabilities. The attack reportedly involved 200 fighter jets and included strikes on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, a key site in its nuclear program.

As tensions continue to rise, the world watches closely to see how Iran will respond and whether diplomatic efforts can prevent further escalation.
