Israel’s June 13, 2025 Strike on Iran Aims to Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Program

The sources frame the wider “War on Gaza” context through Israel’s June 13, 2025 surprise attack on Iran, with the stated objective to destroy the nuclear program of its adversary and with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitting the operation could lead to the overthrow of the Islamic Republic.

In that same account, Donald Trump is described as joining Netanyahu “in signaling the possibility of a regime change” on the last day of the fighting, after Trump supported the strike from the start.

The Le Grand Continent piece also links Netanyahu’s stated regime-change aims to Gaza and beyond, saying “whether the target is Hamas in Gaza or Hezbollah in Lebanon.”

It adds that Trump has “intensified tensions with Iran” through actions including “assassinating its leaders” and “strengthening sanctions and sabotaging the 2015 nuclear deal on the basis of false allegations of non-compliance.”

In the Iran-focused coverage, L'Express reports that Benjamin Netanyahu dedicated his customary address at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting to the “popular uprising,” saying “Israel supports their struggle for freedom and strongly condemns the massacres of innocent civilians.”

On the Iranian side, L'Express says Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Israel of manipulation, asserting, “They are trying to push these peaceful protests into violence.”

The same article quotes Liraz Margalit in Maariv describing how Israel’s public embrace could give Khamenei a pretext, saying it “gives Khamenei the ideal pretext to transform freedom fighters into 'Zionist agents'.”

Together, the sources depict a dispute over whether external backing is helping or steering protest dynamics, with the Gaza-and-Iran framing tied to broader suspicions of foreign influence.

Euronews connects the “War on Gaza” era to domestic Israeli political controversy through Yair Netanyahu, described as living in Miami, Florida, after moving there in April 2023 while Israel mobilized “roughly 360,000 reserve soldiers.”

The piece says the controversy intensified after October 7, 2023, and it quotes the former Trump adviser’s call in its headline: “Send him to war,” aimed at deporting Netanyahu’s son from the United States.

Euronews also reports that Yair Netanyahu faces criticism for living abroad while reserve soldiers and Israeli youths take part in military confrontations, and it notes that he “enjoys ongoing security protection from the Israeli General Security Service (Shin Bet).”

In the same account, it says pressure included protests outside the building where he resides, demanding American authorities review his visa status, while the article adds that his legal status in the United States is a recurring point of contention.
