Mission and Implementation of the Operation Rising Lion It was also stopped to progress the nuclear scheme in Iran which was the main aim of Operation Rising Lion. Israel army hit more than 100 locations: the Natanz nuclear site, uranium conversion plant in Isfahan, as well as the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant. The attacks also killed other significant military figures such as IRGC commander Hossein Salami and Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri . There were over 200 planes of Israeli Air Force launched in five waves of attacks in addition to the secret sabotage activities carried out by the Mossad in Iran. One was the smuggling of drone components into Iran and the assembly thereof some distance proximate to the military installations to incapacitate both missile launchers and air defense systems.

Iranain Response and Payback In response, Iran fired off a huge wave of counterstrike on June 13, 2025, using over 200 ballistic missiles and over 100 drones to attack Israeli cities, such as Tel Aviv and Bat Yam. The Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei insisted that their missile and drone attacks on Israel would not stop until the latter stopped its operations.

Humanitarian Crisis and Civilian Affected The Israeli raids have led to a serious humanitarian disaster. Much more than 100,000 citizens left Tehran, especially to northern provinces of Mazandaran and Gilan, in fear of additional bombardment. The Iranian government restricted access to the internet and even gave warnings to civilians encouraging them to be peaceful and not take an unauthorized rally opposite to authority.Northern provinces hospitals said they were seeing more stress-related admissions and humanitarian groups have installed mobile clinics to help displaced people.

Geopolitical Repercussions The international players have also entered the conflict and the United States and the European Union have raised their concern on the increased violence. U.S President Donald Trump stopped an Israeli proposal to assassinate Ali khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, because he had no American casualties as an excuse not to act. Turkey, Russia and Cyprus have volunteered to act as mediators as the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross urged the two parties to avoid harming civilians and practice restraint.

Regional Implications Other countries that border would be greatly affected by the conflict. The risk of a broad war in the Middle East emerges as Iran threatened with a severe retaliation should Israel maintain its attacks. Other countries such as India, which holds strategic interest in the region, are keenly observing the situation because of possible chaos in energy supply and trade corridors.

Conclusion June 2025 Israeli attacks on Iran are the milestone in the Middle East geopolitics. Although Israel is interested in limiting the nuclear quest of Iran, the consequences of the operation have cost many lives, displaced hordes of the civilian population and increased tension in the entire region. The international community is presented with the challenge of attempting to wade through these cloudiness so that a further escalation can be avoided by them and that somehow a means can be developed towards the maintenance of an end to the present turbulence and a path towards stability and peace.
