Press Release
Israeli Military Completes First Stage of Strikes on Iranian Military Targets
Date: June 13, 2025
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have announced the completion of the initial phase of airstrikes targeting Iran’s military capabilities, including critical nuclear sites. This operation involved numerous Air Force aircraft executing precise strikes on facilities in various regions of Iran, including the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility.
The IDF stated that these actions were carried out to mitigate the threat posed by Iran’s weapons of mass destruction, asserting that such capabilities in the hands of the Iranian regime endanger not only Israel but the broader international community. Military officials emphasized that civilian resilience would be a crucial aspect of their ongoing campaign.
Images broadcasted by Iranian state media showed smoke billowing from key nuclear sites, with reports indicating significant damage, including the destruction of military installations and residential areas in urban settings like Tehran. Among the reported casualties, Iranian state television named several senior military officials, including the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, raising heightened tensions in the region.
US President Donald Trump has expressed concerns over the potential for escalated conflict in the Middle East as a result of these strikes. While Israel maintains that its operations were undertaken independently, some US lawmakers, including Senate Armed Services Committee member Jack Reed, have condemned the strikes as reckless.
In response to the strikes, Iranian state media has indicated that the nation will retaliate while the atmosphere in Tehran remained tense, with emergency services responding to the aftermath of the strikes. As the situation unfolds, international observers are closely monitoring potential implications for regional stability and security.
This operation reflects Israel’s continued commitment to preemptive action against perceived threats, as well as the complexities of diplomatic relations surrounding Iran’s nuclear program.
