Israel and Iran fight a twelve-day war
June 13, 2025
Israel struck Iranian nuclear and military sites, and Iran responded with missile attacks as the United States entered the conflict with strikes on Fordow and Natanz. A ceasefire ended the fighting after twelve days, but the confrontation left the region closer to direct state-to-state war than at any point in decades.
