Overview

  • On June 21, Operation Midnight Hammer targeted Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan facilities with bunker-busting bombs.
  • IAEA officials warn the strikes caused severe damage but say it will take time to determine the full extent of destruction.
  • Iran launched minimal, prewarned missile fire at a U.S. base in Qatar with most projectiles intercepted and no reported casualties.
  • Satellite imagery showed trucks lining up at Fordow days before the strikes, suggesting Tehran may have moved key stockpiles.
  • Neither Israel nor Iran appears fully committed to the ceasefire brokered by Trump, leaving regional tensions unresolved.
