Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today, June 13, said that Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion" against Iran. In a video statement, Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israeli forces targeted Iran's "leading nuclear scientists" and nuclear sites under "Operation Rising Lion". "Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a victim of a nuclear holocaust perpetrated by the Iranian regime," he added. The Israeli PM further said that Israel struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear weaponisation program. This comes after explosions were heard in Iran's Natanz city, home to a key nuclear site. One video showed a nuclear facility on fire. Besides Natanz, Israeli forces also attacked Iran's capital early on Friday, June 13, with explosions booming across Tehran as Israel said it targeted nuclear and military sites. Israel Attacks Iran's Capital with Explosions Booming Across Tehran.
