Iran retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones directed at Israel.In Israel, 28 people died and over 3,000 were injured, according to Israel's Health Ministry. Iranian state media reported that 627 people died and at least 4,870 were wounded in Iran.Whether the US and Israel succeeded in halting Iran's nuclear program remains unclear. The White House maintains that Iran's nuclear facilities were "obliterated," while a classified US intelligence assessment reported that the attacks may have only delayed Iran's developments by a few months.Photos show the aftermath of the war in Israel and Iran.On June 13, Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran targeting its nuclear and military facilities.Damaged buildings in Nobonyad Square in Tehran, Iran, following Israeli airstrikes.Majid Saeedi/Getty ImagesIsrael also struck the homes of Iranian nuclear scientists in Tehran and Marzdaran.Buildings in the residential areas of the Gisha and Marzdaran districts, where Iranian nuclear scientists were killed in drone strikes.Fatemeh Bahrami/Anadolu via Getty ImagesThe airstrikes left gaping holes in residential buildings in Tehran.The view from a living room of a residential building in Tehran that was destroyed in Israeli airstrikes.Majid Saeedi/Getty ImagesIran responded with retaliatory strikes aimed at Israel.Iran's retaliatory strikes hit Tel Aviv, Israel.Anadolu/Anadolu via Getty ImagesIsraeli air defense systems intercepted some of the incoming surface-to-surface missiles, but some hit their targets.Israeli air defense systems were activated to intercept Iranian missiles over the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP via Getty ImagesIranian missiles damaged buildings and wounded civilians in the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, and Bnei Brak.Rescuers stood amid the debris of damaged buildings in Tel Aviv following an Iranian missile attack.MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP via Getty ImagesIsrael struck an Iranian state media building in Tehran on June 16, calling it a "terror-linked propaganda infrastructure."Smoke rose from the rubble of an Iranian state media building in Tehran after an Israeli airstrike.NIKAN/Middle East Images/AFP via Getty ImagesIsrael also bombed Evin Prison in Tehran, known for imprisoning political dissidents and journalists.Israel struck Evin Prison in Tehran, Iran.NIKAN/Middle East Images/AFP via Getty ImagesVehicles jammed highways in Iran as residents fled Tehran.Fires blazed in the oil depots of Shahran, northwest of Tehran.ATTA KENARE/AFP via Getty ImagesTel Aviv canceled its annual Pride Parade as Israeli citizens were ordered to shelter in place.An empty street in Tel Aviv.JACK GUEZ/AFP via Getty ImagesParking garages and underground stations across Israel became temporary bomb shelters.Israelis sheltered in an underground transit station during an Iranian missile attack.Ilia Yefimovich/picture alliance via Getty ImagesAn Iranian missile hit Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba on June 19, injuring 71, according to Israel's Health Ministry.Damage at the Soroka hospital premises after it was hit by an Iranian missile.Ilia Yefimovich/picture alliance via Getty ImagesSmoke lingered in the skies of Tehran as Israel continued its bombing of Iran.Smoke in the sky above Tehran following an Israeli strike.AFP via Getty ImagesStores were shuttered at Tehran's Grand Bazaar as Iranians took cover from Israeli airstrikes.Closed shops at the Grand Bazaar in Tehran, Iran.Fatemeh Bahrami/Anadolu via Getty ImagesBusinesses like beauty salons were demolished in the strikes on Tehran.A damaged beauty salon in the Gisha neighborhood of Tehran, Iran.Majid Saeedi/Getty ImagesFire was visible in the mountains of Shiraz, where the Israel Defense Forces said they struck a missile launch site.Smoke rose from an alleged missile launch site targeted by Israel in the mountains of Shiraz, Iran.HIROON/Middle East Images/AFP via Getty ImagesSatellite imagery showed damage done to Iranian nuclear sites, including a nuclear technology center in Isfahan.Satellite imagery showed extensive building damage across the Isfahan nuclear technology center.Maxar TechnologiesAfter the US joined the fray and dropped "bunker buster" bombs on Iranian nuclear sites, Iran retaliated by launching missiles at a US military base in Qatar, all of which were intercepted.The remnants of an Iranian missile intercepted over Qatar.AFPTV/AFP via Getty ImagesA ceasefire agreement was reached on June 24, bringing the 12 days of fighting to a halt.Citizens celebrated the ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel at Revolution Square in Tehran.Fatemeh Bahrami/Anadolu via Getty ImagesWith a ceasefire in place, both countries began clearing the wreckage of destroyed buildings and burying their dead.The funeral of three people who were killed in Israel's attack in Kermanshah and Tehran.Reza/Middle East Images via AFPStreets in Iran and Israel slowly returned to normal.The promenade in Tel Aviv following a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.FADEL SENNA/AFP via Getty ImagesRead the original article on Business Insider
