Overview

• The June 21 operation, dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer, saw B-2 bombers drop more than a dozen 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites.
• A preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency report, leaked to CNN and The New York Times, indicated the airstrikes likely delayed Iran’s nuclear program by only a few months.
• At a NATO summit press conference, President Trump read a letter from the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission asserting that Fordow’s critical infrastructure was rendered totally inoperable.
• White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt labeled the leak “flat-out wrong,” and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff called the disclosure “treasonous” and vowed an investigation.
• CNN’s Wolf Blitzer defended his network’s coverage of the DIA assessment and The New York Times affirmed its reporting after enduring Trump’s criticism.
