• IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told CBS News that strikes on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan inflicted severe but not total damage and warned enrichment could resume in a few months.
• A leaked preliminary Pentagon report and intercepted Iranian calls indicated that facility entrances were sealed yet key underground structures remained intact, suggesting only a months-long setback.
• President Trump reaffirmed that the raids had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear ambitions, dismissed contrary assessments as fake news and pledged to investigate intelligence leaks.
• Iran’s UN ambassador Amir-Saeid Iravani declared enrichment an inalienable NPT right, asserting that uranium processing would “never stop” despite the bombings.
• A fragile ceasefire brokered June 23 remains in force as US-mediated talks are set to resume under Tehran’s demand for guarantees against further strikes.
