Overview

  • Israel’s Operation Rising Lion continues to target key Iranian nuclear sites and military installations, including deep strikes on Natanz and facilities near Tehran and Mashhad.
  • Iran has launched more than 200 ballistic missiles in retaliation, deploying its new Haj Qassem missile that has penetrated multi-layered Israeli and US air defenses.
  • The United States has enhanced Israel’s capabilities by modifying F-35s for extended range, dispatching naval assets to the eastern Mediterranean and Arabian Sea, and its Tel Aviv embassy sustained minor damage from falling missile debris.
  • Both sides report heavy tolls: at least 13 civilians killed and hundreds wounded in Israel, and over 400 dead with more than 650 injured in Iran according to local and NGO figures.
  • Diplomatic channels remain active as President Trump warns Iran against striking American interests and the US and Russia explore mediation prospects for a ceasefire.
