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


In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Iran, targeting nuclear facilities and military leaders in what it has called Operation Rising Lion. The strikes, which took place early Friday, resulted in the deaths of several top Iranian military officials, including Hossein Salami, the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces.

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. 

Iran has vowed severe retaliation, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warning that Israel will face "severe punishment" for its actions. In response, Iran launched over 100 drones toward Israel, escalating fears of a broader conflict.

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