The Real Reason Behind Israel’s Attack on Iran | What Happened in the Twelve-Day War?

Revealing the Secret Behind Israel’s Attack on Iran and a Review of the Twelve-Day Iran-Israel War

It was around 6:30 a.m. on a summer morning in Israel when sudden, thunderous explosions shattered the peaceful dawn for the Israelis. Reports quickly emerged that Hamas had launched thousands of rockets and missiles in a surprise offensive from the Gaza Strip into Israel. Although the number of Israeli casualties was not very high, the Resistance Front in the operation known as “Al-Aqsa Storm” on October 7^th shattered the fragile dominance of Zionism and the myth of Israel’s invincibility. After this event, the world heard the noise of Israel’s “empty vessels” and witnessed the final stages of Zionism’s decline. The Al-Aqsa Storm was neither the beginning nor the end of the battle between the truth and falsehood, rather it was a critical part of it. The clash between good and evil began with the creation of humanity and continues until the establishment of the promised divine civilization on Earth. The Zionist ideology is the heart of evil in the world, while the resistance ideology represents the heart of righteousness. At the core of this heart lies Iran. Though all the countries and groups within the Resistance Axis—such as Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Ansarullah in Yemen, Syria, Hamas in Palestine, and the Shia militias in Iraq—are vital pillars of the Front of Truth, Iran remains its center.

The Zionist ideology, led by the United States and Israel, knows well that Palestinians alone do not pose a significant threat; the entire Resistance Front draws inspiration from Iran. Iran is the lifeblood of the Front of Truth and Resistance [1] because it pumps the belief in the unity of God and the divine civilization-building ideology into the heart of resistance—two essential forces that will inevitably defeat and cripple the Front of Falsehood. The Zionist front has long understood that to achieve its goals, it must target Iran—the heart of righteousness, monotheism, and goodness—and destroy it. For years, they have dedicated plans, strategies, and think tanks to the eradication of Iran. Sanctions, threats, assassinations, media warfare, and proxy wars have been some of the evil front’s efforts to weaken and eliminate Iran. But today, the battlefield between truth and falsehood has intensified; the arena of conflict has shrunk, the final confrontation has begun, and the struggle has escalated to direct military conflict. Israel’s attack on Iran falls squarely within this context. God’s true promise is that the righteous of the End Times will arm themselves with piety and monotheism, weaken the Front of Falsehood, welcome the Promised Savior of the End Times to the Earth, and transform the world into a beautiful, divine, joyful, peaceful, and prosperous place through His governance and guidance. To examine more closely the reasons behind years of hostility by the world’s hollow superpowers against Iran, the cause of Israel’s attack on Iran, and the role of the people of the world and other governments in this conflict, stay with us.

A Review of the Events Related to Israel’s Attack on Iran

In the early dawn of June 13, 2025, while the people of Iran were resting up, preparing themselves for the day ahead, the oppressive and child-killing Zionist regime violated Iran’s airspace and territory without any warning and attacked Iran. In this sudden and preemptive war, Israel first targeted and assassinated a group of senior military commanders and some of the most influential nuclear scientists, in clear violation of international laws. The tragedy, however, did not stop at the assassination of commanders and scientists. Many residential areas were attacked, resulting in the martyrdom of numerous innocent civilians—women, children, and men. The powerful Iran did not leave this cowardly aggression unanswered. Less than 24 hours after their aggression, Iran launched a devastating military response against Israel. This retaliatory strike, carried out on the night of June 13, was only the beginning of Israel’s defeat and the first wave of Iranian attacks in an operation named “The True Promise III” [2].

Although the Zionist regime, fearing disgrace and scandal, prohibited any photography or media coverage of the missile strikes and destruction within the occupied Palestinian territories—and imposed harsh penalties for any violations—the shame of the damage and devastation could not be hidden from the global community and was broadcast worldwide [3].

This battle lasted for twelve days. The Zionist regime targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities, military bases, command centers, communication hubs, residential areas, and radar infrastructure with drones and missile attacks. Iran responded with strikes far more powerful and destructive than Israel’s initial assault. The Iranian attacks on various points within Israel forced many Zionists into shelters or caused them to flee the land they had violently seized, back to the countries from which their ancestors had once come [4].

This is because they have no true nation or homeland to seek refuge in or be proud of. Iran’s precise, targeted strikes hit strategic points deep within Israel’s vital structures, cutting off the lifeblood of the Zionist regime. Targets included airbases, airports, Tel Aviv’s intelligence center, the Mossad headquarters, Haifa’s Ministry of Interior, Israeli military intelligence buildings, the Weizmann Institute, Rafael Research Center, Israeli biological research facilities, oil installations, ports, gas fields, refineries, and more [5].

