'Fighting 1,500 km from home isn’t a walk in the park,' says IAF pilot Maj. N’ of the first strike in Iran; 'We saw Iranian jets take off—then flee and vanish, and we stayed two hours and could’ve gone back—again and again'.

“This is my correction for October 7—this time we were the initiators,” says Maj N. (31), an F-15 pilot from Squadron 133, one of the first to take part in the unprecedented Israeli airstrikes over Iran at the start of Operation Rising Lion Now, he shares what it was like to wait for the green light, the challenges of flying deep into enemy territory, and the deeply personal sense of “correction” for the failure that launched the war.

Arab Writers: Iran Is An Enemy Of The Arabs; By Attacking It, Israel Did The Job The Arabs Were Afraid Of.

 +
 +
After Israeli launched its military operation against Iran and its nuclear facilities on June 13, 2025, all the Arab countries except for Syria rushed to condemn it and to express support for Iran, including countries whose relations with Iran are marked by tension and suspicion. For example, a statement from the Saudi foreign ministry condemned "the harsh Israeli attacks on the sister Iranian Islamic Republic," and Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan hastened to phone his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, to express his support. The Emirati foreign ministry likewise issued a "stern" condemnation of "Israel's military attack" and expressed concern about further escalation and its impact on the security and stability of the region. The Egyptian foreign ministry described the situation as "a very dangerous regional escalation, a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter and a direct threat to regional and international peace and security." At a meeting of Jordan's National Security Council convened to discuss the implications of the Israeli attack, King Abdullah II described it as "a violation of international law… and of the sovereignty of the country," and declared that Jordan opposed anyone "turning it into an arena of war."

Iran Threatens To Use ‘Islamic Bomb’ On Israel; Will Netanyahu Go Nuclear To Cripple ‘Bitter Rival’ Once For All?
 +
By Sumit Ahlawat- June 17, 2025
 +
 +
As the Israel-Iran war entered its fourth day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning that Iran will pay a very “heavy price” for targeting civilians in Israel, sparking speculation as to whether he was referring to a possible ‘nuclear strike’.
 +
 +
“Iran will pay a very heavy price for the premeditated murder of civilians, women and children,” Netanyahu said during a visit to the site of a missile strike on a residential building in the coastal city of Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv.
 +
 +
The fighting intensified on the weekend, with Israel targeting Iran’s Defense Ministry in Tehran. Meanwhile, as per the Israeli government, Iran has launched 370 medium-range ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones, which resulted in the death of 24 people, and have injured nearly 600.
 +
 +
Notably, and worryingly for Israel, Iran has employed its latest and most lethal ballistic missiles. According to local media reports, Iran has used the Emad medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM), which is equipped with a maneuverable re-entry vehicle (MaRV) for improved accuracy and radar evasion, Ghadr (Qadr-110) liquid-fueled MRBM, Kheibar Shekan (MaRV), Haj Qassem, and possibly Fattah-1 and Fattah-2, which Iran projects as hypersonic missiles.
 +
 +
However, what has caught the attention of security analysts is a statement by Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) commander, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, who has threatened the use of a nuclear bomb against Israel if Tel Aviv launches any nuclear missiles against Iran.
