➡️ U.S. ATTACKS ON IRAN (Up to 2025)

This guide details U.S. attacks and threats to attack Iran up to the end of 2025, including U.S. involvement in the 12-day war, which took place from 13 to 24 June 2025.

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a series of reckless airstrikes (Operation Rising Lion) on Iran's main nuclear enrichment sites in a blatant breach of international law.

This unprovoked aggression came just days before the U.S. was due to commence diplomatic nuclear talks with Iran in Oman. Iran has vowed to retaliate with force in this devastating escalation of the wider war in the Middle East, which we are now watching unfold in the new U.S. and Israeli war on Iran as of February 2026.
