Overview

  • Iran fired a volley of ballistic missiles at U.S. airbases in Qatar and Iraq on June 23, but advance warnings allowed defenses to intercept the barrage without causing casualties.
  • President Trump said Israel and Iran will observe a “complete and total” 12-hour ceasefire that he said will bring the 12-day conflict to an end.
  • On June 20, U.S. bombers struck Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities in a 20-minute operation lauded by Trump as a “spectacular military success.”
  • Israel Defense Forces carried out their most extensive wave of strikes on Tehran, targeting the Evin prison and Revolutionary Guard command centers.
  • Global powers including Russia and China have urged de-escalation as oil markets remain volatile and Iran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz.
