Overview

  • US and Israel launched Operation Midnight Hammer, deploying 12 GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs at Fordow, two at Natanz and Tomahawk missiles at Isfahan.
  • A Defense Intelligence Agency assessment contradicts President Trump’s claim of total obliteration by finding centrifuge halls largely intact and restorable within months.
  • Satellite imagery and expert analysis indicate Iran likely moved enriched uranium and centrifuges out of strike zones before the raids.
  • The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran officially announced its nuclear program will resume without interruption and stands ready to restart enrichment.
  • A US-brokered ceasefire is holding despite mutual accusations of violations; the White House has condemned leaks of the DIA assessment and called for an investigation.
