Israel opens an air campaign against Iran

On 13 June 2025, Israel launched strikes on Iran’s military and nuclear structures, opening a twelve-day war.

Natanz was among the installations hit. The IAEA subsequently documented attacks on several nuclear sites and the interruption of its verification activities for safety reasons.

Iran retaliated against Israel. This campaign was distinct from the war opened in February 2026: it was an earlier phase of sustained attacks on Iranian installations, not part of the same military timetable.
