Iran-Israel conflict June 2025

On 12 June 2025, Israel launched a major military campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear, ballistic missile, and other military capabilities. Officially dubbed ‘Operation Rising Lion,’ the campaign involved large-scale airstrikes on targets throughout Iran. Hundreds of people were killed, including Iranian military officials, nuclear scientists, and many civilians. In response, Iran launched waves of ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, killing dozens. On June 22nd, the United States joined the conflict, striking three Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. On June 24th, a ceasefire was announced.

This page gathers together images of munitions used by Iran and Israel during the 12-day conflict that have been reviewed and added to the OSMP archive. It includes multiple images from neighbouring countries, including Syria — typically showing remnants of munitions that were intercepted in those territories or the remnants of interceptor missiles.

Analyst Note:
This image shows the top of the booster of an Arrow 3 interceptor missile, where it connects to the kill vehicle. The Arrow 3 was jointly developed by the United States and Israel, and first entered service in 2017. The date of manufacture marking (“DATE OF MFG: 05/2018”) indicates that this booster was produced in the year after the Arrow 3 first entered service. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
This image shows the booster of an Israeli Arrow 3 interceptor missile. The Arrow 3 is designed to engage ballistic missiles and is capable of exo-atmospheric interceptions. Once the booster is expended, it separates from the ‘kill vehicle’. The kill vehicle has a sustainer motor that propels it towards the incoming ballistic missile, and uses kinetic impact, rather than an explosive warhead, to disable or destroy its target. This is sometimes called the ‘hit-to-kill’ principle. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
This image shows a Mikholit that was ejected from the weapons pod of an Israeli Hermes 900 drone that was downed in Iran. This Hermes 900 drone had two weapons pod, each capable of carrying 4 Mikholit bombs. (ARES)
