The long-standing tensions between Israel and Iran escalated into open warfare on Friday, 13 June 2025, marking an unprecedented phase of direct military conflict. Israel launched a large-scale offensive involving fighter jets and drones, targeting key Iranian nuclear and military facilities. These included surface-to-surface missile production sites, radar installations, and surface-to-air missile launchers.
The strikes also hit residential areas and fuel depots, with Iran’s health ministry reporting at least 224 deaths and more than 1,200 injuries, most of them civilians. Israeli forces are also reported to have killed several senior Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), one-third of Iran’s surface-to-surface missile launchers have been destroyed, and Israel has established “full air superiority over Tehran.” An Iranian refuelling aircraft was also struck at a distance of 2,300 kilometres.
