13.06.2025 ⇢ The Day Israel Struck Iran's Nuclear Sites
⌨

Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion" against Iran's nuclear facilities just after midnight, using over 200 fighter jets to strike dozens of targets including nuclear sites and killing Revolutionary Guard commanders. The operation escalated throughout the day as Iran retaliated with ballistic missiles striking Tel Aviv by evening, with 78 reported dead and hundreds injured.

The Air India crash story from yesterday developed as the sole British survivor provided detailed accounts of his escape, describing how he "opened his eyes, realized he was alive and slipped out of the plane" while watching flight attendants die. Investigators recovered the black box as families awaited answers about what killed 241 passengers.

Trump called the Israeli strikes "excellent" and warned there was "more to come," while European leaders called for de-escalation. The King's Birthday Honours list emerged late in the day, with David Beckham finally receiving his knighthood alongside Luke Littler and other recipients.
