Israel Strikes Multiple Iranian Nuclear Sites in Coordinated Airstrike

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Am Kalavi, a surprise airstrike targeting Iran's nuclear program and missile launch systems, using advanced fighter jets including the F-35I, F-15, and F-16. The Israeli Defense Forces justified the strikes as preventive measures against Iran's ongoing efforts to develop nuclear weapons and long-range missiles aimed at Israel, highlighting Iran's coordination with groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel's Mossad also played a key role, reportedly conducting covert drone strikes from a secret base inside Iran, which significantly damaged Tehran's missile sites and nuclear facilities. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed the success of the operation and emphasized Israel's commitment to preventing Iran from threatening the free world. In response, Iran retaliated with drone attacks on Israel, escalating regional tensions, while Israel relies on its sophisticated air defense systems, including Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow, to protect its population from incoming threats. President Trump is expected to discuss the situation with Netanyahu, following Iran's withdrawal from upcoming nuclear negotiations with the U.S.
