๐จ June 2025 Middle East Crisis: US- Israel vs Iran Explodes
In a dramatic escalation this week, the United States carried out airstrikes on three major Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—using B‑2 bombers and bunker‑buster bombs, marking a direct involvement in Israel's months‑long campaign against Iran’s nuclear ambitions 3.
๐ฃ️ What US & Israel Claim
- ๐บ๐ธ The US calls it a precision strike, “severely damaging” Iran’s nuclear infrastructure without seeking regime change 4.
- ๐ฎ๐ฑ Israeli President Herzog stressed Israel is **not** dragging the US into war, and war preparations are handled by Israel’s Security Cabinet 5.
๐ฅ Iran Hits Back
- Iran unleashed a volley of ~27 ballistic missiles at Israel, hitting Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other cities; at least 20 people injured 6.
- Foreign Minister Araghchi condemned US involvement in Israel’s attacks, warning of “everlasting consequences” 7.
- Iran is considering closing the Strait of Hormuz and targeting US military bases if the strikes continue 8.
⚠️ Why It Matters
- Global oil prices spiked due to fears of shipping disruptions through the Strait 9.
- Civilians are fleeing Tehran amid blackout and internet shutdown—over 100,000 displaced 10.
- Regional militias like Hezbollah and Iran-backed groups are being deterred; Iran’s proxy response may be more covert 11.
๐ฐ World Reaction & Diplomacy
UN Secretary-General Antรณnio Guterres has warned this could “spiral out of control” and urged urgent diplomacy 12. Meanwhile, China, Russia, and European nations call for de-escalation 13.
๐ What Could Happen Next?
- ๐ Iran may close the Strait of Hormuz—triggering global market disruption.
- ๐ฏ Covert cyber or proxy attacks – instead of open warfare.
- ๐ Sharp economic and civilian impacts across the region.
๐ฏ Final Takeaway
This June conflict marks an unprecedented moment: the US directly joining Israel’s military campaign against Iran. With missiles now exchanged and tensions skyrocketing, the risk of a full-fledged regional war is higher than ever.
