Overview

• Rafael Grossi, director of the IAEA, warned that Iran could resume uranium enrichment at its damaged facilities within months because industrial capacity and technical know-how remain intact.
• A leaked Pentagon DIA report and intercepted communications between senior Iranian officials have cast doubt on President Trump’s claim that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program.
• President Trump has rejected evidence of pre-strike uranium relocation and praised the precision of Operation Midnight Hammer while keeping open both diplomatic talks and the option of further military action.
• US and Israeli forces struck underground sites at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan with bunker-busting bombs and missiles, but analysts differ on whether the program was set back by months or years.
• Washington and Tehran are weighing diplomatic overtures and potential IAEA inspections to confirm the extent of damage as the tentative ceasefire remains in place.
