As part of waves of strikes observed in Tehran, the Israeli Air Force struck a strategic research and development facility belonging to Iran's military industries and the ballistic missiles array. The Malakashda University facility was used by Iran's defense apparatus to develop nuclear weapon components and missiles and was subordinate to the Iranian Defense Ministry, with international sanctions tied to its activities over the years. In direct Israel-Iran clashes, missiles fired at the southern Israel resort town of Alat were intercepted, with sirens sounding as a flare of hostilities continued from Iran toward Israel. Updates from the Alat area reported red alerts and intercepts, and authorities noted injuries at multiple sites in southern Israel, including a 10-year-old seriously injured in one incident, with figures rising to at least 34 injured across several impact zones,

In Iranian retaliation, the Iranian terrorist regime launched a long-range missile for the first time since the start of Operation roaring lion that could reach about 4,000 km. During Operation Rising Lion in June 2025, the IDF revealed Iran's intent to develop missiles with a 4,000 km reach, posing a danger to dozens of countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. A capability that Iran has denied, but that observers say would put major cities such as London, Paris and Berlin within range as part of a broader regional threat. In U.S. military role, sent-com published footage of an attack on short-range ballistic missile launchers and an Iranian fighter jet, providing a visual record of a recent operation in which American forces targeted Iranian military assets.

With Arabs in affron attacking Kurdish communities and Kurdish groups in Kobani removing Syrian flags and clashing with Arabs, in U.S. policy concerning Israel.

U.S. officials say they seek six commitments from Iran. No missile program for five years, zero uranium enrichment, decommissioning of natants, is for Han and fordo reactors, strict outside observation around centrifuges.
