Iran Unleashes Operation True Promise-3 in Retaliatory Strike

100+ Drones Launched at Israel After Deadly Tehran Airstrike
On June 13, 2025, Iran unleashes Operation True Promise-3, a major retaliatory strike against Israel. Over 100 drones target Israeli territory, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirm. The attack follows Israel’s June 12 airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites, which killed five soldiers. Iranian state media call it a response to “Israeli aggression.” Air raid sirens blare across Israel as tensions soar.
Details of Iran’s Drone Assault
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) leads the operation, deploying over 100 drones, including Shahed-136 and Shahed-238 models. The IDF reports intercepting many drones, with U.S., UK, and Jordanian forces assisting. Minor damage hits an Israeli airbase, but no casualties are reported yet. Iranian commander Hossein Salami warns of a “harsh and unimaginable” response, escalating fears of regional war.
Context of the Escalation
Operation True Promise-3 follows Israel’s strikes on Tehran, targeting nuclear and missile sites. Iran claims these attacks violated its sovereignty. This marks Iran’s third direct assault on Israel, after Operation True Promise I (April 2024) and II (October 2024). The strikes respond to Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah. Posts on X reflect panic, with some urging Iran to act decisively.
Global and Regional Reactions
The U.S. condemns Iran’s attack, pledging “ironclad” support for Israel. Saudi Arabia denounces Israel’s prior strikes but urges de-escalation. Jordan and Iraq close their airspace, disrupting flights. On X, sentiment splits—some praise Iran’s retaliation, others fear a broader conflict. The UN Security Council schedules an emergency meeting as global leaders call for restraint.
What Happens Next?
Israel’s war cabinet convenes in a Jerusalem bunker, planning a response. Prime Minister Netanyahu vows to “neutralize threats.” Iran’s Foreign Minister warns of further retaliation if Israel strikes again. The IDF remains on high alert, with GPS jamming and embassy evacuations in place. Stay updated via Israel’s official channels or Iran’s IRGC statements for real-time developments.
