Operation Rising Lion: Israel’s Masterstroke Against Iran – A Step-by-Step Account of Planning, Deception, and Execution

Operation Rising Lion: Israel’s Masterstroke Against Iran – A Step-by-Step Account of Planning, Deception, and Execution is a gripping, in-depth chronicle of one of the most audacious military operations in modern history. Authored by a leading expert on Middle Eastern geopolitics, this book dissects the events leading up to and during Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran’s nuclear program and military infrastructure in June 2025. Drawing on declassified intelligence, eyewitness accounts, and exclusive analyses, it reveals how years of covert preparation—including Mossad infiltrations, cyber sabotage, and pre-positioned drone swarms—culminated in a symphony of precision airstrikes, assassinations, and psychological warfare that crippled Iran’s command structure and set back its atomic ambitions by decades.From the biblical origins of the operation’s name to the high-stakes execution that neutralized key sites like Natanz and Fordow, the narrative unfolds in vivid detail across four parts: the strategic background, meticulous planning, intense execution over two weeks, and the far-reaching aftermath. Readers will explore the roles of regional proxies, Trump’s diplomatic ultimatum, and global repercussions, including U.S. involvement and reactions from allies and adversaries. Enhanced with appendices featuring timelines, maps, profiles of eliminated figures, and a glossary, this volume not only recounts a transformative conflict but also extracts timeless lessons on innovation, deterrence, and the fragile balance of power in a nuclear-shadowed world. Essential reading for historians, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the high-wire act of preemptive defense in an era of existential threats.Read more
