Smoke rises from a location allegedly targeted in Israel's wave of strikes June 13, 2025, in Tehran, Iran.
Israel and Iran are increasingly likely to expand the scope of their attacks to include targets like each other's political leadership, energy infrastructure and other sensitive targets that would open the door to a wider regional war. On June 13, Iran responded after Israel's initial attacks on Iranian nuclear and military targets with two major barrages of ballistic missiles against Israel, including one that resulted in direct impacts in Tel Aviv. Earlier, Israeli attacks struck Iran's key nuclear sites of Fordow and Isfahan, two locations not reportedly part of the initial attacks. The initial Israeli attack targeted 100 sites throughout Iran and killed several of Iran's top military leaders, including commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Hossein Salami; head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp's Quds Force Gen. Esmail Qaani; and Major Gen.
