Tehran – The so-called “12-day war” began with Israeli airstrikes against Iran in the early hours of June 13th. The regime attack occurred before Iran and the United States held their sixth indirect nuclear talk in Oman, hampering the diplomatic process and solving potential progressions in the previous five rounds.
The precursor to the attack was an illegal Israeli strike against Iranian diplomatic facilities held in Damascus on April 1, 2024, destroying the consular unit of the Iranian embassy. He also became Brigadier General Muhammad Reza Zahedi, commander of the IRGC Quds squad, his deputy General Muhammad Hadi Hajirahimi, and the commander of five officers.
Less than two weeks after the attack, Iran retaliated with “True Promise I,” and was then known as the world’s largest drone operation. It marked the first direct military conflict between the two arch enemies.
Iran launched “True Promise II” on October 1, following the Israeli assassination of Tehran’s Hamas leader Esmail Honey.
Operation True Promise III was launched in 22 waves over 12 days this June in response to the US-Israel strikes over Iran’s nuclear, military and civilian infrastructure.
The E-3, along with many other silent Western countries, supported the Israeli strike, using the usual justification that “Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb.” However, numerous demonstrations have been held by the muslim diaspora from the West and around the world, denounced Israeli invasions.
This war also tested the technical know-how of both sides. The effectiveness of Iranian missile technology was relatively known to the West for retaliation for the assassination of Iranian General Soleimani as Iranian missile rain rainfall at Assad Air Base in Iraq on January 8, 2020.
The recent conflict also demonstrated vulnerabilities in the so-called Israeli mobile air defense “Ion and Door” system, particularly against new generations of Iran’s missiles.
On June 22nd, Washington decided to take part in the war. US President Donald Trump announced in a social media post that US troops have attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran, including Natantz, Buscher and Fordau. The economists reported that bombs destroying 14 bunkers and about 30 cruise missiles were fired. Trump quickly insisted on victory, saying Iran’s nuclear facility had been “delete”. However, the claims still swirl around the extent of damage caused by the Fordow attack.
Iran’s trust in the IAEA was wiped out when Iran’s parliament voted to suspend cooperation with the agency. Iran accused the IAEA of generating politically motivated reports, and the US has led to attacks on nuclear sites.
While announcing the attack, Trump said that no other troops around the world could do that and said, “Now is the time of peace!”
At a press conference with the US Secretary of Defense, the US Secretary of Defense said: In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on the same day, US Vice President JD Vance said: Vance added: “We are not interested in boots on the ground… our view is very clear that we do not want a change of government.”
The next day, Iran fought back with a barrage of missiles at Qatar’s Al-udaid Us Air Base. Iran noted that it responded to a “blatant military attack” by the US over Iran’s nuclear facilities. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeli Baghihai wrote that the attack was retaliation for the US “unattacked invasion of Iran’s territorial integrity” over Iran’s nuclear presence.
Six of 13 or 14 missiles fired at US bases were attacked by targets, according to Ali Karijani, a senior adviser to Iranian leaders. No victims have been reported. Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman bin Jasim al-Thani on Tuesday condemned the Iranian missile attack as “unacceptable conduct” and summoned an Iranian ambassador to protest the attack.
On June 24, Trump declared that Iran and Israel had agreed to a “complete and complete ceasefire.” On the same day, President Masuud Pezeskian announced the “end of the 12-day war.”
Common Sense directs that bombs can damage or destroy the country’s nuclear facilities, but they cannot touch Iran’s own nuclear know-how.
The final outcome of the fiasco was the unity of the Iranian people in their support of the Islamic Republic against foreign invasions. At least 77% of Iranians say they are proud of Tehran’s response to Israeli invasion, according to a recent survey conducted by the Ilib research unit.
