What notable things happened today?
Personally, nothing as I’ve only just got up.
However, in the real world…
Today, June 13, 2025, several notable events are happening:
Geopolitical Events:
* Israeli strikes on Iran: Israel has reportedly initiated air strikes against Iranian military and nuclear sites, and carried out assassinations of top military officials and nuclear scientists. This has led to fears of a wider conflict in the region, with Iran vowing a “harsh response” and launching drones in retaliation.
