12-Day War

Last updated: May 30, 2026

The 12-Day War refers to Israel’s military campaign against Iran in June 2025, a conflict with significant implications for the South Caucasus region that Groong covers. Iran shares a border with Armenia and has historically served as a counterweight to Azerbaijan and Turkey in regional affairs, making the conflict directly relevant to Armenian security and foreign policy calculations.

Groong episodes on the 12-Day War examine the military and diplomatic dimensions of the Israel-Iran confrontation, the role of the United States under the Trump administration, and what a weakened or destabilized Iran means for Armenia’s strategic position — particularly regarding the Zangezur corridor dispute and the balance of power between Yerevan, Baku, and Ankara.
