Such a serious Israeli attack against Iran is extremely dangerous to the peace of the region and the world. Iran not only failed to stop the Israeli attack but could not respond effectively yet. Iran has failed to respond to the equivalent. Iran’s defense system has been defused. Intelligence system has also been thwarted. Iran’s airspace is also weak. The missile system could not show work. Targeting military and nuclear leadership is a extreme step and its strategic arsenals.The Irani defense system is also weak.
Israel has launched an unusual and widespread airstrike on Iran on June 13, 2025 . According to reports, more than 200 sophisticated fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force have targeted Iran’s military and nuclear targets in a mission called “Operation Rising Lion”.
The Israeli air fleet was equipped with heavy weapons, long -range missiles, and modern electronic warfare technology. The aircraft have targeted close to 100 targets, including Air Defense Centers, Missile Facilities, Missile Adnables Centers, Nuclear Installations, Higher Commander’s Houses and Command and Control Centers, near Tehran, Isfahan, Hamdan, and Kerman.
There are unconfirmed reports of severe casualties, military and strategic losses to Iran in the attack. Hussein Salami, the head of the Revolutionary Guards, the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Army, General Mohammad Baqari, and the head of the air defense, Ghulam Ali Rasheed, were martyred. Two renowned nuclear scientists – Faridon Abbasi and Mohammad Mahdi Tehranchi – were also subjected to the attack. More than 50 civilians were killed or injured in northern Tehran’s residential areas, including women and children. There are unconfirmed reports of damage to defense installations, including Natanz uranium enrichment center, missile factories, radar stations and SW300 missile defense systems. Israel has claimed that the attack is a heavy blow to Iran’s military command, air defense network and nuclear program.
The speed of the attack, the accuracy of the targets, and the ability to suspend the Iranian defense system are proof that the operation was based on long planning and intelligence information. However, many questions are also being raised from this.
Israel’s air distance from the Iranian capital of Tehran is at least 1,700 to 1,800 km. To return after such a distance attack, Israeli planes must need refueling, especially when they are carrying heavy bombs.
Israel has only 7 to 8 KC‑707 “Re’em” Boeing refueling aircraft that can fuel a limited number of fighter jets. This facility is not only insufficient for a fleet consisting of about 100 aircraft, but also proof that Israel has received external support for this operation.
The United States has announced that it did not provide any logistics or refueling support in the attack. Apparently Trump’s policy seems to be the same. Thereafter, the same possibility remains: Israeli plane returns to a nearby country by making a temporary landing on a nearby airbase and returning to the fuel. What is the country that has supported Israel in the attack? This cannot be hidden in the era of satellite today.
Secondly, Israeli planes must go through the airspace of Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or the Gulf countries to invade Iran. No radar can ignore the movement of aerial fleet equipped with such large arms, but surprisingly:
1:No country issued an air defense alert,
2:No one protested Israeli air violations,
3: No one did the aircraft intercepted.
This silence is not merely a coincidence but a “default consent” address. This proves that many of the Middle East rulers have already become aware and silent partners in the Israeli invasion.
This attack is apparently a wonderful example of the Israeli military capability, but in fact the attack is also a danger for the regional countries.