From the outset of Israel’s attack on Iran, the Zionist regime coordinated all its plans and strategies with the leadership of the senior officials of the U.S and the President Trump. Weapons, missiles, and military equipment were purchased from the U.S. [6], and Israeli assets were transferred there to keep them safe from the war. In fact, the main commander of Israel’s attack on Iran was the United States, with Israel merely acting as a mad lackey.

In the final days of the Twelve-Day War, as Israel’s situation became desperate and the regime faced its impending collapse, its perennial savior—the U.S.—intervened. The U.S. launched a direct military attack on Iran by striking the Fordow nuclear facility, attempting to distract global attention from Israel’s humiliating defeat. However, due to Iran’s reliance on divine guidance and strategic planning, these attacks were ineffective and caused minimal damage to Iran’s facilities. Witnessing their defeat and disgrace firsthand, the U.S. and Israel requested a ceasefire. At Trump’s behest, a temporary ceasefire was established between Iran and Israel on June 23, 2025 [7].

Yemen’s Role in the Iran-Israel Confrontation

While the world was stunned by the news of Israel’s attack on Iran, as usual, most of the world’s two-faced politicians and statesmen either remained silent or attempted to deceive global public opinion with token statements and hollow protests. However, as always, the governments that emerged with honor from this trial were those whose monotheistic hearts were deeply and divinely connected with the brave men and women of Iran.

The fearless and heroic fighters of Yemen stood fully in the battlefield of the struggle between truth and falsehood, courageously joining their Iranian brothers in this crucial confrontation. Unlike many friendly and neighboring countries that only implicitly expressed friendship, support, and solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran, Yemen explicitly issued a statement, far from hypocrisy and deceit [8].

Yemen did not stop even at words and declarations; despite limited military equipment, it entered the harsh, dangerous, and close-quarters warfare—a battle in which the world openly or covertly opposed Iran. Israeli sources reported that their positions were simultaneously targeted by missile and drone attacks from both Iranian and Yemeni fronts. Yemen made its position clear, announcing it would not back down from attacking Israel, even if under attack itself. The American magazine Newsweek cited a source within Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, reporting that they were prepared to continue drone and missile attacks against the Zionist occupiers [9].

Yemen’s strategic location is extraordinarily significant. Despite infrastructural weaknesses, blockade, severe sanctions, and the hardships of eight years of intense war with Saudi Arabia, Yemen still is a major concern for global opportunists and aggressors. Even a minor military strike by Yemeni forces on the U.S. bases in West Asia imposes huge costs on Americans and Saudis alike, as Yemen’s proximity to these bases makes attacks relatively easy. These brave men fear nothing and boldly state in their declarations, “We are all projects of martyrdom” [10].

Yemen has long proven its loyalty and steadfastness in defending truth and fighting oppression. The extensive aerial attacks by the U.S. and the U.K., including fifty-three days of intense bombing, failed to stop Yemen’s attacks in defense of Gaza. Eventually, the Trump administration was forced into a ceasefire, suffering heavy losses including three fighter jets [11]. Yet, Yemen explicitly declared that its attacks against Israel would not cease.

In this context, Israeli sources speak of Tel Aviv’s confusion over how to deal with this “problem.” The deep connection between Yemenis and Iranians is no secret. Different newspapers reported that Yemen possesses advanced Iranian missiles and warned against underestimating them [12]. Despite its weak infrastructure, economic challenges, and multiple crises, Yemen’s strong faith has disrupted the peace of the U.S. and Israel, becoming a major obstacle to Zionist goals and the pride of these shadow superpowers.

Their ships are no longer safe and secure from Yemeni attacks, which have been thwarted by Yemen. The satanic front is helpless against the unwavering faith of the Yemeni people.

The Response of the Free Minded People of the World to the Twelve-Day War

In the events surrounding Israel’s attack on Iran, the role of Lebanon’s Hezbollah must not be neglected—though its form and timing differed somewhat from Yemen’s support for the Iranian people. Hezbollah has long declared its brotherhood with the Islamic Republic of Iran and has always sought to throw itself in the line of fire for Iran and to be devoted to it. However, in recent years, Hezbollah had been severely strained. By the time of the Twelve-Day War triggered by Israel’s attack on Iran, Hezbollah was considerably weakened. It had endured years of conflict and pressure, suffered heavy losses—including many leaders and commanders—and was in the process of regrouping and recovering. Therefore, Hezbollah’s capacity to provide significant military support to Islamic Republic of Iran during the Israel’s attack on Iran was limited. Still, it never ceased its verbal, heartfelt, and psychological support for Iran.

