Israel launches major strikes on Iran's nuclear and military sites, Iran retaliates with missile attacks

On June 13, 2025, Israel conducted air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and missile production sites, killing top military commanders and nuclear scientists. Iran responded with a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting Israel, marking the beginning of a significant regional conflict.

Israel launched air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and missile production sites, according to multiple sources including The Korea Herald, Al Jazeera, and The Hindu. The strikes reportedly killed Iran's top military commanders and nuclear scientists, as reported by CBC, The Hindu, The Guardian, and The Washington Post. The United States provided Israel with hundreds of Hellfire missiles before the attack, as revealed by Middle East Eye. Iran retaliated with a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting Israel, as reported by Al Jazeera, The Washington Post, and The Guardian. The conflict disrupted Middle East energy supplies, causing oil prices to rise, according to The Straits Times. Some sources indicate that Iran appears to have blocked a second round of retaliatory attacks, as noted by The Jakarta Post. Divergences exist in the number of targets and casualties, with some sources reporting strikes on three nuclear sites while others mention multiple locations including missile factories.
