Israel's strikes on Iran came during the ongoing Gaza war and its broader regional implications, including Israeli military activity in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and the occupied West Bank. They also came in the context of a risk of famine and humanitarian crisis in the blockaded Gaza Strip that a growing number of scholars and human rights organizations have described as a genocide.{{Cite news |last1=Laarhoven |first1=Kasper van |last2=Peek |first2=Eva |last3=Walters |first3=Derk |date=2025-05-14 |title=Zeven gerenommeerde wetenschappers vrijwel eensgezind: Israël pleegt in Gaza genocide |url=https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/05/14/zeven-gerenommeerde-wetenschappers-vrijwel-eensgezind-israel-pleegt-in-gaza-genocide-a4893293 |access-date=2025-06-23 |work=NRC |language=nl-NL}}{{Cite web |last=Sondos |first=Asem |title=Top genocide scholars unanimous that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza: Dutch investigation |url=https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/top-genocide-scholars-unanimous-israel-committing-genocide-gaza-investigation-finds |access-date=2025-06-23 |website=Middle East Eye |language=en}}

In 2024, the two countries attacked each other openly and directly for the first time following decades of proxy conflict. In April 2024, an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus killed Iranian officers. Iran retaliated with strikes on Israel in April 2024, to which Israel then retaliated with strikes on Iran. In July 2024, Israel assassinated Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran's capital Tehran, and then assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and prominent IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan in Lebanon in September 2024. In October 2024, Iran struck Israel, and Israel struck Iran. The latter Israeli strikes destroyed Iran's Russian-supplied defensive S-300 missile system, paving the way for potential future Israeli strikes.{{cite web |last1=Hinz |first1=Fabian |title=Israel's attack and the limits of Iran's missile strategy |url=https://www.iiss.org/online-analysis/online-analysis/2025/06/israels-attack-and-the-limits-of-irans-missile-strategy/ |website=International Institute for Strategic Studies |date=18 June 2025}}

Israel has fought wars with Iranian proxies including against Hezbollah since the 1982 Lebanon War. In the October 7 attacks in 2023, Hamas, an Iranian proxy in Gaza, started the Gaza war, following which Israel severely weakened both Hamas and fellow Iranian proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon, while also attacking the Houthis in Yemen. This is said to have weakened Iranian deterrence and increased Iranian isolation.

Netanyahu announced the launch of Operation Rising Lion, targeting Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz, its nuclear scientists, and parts of its ballistic missile program. Netanyahu described Iran's nuclear efforts as "a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival", and emphasized that in acting, "we also defend our Arab neighbors" from Iranian aggression. He said the operation would continue "for as many days as it takes".{{Cite news |last1=Liebermann |first1=Oren |author-link1=Oren Liebermann |last2=Diamond |first2=Jeremy |author-link2=Jeremy Diamond |last3=Regan |first3=Helen |last4=Gan |first4=Nectar |last5=Lau |first5=Chris |last6=Izso |first6=Lauren |last7=Michaelis |first7=Tamar |last8=Blackburn |first8=Piper Hudspeth |last9=Mogul |first9=Rhea |last10=Yeung |first10=Jessie |last11=Ebrahim |first11=Nadeen |last12=Salem |first12=Mostafa |last13=Sangal |first13=Aditi |last14=Powell |first14=Tori B. |display-authors=1 |date=14 June 2025 |title=More explosions in Tel Aviv and Tehran as Israel-Iran conflict escalates |url=https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-strikes-news-06-12-25-hnk-intl |access-date=14 June 2025 |work=CNN |language=en}}

According to former senior US official and nuclear weapons expert Richard Nephew, the current location of Iran's stockpile is unknown, and the US cannot have "any real confidence" that it would be able to target it in further strikes. He said: "I think you would be foolish if you said that [Iran's nuclear] programme was delayed by anything more than a few months." Former Iran specialist at Mossad Sima Shine agreed that Iran would have moved its enriched material.

