AFP At dawn on June 13, 2025, Israel launched a sweeping military campaign against Iran, striking key nuclear and military sites in a bold escalation of long-standing hostilities. Dubbed Operation Rising Lion, the strikes focused on crippling Iran's nuclear infrastructure, including a direct hit on the Natanz uranium enrichment facility near Tehran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the operation as a critical preemptive step, warning that Iran was "nearing the point of no return" in its nuclear weapons development.
