“Iran–Israel War Ignites: Assassinations, Retaliation, and the Road to a Regional Inferno”

With nuclear scientists killed, top generals assassinated, and proxy forces on edge — the Middle East teeters on the brink of uncontrollable chaos !

It began with bombs over Natanz — now the ghosts of war march again. Israel strikes deep, Iran bleeds and swears vengeance. As Russia and China lean in, is this the moment the Middle East explodes beyond return?



Understanding the Israel–Iran Escalation: 

A Deep Dive by : Ahmad Saghir

Email: Mediapk@asia.com


Background of the Conflict

The longstanding tensions between Iran and Israel revolve around Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional proxy warfare. Iran supports armed groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthi rebels—as extensions of its influence—while Israel continues preemptive operations to block Iranian nuclear advancement.

Israel’s “Rising Lion” Operation

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, executing a large-scale strike on Iran. The attack involved over 200 fighter jets and dozens of targets, including:

  • Iran’s Natanz uranium-enrichment facility
  • Missile development sites
  • Senior IRGC leaders (Hossein Salami and Mohammad Bagheri)
  • Nuclear scientists

Prime Minister Netanyahu stated the operation aims to “roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival” and confirmed the strikes would continue “for as many days as it takes.”


Iran’s Past & Present Reactions

  • Historical response: Iran has previously retaliated via drone and missile proxy attacks (e.g., “True Promise” in April and October 2024), targeting Israeli military installations
  • Current reaction: Iran has already launched over 100 drones toward Israel and vowed a “harsh, decisive” and measured response



Casualties & Death Toll

  • Key IRGC military figures reported killed:
    • Gen. Hossein Salami (IRGC Commander)
    • Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri (Chief of General Staff)
  • Two prominent nuclear scientists also reportedly killed.
  • Civilian areas were struck; reports confirm children among casualties


Iran’s New Military Leaders

Following Bagheri’s death:

  • Maj. Gen. Habibollah Sayyari—a former Navy commander and marine commando from the Iran–Iraq War—has been appointed acting Armed Forces Commander
  • Sayyari is expected to maintain continuity while solidifying Iran’s naval and maritime defense posture in the Gulf



Global and Regional Dynamics

  • United States: Not involved in the attack but assured Israel that American forces would remain protected. However, U.S.–Iran nuclear negotiations (scheduled in Oman) are now derailed
  • Russia and China: Continue diplomatic support for Iran. Both stress nuclear negotiation respect and may step up military cooperation—providing defense tech and intelligence
  • International actors: Saudi Arabia condemned the attack; UN and IAEA expressed alarm over nuclear facilities being targeted

Iran’s Defense Strategy and Capabilities

  • Missile & Drone Arsenal: Includes capable ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones—some already used to strike Israel in 2024
  • AI and Proxy Warfare: Iran will likely lean heavily on drone swarms, cyber tools, and allied militias (Hezbollah, Houthis, Iraqi militias) to respond
  • Naval Operations: Expect Iran to deploy naval forces near the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman as part of maritime strategic retaliation.
My Forecasting the Coming 48 hours 

These predictions are grounded in Iran’s historical strategy and current strength:

  1. Proxy escalation: Precision drone/missile strikes on Israeli military and U.S. regional assets via allied groups
  2. Beefs to maritime security: Naval patrols/harassment in Gulf shipping routes
  3. Direct military mobilization: Iran could use S-200/S-300 surface-to-air missiles defensively; possible S-400 acquisition from Russia
  4. Cyber & hybrid warfare: Attacks on Israeli critical infrastructure, finance systems, and pipelines
  5. Delay in nuclear talks: Diplomatic engagement delayed indefinitely—calls for punitive sanctions could multiply

Israel’s strike marks a historic escalation—targeting Iran’s core nuclear and military infrastructure for the first time. Iran’s response will be multilateral: proxy strikes, drone barrages, maritime harassment, and hybrid warfare—backed tacitly by Russia and China. This could ignite a dangerous regional escalation with long-term strategic implications.

“This isn’t just Israel vs. Iran—it’s the opening salvo of a broader cold war: U.S.–Israel on one side, and Iran–Russia–China on the other.”

800 fuel units for missiles have been secretly dispatched from China to Iran — a move that could redefine the balance of power in the Middle East . By: Ahmad Saghir Independent Journalist & Political Analyst In late May, Iran placed an urgent order with China for fuel critical to long-range missiles. Now, that fuel is en route — and multiple intelligence leaks confirm that at least 800 units are being delivered. The implications? Catastrophic — not just for Israel, but potentially for the entire region . According to reports published by The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, and The Times of Israel in the first week of June, Iran’s missile supply chain has received a massive upgrade. The quiet delivery of fuel from China is not just a routine transaction — it marks a dangerous turning point in the Iran-Israel conflict. Analysts believe that the fuel in question will power hundreds of surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, potentially capable of reaching Israeli cities and strategic s...

Who is Supporting Mossad from Within Iran?

Who is the Iranian figure crying at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem? Why are the U.S., Europe, and others pushing for regime change in Tehran? By: Ahmad Saghir – Country Head / Regional Director, Global Media Networked (Postgraduate – Political Communication, Germany / MPhil Political Science, Pakistan) U ntil recently, Iran has been a country under immense pressure — both internally and externally. On one hand, it’s faced with foreign aggression and geopolitical isolation; on the other, it’s torn between two opposing ideological forces that are quietly shaping the country’s uncertain future. The first force comprises individuals, groups, and elites who remain loyal to the legacy of former Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. These factions long for a return to Iran’s monarchy — an era they associate with cultural openness, Western alliances, and economic development. In their view, the current revolutionary regime has driven Iran into international isolation, economic misery, and endless re...
