1. 🔥 Conflict in Brief
In mid-June 2025, Israel and Iran began a 12-day, high-stress military conflict that Israeli soldiers called Operation Rising Lion. Israel conducted extensive airstrikes across Iran, focusing on military locations close to Tehran and Qom, nuclear facilities (Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan), and key infrastructure such as the Shahran oil storage and South Pars gas field.

Targeting IRGC and Quds Force officials, such as Saeed Izadi and Behnam Shahriyari, is one way to damage Iran's military network via high-value eliminations, according to timesofisrael.com.

Iran's counterattacks:

Israel was targeted by more than 500 missiles and drones, most of which were intercepted by air defenses. Soroka Hospital was harmed by a significant strike.

Communication was disrupted by widespread fear, mass relocation, energy shortages, traffic jams, and an almost complete statewide internet outage (97% loss).

Tehran kills suspected spies and arrests 700+ people as domestic security tightens; censorship and monitoring increase (WashingtonPost.com).

Over 5,000 people are displaced, 24 civilians are murdered by Iranian missile attacks, and others are wounded in a hospital hit.

4. Impact on Israel's Economy and Energy:

After deescalation, markets recovered despite war-related losses of almost 8 billion shekels, or $2.4 billion. With the possibility of interest rate reductions and new regional trade connections, the shekel gained almost 8%.

Iran:

Rebuilding energy and military infrastructure would cost tens of billions of dollars; the value of the rial has fallen more than 90% since 2018; and the cost of warfare missile activities is billions, further taxing an already fragile economy en.wikipedia.org.

Oil markets are uneasy as a result of Hormuz geopolitical threats, which caused price volatility on Sunday.

5. The Implications of Diplomacy and Nuclear
IAEA disengagement: Following the Israeli-US attacks, Iran halted its cooperation with the IAEA and refused investigators entry to Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Negotiations with the US are on hold, despite the country still being a signatory to the NPT en.wikipedia.org+5 apnews.com+5 wsj.com+5.

International and European diplomacy:

To convince Iran to restore IAEA cooperation, French President Macron spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

U.S. strategy: Hawk-leaning voices suggest a "strategic sequencing" approach, which would reallocate U.S. priority to other global issues while using limited military action to pressure Iran.

6. Present Situation & Prospects
De-escalation in progress: Israeli commanders point to strategic victories as fighting slows, and Trump has announced a preliminary deal to a 60-day truce in Gaza.
theguardian.com.

Fragile calm: Iran is still making arrests, nuclear negotiations are on hold, and strategic pressure (proxy attacks, mining threats) is still strong. Iran's economic instability and Israel's social and living-cost constraints are internal conflicts for both countries.

Ahead, keep an eye out for:

Will Iran increase enrichment or re-engage with the IAEA?

Can modern diplomacy be facilitated by European middlemen?

Will regional players use agreements akin to the Abraham-Accords to solidify the new normalcy?

Conclusion
One of the most significant direct military conflicts in decades, the June–July 2025 Iran–Israel conflict will include strategic attacks, civilian casualties, economic repercussions, and diplomatic rifts. The state of affairs is still very unstable even if overt large-scale conflicts are decreasing. In addition to both sides tactically recalibrating, nuclear monitoring has been discontinued. Effective diplomatic interventions and abstention from wider regional escalation are essential on the route to long-term stability.
