DADUNATION NEWS - Tehran, 21 Juni 2025 —
Tehran, June 21, 2025 —
Armed conflict between Israel and Iran has reached its most intense level in modern history. Under the military operation “Operation Rising Lion,” Israel launched a massive airstrike targeting strategic Iranian facilities, including military bases, missile sites, and nuclear installations in Isfahan, Natanz, and Tehran.
In retaliation, Iran has fired more than 150 ballistic missiles and hundreds of armed drones toward several major Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Beersheba. Notably, the attack struck Soroka Medical Center, causing civilian injuries and widespread panic.
📊 Casualties and Damage
According to Dadunation reports:
-
600+ fatalities in Iran, including nuclear scientists and senior military officials.
-
50+ Israelis injured, with hundreds more evacuated to emergency shelters.
-
The Iron Dome defense system intercepted many incoming missiles, though several managed to break through.
-
Financial losses are estimated in the billions of USD on both sides, including military and civilian infrastructure.
🌐 Global Reaction & Stalled Diplomacy
French President Emmanuel Macron proposed a peace deal offering Iran’s nuclear de-escalation in exchange for a ceasefire, but Iran refused any negotiation while Israeli attacks continue.
Meanwhile, the UN and United States urged restraint. President Donald Trump hinted at possible US military involvement if the conflict escalates further or endangers US allies.
⚠️ Regional Threats Expand
Hezbollah in Lebanon has issued stern warnings and could intervene militarily if the conflict deepens. Iran-backed militias in Syria and Iraq are reportedly mobilizing.
Western intelligence agencies have warned of possible activation of Iranian sleeper cells in Europe and North America, raising fears of retaliation beyond the battlefield.
🚨 Civilians at Risk
Air raid sirens have become a nightly occurrence in Israeli cities. In Iran, many civilians are fleeing from urban areas to remote villages to escape bombings. Children, women, and the elderly are among the most severely affected.
🧭 Conflict Trajectory: Toward Regional War?
This conflict is feared to spark a full-scale regional war, potentially dragging in other Middle Eastern nations. According to Dadunation, this marks the worst escalation between Israel and Iran since 2012, and could turn into an open war if unchecked.
✍️ Closing Statement: A Call for Peace
Dadunation urges all regional and global stakeholders to prioritize diplomacy and de-escalation. This conflict threatens not only the two nations involved, but also global peace, stability, and the safety of civilians everywhere.
