Twelve-Day War (June 2025)

In the official Iranian account, the Twelve-Day War was the June 2025 military confrontation between Iran on one side and Israel and the United States on the other.

Per this account, after Israel struck Iranian facilities, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic responded under the "True Promise" operations, firing hundreds of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones at designated targets. Iranian military officials stress that — unlike the start of the eight-year war — there was no "strategic surprise" this time and forces were fully positioned in advance.

The Iranian narrative describes the episode as a deterrent victory that shifted the regional balance. Reported casualty and damage figures differ across sources.
