On June 14, 2025, Israel and Iran engaged in a fierce exchange of missile attacks, escalating tensions in the Middle East. Explosions echoed through Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Tehran as both nations launched unprecedented airstrikes against each other.
Operation Rising Lion
Israel initiated its largest offensive ever, named ‘Operation Rising Lion’. The operation aims to:
- Cripple Iran’s nuclear program

Israeli officials issued strong warnings to Tehran, signaling that further strikes are expected.
Iranian Retaliation

- Pakistan calling on Muslim countries to unite against what it described as ‘Israeli aggression’.
- Lebanon choosing to keep its airspace open despite the escalating conflict nearby.
