Overview

• Israeli jets struck Iran’s top nuclear facility and multiple military bases, killing senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders including Hossein Salami and Mohammad Bagheri.
• In response, Iran launched barrages of missiles at Tel Aviv, many of which were intercepted by U.S.-supplied Patriot batteries and allied air defenses.
• President Trump confirmed that his administration knew of the Israeli operation in advance but asserted that American forces did not directly participate in the strikes.
• Tucker Carlson labeled Trump “complicit” in the air campaign and targeted fellow conservatives like Sean Hannity and Mark Levin as “warmongers” for pressing U.S. military involvement.
• Iran pulled out of scheduled nuclear talks in Oman after the attacks, deepening questions over the administration’s next diplomatic steps.
