Overview

• President Trump ordered GBU-57 bunker-buster strikes on June 21 against two Iranian nuclear facilities to disrupt Tehran’s alleged bomb-making efforts.
• Preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency findings indicate the raids sealed facility entrances but left underground structures intact, delaying Iran’s program by only months.
• Andrew Kloster, general counsel at the Office of Personnel Management, publicly labeled the strikes “pointless” and suggested deep state influence before deleting his remarks.
• Trump brokered a ceasefire between Iran and Israel on June 23, but emerging reports of violations the next day have tested the truce’s durability.
• Kloster’s deleted posts reflect broader unease among Trump’s non-interventionist supporters over extended US military involvement in the region.