Analysts, such as Nicholas Miller, a non-proliferation expert at Dartmouth College, have suggested that Iran's ambitions for a nuclear deterrent will likely be strengthened by the conflict.

The United Nations Security Council meeting on 13 June concluded with statements from Iran's and Israel's respective ambassadors to the UN. The Iranian ambassador Amir-Saeid Iravani stated that Israel's attacks constituted a declaration of war, accusing Israel of premeditated aggression and of a direct violation of the UN Charter. The Israeli ambassador Danny Danon presented the attacks as "self-preservation for the state of Israel", asserted that they were prompted by a failure of diplomacy, and declared that he had come to seek "recognition that the international community has failed to stop Iran's nuclear programme".{{cite news |last=Elizondo |first=Gabriel |date=13 June 2025 |title=Iran and Israel's ambassadors were the last to speak at the UNSC |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/6/13/live-explosions-reported-in-iran-amid-israel-tensions?update=3773330 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250614000512/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/6/13/live-explosions-reported-in-iran-amid-israel-tensions?update=3773330 |archive-date=14 June 2025 |access-date=14 June 2025 |work=Al Jazeera English}} Following the attack, diplomatic talks about nuclear energy between US and Iran which were scheduled to take place in Oman were indefinitely suspended.{{Cite web |last=Crisp |first=Elizabeth |date=13 June 2025 |title=Iran pulls out of nuclear talks with the US |url=https://thehill.com/policy/international/5348689-iran-nuclear-deal-talks-suspended/ |website=The Hill}}

BBC Verify reported on 21 June that "a wave of disinformation has been unleashed online" following Israel's strikes on Iran, including AI-generated videos that boasted of Iran's military capabilities. Pro-Palestinian social media accounts shared a video with over 21 million views that falsely claimed to show an Israeli F-35 being shot down, but the footage was actually from a flight simulator video game and was later removed by TikTok. According to an analyst for Alethea, the surge in such content is linked to Russian influence networks that have shifted focus from undermining support for Ukraine to spreading doubt about the effectiveness of Western, especially American, military technology. She noted that since Russia lacks a direct counter to the F-35, it instead aims to weaken support for the aircraft through disinformation. Pro-Israel social media accounts also circulated old clips of Iranian protests and gatherings, falsely claiming they showed increasing Iranian support for Israel's campaign.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0k78715enxo|title=Israel-Iran conflict unleashes wave of AI disinformation|date=21 June 2025|website=BBC News|last1=Murphy|first1=Matt|last2=Robinson|first2=Olga|last3=Sardarizadeh|first3=Shayan}}

After Israel's 13 June strike, AI-manipulated video clips of Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif, former IRGC commander-in-chief Mohsen Rezaei and Trump which were seemingly aimed at depicting Pakistan as Iran's accomplice were posted online and subsequently picked up by media outlets such as the Daily Mail, Indian adversarial media and Arab news networks.{{Cite news|url=https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/3315271/pakistan-gets-caught-iran-israel-disinformation-crossfire|title=Pakistan gets caught in Iran-Israel disinformation crossfire|last=Hussain|first=Tom|date=21 June 2025|work=South China Morning Post}} The Tehran Times posted a video generated using Veo that was claimed to show destruction in Tel Aviv.{{Cite news|url=https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-ai-chatbot-grok-wrongly-identifies-old-iraq-footage-as-2025-iran-israel-conflict/a-72950293|title=Fact check: Old war videos recycled as fake news|last1=Steinwehr|first1=Uta|date=18 June 2025|last2=Sidibe|first2=Adnan|work=Deutsche Welle}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/iran-israel-fighting-distorted-by-tech-fuelled-misinformation/article69720141.ece|title=Iran-Israel fighting distorted by tech-fuelled misinformation|date=21 June 2025|agency=Agence France-Presse|work=The Hindu}}

Grok, an AI chatbot developed by xAI, falsely identified the fake videos as authentic footage of the war in some cases.
