Israel-Iran 12-day war

Israel launched a preemptive strike campaign against Iranian nuclear facilities and senior IRGC commanders on 13 June 2025; Iran responded with the largest ballistic-missile barrages on Israeli territory in history. The United States joined the campaign by bombing Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan enrichment sites on 21 June. A 12-day ceasefire brokered by the US ended the open conflict on 24 June, leaving Iran's enrichment program degraded but not destroyed and the regional security architecture reshaped.
