Iran, Israel Exchange Dozens Drones, Missiles Across Iran, Iraq, Israel

Amid escalating conflict between Israel and Iran in June 2025, Iran's air defenses have actively engaged Israeli drones, reportedly shooting down multiple unmanned aerial vehicles near Mashhad Airport and in western regions such as Dehloran and Ilam Province. Iran responded to Israeli airstrikes that killed senior military leaders and nuclear scientists by launching over 150 ballistic missiles and more than 100 drones toward Israeli cities, causing civilian casualties and damage. Israel's Defense Forces retaliated by killing Iranian soldiers who fired anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli drones, as confirmed by IDF officials. Additionally, two Iranian drones en route to Israel were intercepted and shot down over Iraq by the US-led coalition, highlighting the conflict's regional spillover and the complexities involving US forces stationed in Iraq. The ongoing exchanges have resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with Iran reporting over 900 injured and 128 dead, while Israel reports 24 fatalities. These developments underscore the deepening military confrontation between the two nations, with warnings from Iraqi allied groups against foreign intervention in the conflict.
