Israel-Iran Tensions: Key Dates Leading To Israel's Major Attack On Iran
Tensions have been growing between arch-rivals Israel and Iran since the start of the war in Gaza, following the unprecedented attack on Israel launched by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Here is a roundup of key dates leading up to Israel's major attack on Friday, in which it pounded Iran in a series of air raids. Hamas Attack On October 8, 2023, a day after militants from Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attack Israel, late Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi said Iran supported the Palestinians' "legitimate defence". He accused Israel of "endangering the security of nations in the region". In central Tehran, banners were raised showing solidarity with the Palestinians. On October 28, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed that 90 percent of Hamas's military budget came from Iran. "It funds, it organises, it directs it." Death Of Top Commander On December 25, Iran blamed Israel for an attack in Syria that killed Razi Moussavi, a senior officer in the Quds Force, the arm of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that operates abroad. Weeks later in January 2024, a strike in Damascus blamed on Israel killed five Revolutionary Guards members. Iranian media later report that the victims included the group's intelligence chief for Syria and his deputy. Attack On Iranian Embassy On April 1, an air strike blamed on Israel against Iran's diplomatic mission in Damascus levelled the embassy's consular annex. It killed seven Revolutionary Guards, two of them generals. Iran and Syria accused Israel, which neither confirmed nor denied it. The Israeli army then stated that the casualties of the strike were "terrorists" fighting Israel. Iran hits back Nearly two weeks later, on April 13, Iran sent a wave of missiles and drones at Israel. The attack was Tehran's first-ever direct assault on Israeli territory since the establishment of its Islamic Republic in 1979. Israel and other nations including the US intercepted most of the projectiles. Israel vowed to retaliate. On April 19, explosions were reported in central Iran, with US media quoting officials saying Israel had carried out revenge strikes against its arch-rival. Iran played down the impact of the blasts and did not directly accuse Israel, which did not claim responsibility. Hamas Leader Killed In Tehran On July 31, Hamas said its political leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in an overnight strike in Iran. He was attending the swearing-in of the new President Masoud Pezeshkian. Hamas, which with Iran and Hezbollah blamed Israel, vowed the act "will not go unanswered". On August 3, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said that Israel killed Haniyeh using a "short-range projectile" launched from outside his accommodation in Tehran. Months later, Israel took responsibility for the killing. Hezbollah Leader killed Amid a mounting series of bombardments against Hezbollah, on September 27 an Israeli strike on its south Beirut stronghold killed the group's leader Hassan Nasrallah alongside an Iranian general in the Revolutionary Guards. Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed that Nasrallah's death "will not be in vain". Iran Strike On Israel On October 1, Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel in what the Revolutionary Guards said was a response to the killings of Nasrallah and Haniyeh. In retaliation, on October 26 Israel bombed military targets in Iran, killing four servicemen. Israeli Air Raids In a major attack on June 13, 2025, Israel pounded Iran in a series of air raids, striking targets including Tehran's nuclear and military sites. The raids killed the armed forces' chief of staff, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and top nuclear scientists. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Israel it faces a "bitter and painful" fate over the attacks.

Rogue nation: on Israel's Iran strikes
Israel's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, at a time when Washington and Tehran were in talks, are brazenly illegal, reckless and dangerous. If there was any possibility of resolving the nuclear issue through dialogue, Israel has practically killed it. That Donald Trump, despite his repeated warnings, failed to stop America's closest ally from launching the attacks — threatening his own diplomatic push — suggests that the U.S. President was either not serious about his words or had limited influence. Israel's overnight attack targeted the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, ballistic missile factories and the residences of Iran's top nuclear scientists and military chain of command. In retaliation, Iran launched a drone attack, with most shot down. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has promised a harsh response. If Iran launches ballistic missiles, which seems likely, Israel would carry out more attacks, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated. So what possibly awaits West Asia are prolonged attacks and counterattacks, with potential regional spillover effects. There are legitimate concerns about Iran's nuclear programme. It has enriched uranium to 60% purity, way above the grade for civilian purposes. Israel says Iran was making attempts to build a bomb in secret. While the IAEA says Iran has enough highly enriched uranium to make bombs, there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that Iran has moved in this direction. Tehran once agreed to scuttle its nuclear programme in return for the lifting of sanctions as part of the multilateral agreement in 2015, but it was Mr. Trump who sabotaged the agreement. And when Mr. Trump, in his second term, offered dialogue, the Iranians seized it. But what Iran got instead was an attack on its nuclear plants. Israel did this as it knew it could get away with any form of aggression, thanks to the U.S.'s military, political and diplomatic support. Israel has behaved like a rogue nation ever since the October 7 attack by Hamas. It is facing allegations of committing genocide after its destruction in Gaza that has killed over 54,000 Palestinians. It routinely bombs Lebanon despite a ceasefire with Hezbollah. It has carved up more territories in Syria after the collapse of the Assad regime. And now, by attacking Iran, Tel Aviv has pushed West Asia into a deeper security abyss. Israel's unchecked militarism is closing the space for diplomacy in a tumultuous region. If the conflict spills over into the Gulf waters and kingdoms, it would be catastrophic for the global economy, especially for India whose millions of citizens work and live in the region. There must be an immediate, coordinated international effort to rein in the Jewish state and reboot diplomacy to restore stability in West Asia.

Khamenei vows to leave Israel ‘helpless', says Iran will ‘not go for half measures'
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday condemned Israel's overnight strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and top military officials, declaring that Iran's armed forces would render Israel 'helpless' read more Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday condemned Israel's overnight strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and top military officials, declaring that Iran's armed forces would render Israel 'helpless'. 'Our Armed Forces will act powerfully and create a miserable situation for the wicked Zionist regime,' Tehran Times quoted Khamenei as saying in a televised address on Friday night. Khamenei emphasised that the Israeli actions had crossed a red line and said that Israel 'will not remain unscathed', and that Tehran 'will not go for half measures in its response'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The remarks come after Israel launched a significant military operation targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure and key military figures, an action that has escalated tensions in the region. Iran has already initiated retaliatory measures, including launching over 100 drones and missiles towards Israel, which were intercepted by Israeli defence systems. 'A short while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel,' Israel's military said in a statement, adding the public should enter protected shelters 'and remain there until further notice'. On Friday, Israel executed a large-scale military operation targeting Iran's nuclear and military facilities. The strikes, involving warplanes and drones, resulted in the deaths of several high-ranking Iranian officials, including Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, and Major General Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Israeli military confirmed the elimination of at least six senior commanders and nine nuclear scientists. Key targets included the Natanz and Fordo uranium enrichment facilities. The operation was reportedly planned over several months and aimed at halting Iran's advancing nuclear programme. The United States, while not directly involved, had been informed of the impending Israeli strikes. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD President Donald Trump reiterated his warning to Iran, stating that failure to negotiate a nuclear deal would result in 'even more brutal' attacks. The international community has expressed deep concern over the escalating tensions, with calls for de-escalation and renewed diplomatic efforts to prevent further conflict.
