On June 13, 2025, Israel initiated “Operation Rising Lion,” a significant military campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, missile production facilities, and senior military leadership. The operation involved approximately 200 Israeli fighter jets striking over 100 strategic sites across Iran, including the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility and military installations in Tehran, Tabriz, and Khorramabad. The airstrikes resulted in the deaths of several high-ranking Iranian officials, notably Major General Hossein Salami, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC); Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri; and General Gholam Ali Rashid. Additionally, six nuclear scientists, including Fereydoun Abbasi and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, were reported killed. Prime Minister Modi’s call for peace and stability underscores India’s commitment to global peace efforts and its role in promoting dialogue and diplomacy in international conflicts.
