Operation Rising Lion 2025: Israel's Strike on Iran's Nuclear Program On June 13, 2025, at 0400 hours local time, Israel executed the most audacious preemptive military operation in modern history. Operation Rising Lion 2025 represents not merely a tactical strike, but a paradigm-shifting moment that redefined nuclear deterrence, regional power dynamics, and the very nature of preventive warfare in the 21st century. Operation Rising Lion 2025: Israel's Strike on Iran's Nuclear Program provides the first comprehensive, scholarly examination of this watershed moment-when Israel launched strikes involving over 200 aircraft and 330 precision munitions against Iran's nuclear facilities and military leadership, fundamentally altering the Middle Eastern security landscape. This meticulously researched analysis, authored by Dr. Naim Tahir Baig and co-authored by Sidra Ishaq, places Operation Rising Lion within the broader framework of Israel's Begin Doctrine-the preventive strike counter-proliferation policy that declares ""On no account shall we permit an enemy to develop weapons of mass destruction against the people of Israel."" The operation represents the most extensive implementation of this doctrine since its articulation following the 1981 Osirak reactor strike. The authors demonstrate how the International Atomic Energy Agency's historic June 2025 declaration of Iran's non-compliance with its nuclear obligations-the first such formal finding in nearly 20 years-created the legal and strategic framework that enabled Israel's unprecedented action. Drawing on verified intelligence sources and strategic analysis, the book reveals how Iran's secret nuclear activities with undeclared materials at multiple locations, including uranium enrichment activities relevant to nuclear weapons production, brought the region to the nuclear threshold. Through unprecedented access to operational details, Dr. Baig and Ms. Ishaq reconstruct the sophisticated multi-domain campaign that targeted Iran's primary nuclear enrichment facilities including the Natanz underground complex, struck Iranian military leadership including Revolutionary Guard commanders, and eliminated key nuclear scientists. The book reveals how the operation's biblical codename emerged from Prime Minister Netanyahu's placement of Numbers 23:24 in the Western Wall hours before launch-a symbolic act that underscored Israel's perception of existential threat. The authors provide detailed analysis of the operation's immediate tactical outcomes: the destruction of Iran's above-ground enrichment facilities, the targeting of senior military commanders including reports of Revolutionary Guard chief Hossein Salami's death, and strikes that penetrated Iran's air defense systems. More significantly, they examine how the operation demonstrated Israel's capability to unilaterally alter regional nuclear dynamics-even without U.S. coordination or approval. Drawing on extensive research into Israeli nuclear strategy and the Begin Doctrine's evolution, the authors examine how Operation Rising Lion represents a fundamental shift in preventive warfare doctrine. They analyze how Israel's decision to act unilaterally, despite U.S. diplomatic efforts with Iran, reflects the principle that when Israel believes its existence is at stake, it will act regardless of international opposition. Operation Rising Lion 2025 stands as the authoritative account of the day that changed Middle Eastern geopolitics forever-and offers critical insights into the dangerous new era of nuclear competition that followed.
