What's Happening?
Israel and Iran started a huge war on June 13, 2025.
These two countries are very far from each other, about 1600 km. But still, they are sending missiles and drones to attack each other.
Many people have lost their lives, and buildings have been destroyed. This has worried the whole world.
How Did It Start?
The war began when Israel did a surprise attack on Iran, called '[[Operation Rising Lion::Israel’s surprise attack on Iran’s nuclear sites]]'.
Israel attacked Iran’s [[nuclear sites::Places where nuclear work is done.]]. It believes Iran is using these sites to try to build nuclear bombs, which are extremely dangerous weapons.
Iran fought back by firing more than 270 missiles at Israel.
Why Are They Fighting?
Israel thinks Iran is trying to make a nuclear bomb at its nuclear sites. This would be a huge [[threat::Danger of something bad happening.]] to Israel.
Iran says it is using its sites for making peaceful [[nuclear energy::Power made from nuclear materials, like uranium.]] only. But many countries, including Israel and the United States, do not believe that.
These two countries have not liked each other for many years. Now, they are fighting directly and openly.
How Strong Are They?
Israel has a powerful defense system called the [[Iron Dome::A system in Israel that stops rockets in the sky.]]. It stops rockets in the air before they hit buildings. Israel also has high-tech fighter jets and spy drones.
Iran has many missiles. Some fly very high and fast. Others fly low to avoid being seen. Iran also uses drones that can go far and hit targets.
Both countries are using modern machines in this war.
How Are People Affected?
This war is hurting regular people. In Iran, 224 people have died, and cities have been badly damaged. In Israel, 24 people have died from the attacks.
Homes, schools, and lives have all been destroyed. People in both countries are living in fear.
What Might Happen Next?
Leaders from around the world are asking for peace; they are very worried about this war.
The US supports Israel but also wants the war to stop.
If Iran makes a nuclear bomb, other countries may make bombs too. That could make the world more dangerous.
It doesn't matter who wins in a war; innocent people suffer on both sides. It is always better to choose peace.
