Overview
- President Trump announced on Truth Social that US B-2 bombers had struck the Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan nuclear facilities following a heads-up to Israel and a subsequent call with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
- Shortly after the announcement, Truth Social experienced a brief outage when the Iranian-aligned 313 Team launched a distributed denial-of-service attack on the platform.
- The 313 Team’s claim of responsibility was confirmed by multiple social media watchdogs and the cyber nonprofit Center for Internet Security.
- The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin warning that Iranian-affiliated actors may prioritize retaliatory cyberattacks against US networks over perceived US support for Israeli strikes.
- Congressional Republicans remained divided over the legality of the airstrikes, with some lawmakers questioning their constitutionality and others defending the president’s actions.
