Overview

  • U.S. B-2 bombers dropped over a dozen 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, inflicting heavy above-ground damage
  • A preliminary DIA assessment concluded the strikes set Iran’s nuclear program back by only a few months and left key enrichment systems operational
  • Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt labeled the leaked report “fake news,” insisting the nuclear sites were completely obliterated
  • Special Envoy Steve Witkoff called the leak “treasonous” and demanded an investigation into the unauthorized disclosure
  • A ceasefire between Israel and Iran announced on June 23 has largely held as international observers evaluate the broader implications
