Extended-protected article
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of airstrikes and bombardments during the Iran–Israel war. The war began on 13 June 2025, when Israel attacked targets at more than a dozen locations across Iran. Under the codename Operation Rising Lion,[a] the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Mossad attacked key nuclear sites, military installations, and residential areas,[1][2][3] including targeted assassinations of military and civilian personnel, many of whom were killed in their homes or in meetings.[4] Beginning on the evening of 13 June, Iran initiated retaliatory strikes against Israel, under the codename Operation True Promise III.[b][c] The operation consisted of ballistic missiles and drones targeting military sites, intelligence sites, and residential areas.[6][7] Iran also threatened to target American, British, and French military bases if they provided assistance to Israel.[8] On 22 June, the United States conducted Operation Midnight Hammer, which involved airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.[9][10] Iran responded by attacking U.S. bases in Iraq and Qatar as part of Operation Glad Tidings of Victory.[11][12]

Israel later stated that the ceasefire had taken effect at 7:00 a.m. and was violated by Iran. A previous tweet by Trump appeared to put the start of the ceasefire at approximately 7:00 a.m. (around 1:00 am Israeli time, Trump posted that the ceasefire would start in "approximately" 6h "when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions"). At 7:30 a.m. Israeli time the Iranian state media said the ceasefire is now in effect, around 8:00 a.m. Donald Trump tweeted that the "ceasefire is now in effect", which after 09:00 a.m. was followed by an official Israeli statement that the ceasefire is accepted.
