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.
Festivals and Public Events:
* Download Festival is taking place at Donington Park, UK, from June 13-15, 2025. It’s described as the UK’s premier rock festival.
* The Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival in Cornwall, UK, is running from June 13-15, 2025. It’s a free nautical music and song festival.
* London Tech Week 2025 is also scheduled for today at the Olympia Conference Centre in London.
* Various other festivals are ongoing in June 2025 across the UK and internationally, including NOVA ROCK Festival in Austria and Eden Festival in Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland.

It’s important to note that the geopolitical situation is a developing story.
