Overview

• US airstrikes on June 22 targeted Iran’s Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan sites, inflicting significant but incomplete damage on its nuclear infrastructure according to American intelligence sources.
• Iran retaliated with roughly 40 missiles aimed at Israeli population centers and the Al-Udeid base in Qatar, all of which were intercepted without causing casualties.
• The hostilities caused at least 610 civilian deaths and 4,700 injuries in Iran and 28 fatalities in Israel, triggering European nations to evacuate thousands of citizens.
• A UN Security Council emergency session exposed sharp divisions over the legality of US and Israeli strikes as the UN secretary-general warned against a self-perpetuating cycle of reprisals.
• Under the truce, both Iran and Israel have claimed victory and diplomatic channels are set to revisit negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program and regional security guarantees.