It is important to recognize that it was not only the countries of the Resistance Axis that joined the monotheistic and justice-centered Islamic Republic of Iran front. Courageous and freedom-loving men and women from across the globe—representing various nationalities, races, and religions—united in support of Iran’s righteous cause. They organized prominent demonstrations and marches, stood against their own corrupt and self-serving governments, and transformed cyberspace into a battleground through their serious and creative support for Iran [13].

During Israel’s attack on Iran, while Iran was striking back and preparing the occupied Palestinian territories for the return of their rightful owners, the free people of the world, who despite their differences embraced a heart open to truth, not only came to awareness themselves but also awakened others who were still asleep.

The Zionist regime and its illegitimate godfather, the United States, acted recklessly with their blatant aggression, hoping to eliminate the greatest obstacle to their satanic rule on Earth—Iran. Unaware that the hand of God is above all hands. In Israel’s attack on Iran, not only did Iranians grow more steadfast on the path of justice and more determined to defeat their enemy, but the free people of the world became united as one proud Iranian spirit, deciding to stand alongside the Islamic Republic of Iran on the way to the downfall of Satan.

The Secret Behind the Perpetual War of the U.S. and Israel Against Iran

Sometimes the surface of a story distracts us so much that we lose sight of its deeper truth and essence. For years, the world’s attention has been drawn to the saber rattling of the United States and Israel. Many have wondered why Iran resists the U.S. and Israel so fiercely. Why does Iran, unlike many other countries, refuse to remain indifferent in the face of their arrogance, selfishness, oppression, and imperialism?

As stated, the battle between truth and falsehood, the conflict between good and evil, has existed since the creation of humanity and will continue until the establishment of the Noble Rule of the Righteous by the Promised Savior. From the day humans were created until the promised day of the Savior’s advent, every individual—through their decisions, thoughts, associations, and stances—decides whether to stand with the forces of truth or falsehood, to fight under the banner of monotheism or serve the army of Satan.

This battle, which began at the dawn of creation, continues in every era and period. It intensifies in the End Times, and as we draw nearer to the time of the advent of the Promised Savior, the final confrontation grows fiercer, and the ultimate fate of these two sides and their followers is going to be identified.

Now, as we stand on the final moments of the End Times, at the brink of the Savior’s advent, the armies of truth and falsehood have become clearly distinct, and their commanders identified. The army of falsehood seeks, at any cost, to establish Satan’s dominion over the world. Meanwhile, the army of truth strives to bring forth the Promised Savior and establish God’s rule on Earth. In this final battle, Iran is the heart of the monotheistic and righteous front, while the heart of arrogance and falsehood consists of the United States and Israel. Today, anyone who aligns their thoughts, hearts, and actions with Iran’s front and joins it becomes a member of the army of monotheism. Conversely, anyone who agrees with, supports, or reflects the ideology and essence of the U.S. and Israel through thought, heart, or deed becomes a member of Satan’s army.

Although the Resistance Axis is not limited to Iran alone, Iran remains its vital lifeline. Iran breathed monotheistic life into the Resistance Front and taught its people that resistance without divine intention and reliance on God, while noble, is meaningless and out of animal desires. Without divine monotheism and faith in a divinely guided leadership—one who is an expert in spiritual affairs and free from any error or sin—even resistance and struggle may become destructive and have devastating outcomes.

The Islamic Revolution of Iran has cleansed resistance from selfishness, misguidance, sectarianism, and fragmentation. Over time, it has gathered the righteous of the world around the mission of destroying Satan’s army, seeking the Promised Savior and striving for his eventual advent. This mission has long disrupted the peace of the armies of Satan. Zionism clearly understands that its dream of owning Jerusalem and establishing a global Jewish dominion is being shattered by Iran.

Meanwhile, the United States has long been feeling the pain of having its ‘global village chieftainship’ and arrogance slowly gnawed away by the righteous Iranian of the End Times. It knows well that the corrupt tree of Imperialism will soon be cut down and wither. The problem the U.S. has with Iran is not based on trivial excuses like missiles or nuclear weapons, as many countries stronger than Iran openly flaunt similar capabilities. The real fear lies in Iran’s belief in the Promised Savior—Mahdism—and the valorous sense of honor inspired by Imam Ali (Peace be upon him). The U.S. is terrified of the ideology of awaiting a divine Savior and the establishment of God’s rule on Earth [14]. They witness how Iranians, with divine intention, have united the righteous of the End Times, equipping themselves with faith, and advancements in military, political, and scientific fields to pave the way for the arrival of the Promised Savior—the one whose advent will mark the end of oppression and bring solace to the oppressed and downtrodden of the world.
