Iran's answer: retaliation began • On the evening of June 13, Iran responded to Israel with 100+ ballistic missiles + 100+ drones. • Israel's air defenses (with iron dome, US reinforcements) neutralized many of them; nevertheless, there was damage and loss of life in Tel Aviv's surrounding areas (at least 3 dead, dozens injured). • Iranian revolutionary guards threatened that this retaliation could expand to both Israeli and US bases in the coming days. 3. U.S. support and role • The U.S. helped block Iran missile attacks with missile defense systems. allegations of jet or ship use were denied. • Trump's administration announced that they were aware of the incident, but stated that it was not directly involved in the operation. 4. regional and global effects • large fluctuations occurred in financial markets and oil prices: oil prices increased by 7–14%, risky assets retreated, the dollar strengthened . • Middle eastern airfields closed, a feverish sensitive environment was created. BM security council convened emergency . 5. International responses and diplomacy • Turkey, Russia and European countries condemned the tension and called for restraint. • Nuclear talks (US.-Iran) were planned in Oman, but Iran talked about the possibility of not participating by saying “meaningless” . • Middle East conferences were postponed at the UN General Assembly, emergency sessions of the security council are being held. 6. Next steps: what to expect? • the conflict may escalate: Iran is expanding the retaliation and threatening attacking its US bases. • Israel says it will “continue until it does not surrender”; Netanyahu called on the Iranian people to revolt against the regime. • circumstances in the Middle East: Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis may increase their effectiveness; also Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries are at risk. In summary: this has ceased to be a proxy war and is an open conflict: we are in a multi-front war with drones, ballistic missiles, underground sabotage, indirect intervention of external forces. developments can change every hour. Operation rising lion ??!? What does it mean? Shadow of the "rising lion" in the Torah: the use of religious symbolism in modern war The escalating tension in the Middle East has turned into a war not only of missiles, uaves and intelligence wars; but also of symbols, sacred texts and psychological codes. The name given by Israel to its last operation against Iran is not an ordinary code name in this sense: "rising lion", that is, the rising lion. This name refers not only to a military but also to a metaphysical narrative. So, where does this name come from? And why now? The name chosen by Israel for this operation directly refers to the Torah, especially the numbers 23:24: "Behold, the people get up like a lion, straighten up like a male lion; he does not lie down until he eats his prey and drinks the blood of those he kills." This verse contains a divine prophecy of how the children of Israel will stand up against their enemies. The "lion" as a symbol is not only a sign of power here; it is also the figure of justice and divine anger, which is practiced with patience and determination. In Jewish traditions, the lion is mostly identified with the tribe of Judah. In the curse that Jacob made to his sons, it is said for Judah (genis 49:9): "Juda is a lion's cub... she lay like a lion, a lion's female; who can lift it?" This expression allows the identification of Judah (and therefore the royal lineage - King David and Messiah) with supremacy and holity. Therefore, the state of Israel frequently used the lion figure of Judah not only in religious texts, but also in temple decorations, state coats of arms, military emblems. The "rising lion" feeds on this very root. The operation is not only a military engagement; it is also staged as a representation of "divine justice". While this carries a kind of legitimacy message to the domestic public opinion, it also builds a super-narrative against the enemy: "We didn't just shoot. We rose as part of the divine order." Moreover, this naming also takes a strategic position in the international public opinion. Israel's positioning of itself as the "people who fulfill the will of god" also finds a psychological response in evangelical and Zionist groups in the west. The name of the operation in this sense is much more than a missile: a myth, a message, a legacy. This shows that in modern wars, not only weapons, but also words and sacred texts are actively used. “Rising Lion” is much more than the name of a military operation: a call, a prophecy, a psycho-diplomatic narrative.
