Israel reveals the dramatic information that led to Operation Rising Lion

The IDF publishes a summary of Operation Rising Lion, which dealt a decisive blow to Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, eliminated senior defense officials, and secured air dominance over Tehran. The IDF released on Friday morning the official summary of Operation Rising Lion, launched on June 13 to counter the Iranian regime’s accelerating nuclear and missile programs. The operation was a preemptive strike aimed at neutralizing what the IDF defined as an existential threat to the State of Israel.

According to the report, for months leading up to the operation, Military Intelligence gathered evidence that Iran was rapidly enriching uranium to 60% - a level sufficient to produce several nuclear bombs in a short time. Intelligence also revealed a covert regime plan involving advanced nuclear weapon research and experimentation in key areas.

In parallel, the Iranian regime was preparing to triple its production of precision missiles, expanding its arsenal from 2,500 to 8,000 missiles. This was part of a broader strategy that included a multi-front attack against Israel, beginning with missile strikes launched from Iran and its proxies, and culminating in a large-scale ground invasion across Israel’s borders.

Recognizing the urgency, the IDF - working in close coordination with the United States - identified strategic vulnerabilities in the Iranian regime and launched a surprise offensive, seizing a narrow window of opportunity before the threat became irreversible.  (Read More)
