Sharp confrontation between Israel and Iran: a nuclear attack and new threats (video)

The situation in the Middle East has become even more tense: Israel carried out a major military operation of historic significance on the night of June 13. According to the well-known CNN news agency, this operation was marked as one of the most serious and significant strikes in Israeli history. The goal of the operation was to destroy the main facilities of the Iranian nuclear program and high-ranking military commanders.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly stated that this "Rising Lion" operation was aimed at Iran's largest uranium enrichment center - the Natanz nuclear complex and its leading scientists. As a result of the strike, large fires broke out in infrastructure facilities and residential buildings in the capital Tehran, causing panic in the city.

Most interestingly, Iranian state media reported for the first time that high-ranking military leaders in the country - including the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Hossein Salami - were killed. This is a huge loss for the country's defense system, and anger and fear are growing among the Iranian public.

According to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, this decisive step was assessed as "the only opportunity to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons." If this opportunity is missed, Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons could have irreversible consequences for Israel's security and the stability of the entire region.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a separate statement, categorically emphasized that American troops and military personnel were not involved in this operation. "Israel acted unilaterally this time. The main task of the United States is to protect its troops deployed in the region and prevent escalation," he said.

Currently, the Israeli Defense Forces are recruiting tens of thousands of new soldiers, a state of emergency has been declared in the country, and the airspace has been closed. All security services and military commands have been put on high alert.

Analysts believe that Iran is likely to retaliate for this attack. The country's authorities are calling on the population to be vigilant, and the atmosphere of new conflicts and uncertainty in the region is only intensifying.

Nuclear threats and military escalation are the new reality of today's Middle East. The consequences of a clash between the two superpowers could have a negative impact not only on regional but also global security. Therefore, all attention is now focused on what steps Iran will take and the reaction of the world community.

Without a doubt, these events will radically change the global geopolitical balance.
