Israel has been poking at Iran for a while now. Ever since 2018 when Israel supposedly gathered ‘thousands of pages of data’ showing Iran covered up the true scale at which it was enriching uranium, the Jewish state has launched multiple air raids deep into Iranian territory.
July 2020 — A mysterious explosion tears apart a centrifuge production plant at Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment facility. Iran blames the attack on Israel.
November 2020 — A top Iranian military nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, is killed by a remote-controlled machine gun while traveling in a car outside Tehran. A top Iranian security official accuses Israel of using “electronic devices” to remotely kill the scientist, who founded Iran’s military nuclear program in the 2000s.
April 11, 2021 — An attack targets Iran’s underground nuclear facility in Natanz. Iran blames Israel, which does not claim responsibility, but Israeli media widely reports the government orchestrated a cyberattack that caused a blackout at the facility.

June 13, 2025 – Operation Rising Lion
Israel launched a significant military campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. The operation involved over 200 aircraft and resulted in the deaths of several senior Iranian officials, including IRGC commander Hossein Salami and Armed Forces Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri. Key nuclear sites such as Natanz and Fordow were damaged. Iran retaliated with missile strikes, causing casualties in Israel.
Iran Strikes back
We all remember Iran launching a ‘swam’ of drones and missiles back in October of 2024. These caused minimal damage and most were intercepted in the joint US-Israel defense effort. However, as many military experts warned, these were more likely testing the waters prior to a larger scale attack.
When Israel decided to strike the Natanz nuclear site a few days ago, Iran vowed to retaliate. Indeed they did. Footage of missiles slamming down into Tel Aviv city center were published across news agencies and with some Israeli citizens taking videos from their balconies on their phones.
Iran also further claimed to have shot down two Israeli jets. This seemed hard to believe at first, knowing that Israel has the F-35 Raptor that can carry out rapid stealth strikes and be gone long before they are even detected. Also, despite Iran’s S-400 system, they lack the Russian technical know how to operate the radar to it’s full potential.
Today, however, the confirmation came in that an Israeli female pilot was captured after she ejected over . Further news is coming in of a third jet downed as Israel continues renewed strikes and Iran prepares for another launch of missiles on Israeli targets.
It seems the warning about the ever drawing third world war don’t sound so crazy anymore. We know that the Ukraine conflict has been used as a proxy conflict against Russia in recent times, despite Russia being the aggressor. The trade wars on China and other nations by the US, the multiple attacks on Shi’ite militant targets by Israel in Lebanon, Syriah and Iran. Let’s hope things simmer down otherwise things can get real ugly, real quick. And the fallout series might actually become reality sooner than later…
