13.06.2025 ⇢ Day Israel Strikes Iran Nuclear Sites
⌨
Israel launched what it called a "preemptive strike" against Iran's nuclear facilities and military targets after midnight, escalating beyond the previous days' diplomatic tensions. The attacks killed Iran's military chief of staff and Revolutionary Guard commander, prompting Iranian retaliation declarations. Asian markets opened with significant declines as oil prices surged 13%, continuing the economic volatility that began with recent trade uncertainties.
Japan condemned the nuclear facility strikes while seeking G7 coordination to reduce tensions, building on its diplomatic positioning from recent days. Prime Minister Ishiba simultaneously announced universal 20,000 yen cash payments, expanding from the Liberal Democratic Party's earlier 40,000 yen proposal, and defended the program against criticism of wasteful spending.
Iran's attempted drone retaliation was intercepted by late morning, while Japan issued travel advisories for Iran. Ishiba arranged a Trump meeting during G7 proceedings, continuing Japan's strategy for tariff exemptions that emerged from recent bilateral discussions.
