Collateral Damage: An Analysis of the Industrial Impact of the 12-Day War on Iran and Israel

ABSTRACT: The 12-Day War between Iran and Israel, spanning June 12 to June 24, 2025, marked a significant escalation in regional tensions, with profound industrial repercussions. This paper examines the collateral damage to industrial sectors in both nations, focusing on energy, manufacturing, technology, and infrastructure. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we analyze the economic, operational, and supply chain disruptions caused by missile strikes, cyberattacks, and targeted infrastructure attacks. The study highlights the disproportionate impact on Iran's energy sector and Israel's high-tech industry, with long-term implications for regional economic stability. We propose innovative recovery strategies, including resilient supply chain models and green industrial reconstruction, to mitigate future risks. Findings suggest that while both nations suffered significant losses, strategic rebuilding efforts could foster industrial innovation and regional cooperation.
