Morning news wrap: US strikes Iran's nuclear facilities; panel probing Judge Varma's fire spots 'unidentified man' near burnt cash and more
Sunday, 22 June 2025 Early Sunday, the US military launched airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, marking direct U.S. involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. President Trump hailed the operation as a "spectacular military success," emphasizing the significant damage inflicted on Iran's nuclear infrastructure. The attack on Fordow involved the use of powerful bunker-buster bombs.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu signaled a break from U.S. President Donald Trump, declaring Israel is ready to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities—alone if necessary. As war enters its second week, Netanyahu asserted Israel doesn't need U.S. approval to strike sites like Fordow. Trump remains...
Iran's General Gheybpavar Dies Mysteriously, Israel's Hit On 20 Top Commanders Exposed | World News
The Middle East is on high alert as the shadow war between Iran and Israel erupts into open conflict, with Tehran now mourning the loss of a key military figure.
In a major development, prominent Iranian Brigadier General Gholamhossein Gheybpavar has died. While initial reports from Iran's Fars News Agency attribute his death to long-standing chemical injuries from the Iran-Iraq war, the timing raises critical questions. His passing comes in the immediate aftermath of "Operation Rising Lion," a massive, covert Israeli operation on June 13 that has reportedly sparked a full-scale war between the two nations. This operation is said to be the cause of death for nearly 20 other top Iranian commanders, making Gheybpavar's death highly suspicious.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) allegedly targeted critical Iranian infrastructure, including nuclear facilities, missile sites, and military bases across Tehran, Natanz, and Isfahan. The strikes were precise and devastating, with raids in Tabriz, Kermanshah, and Tehran successfully eliminating a significant portion of Iran's senior military leadership. This has created a power vacuum and a crisis within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Brig. Gen. Gheybpavar was a formidable figure in Iran's military establishment, having previously led the powerful Basij paramilitary force and the IRGC's Fajr Corps. His death leaves a significant void, even as Iran scrambles to fill key leadership roles with a new generation of officers. The situation remains tense and unpredictable, with the world watching to see what happens next in the escalating Iran-Israel conflict.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has raised alarming concerns over “reckless” U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites between June 13–25. Speaking at the BRICS Summit in Rio, Araghchi warned of irreparable ecological damage and long-term health risks to millions. He called the joint attacks illegal, citing violations of IAEA safeguards and NPT principles. While the U.S. claims the Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow sites were destroyed, Iran denies major damage and insists its nuclear program is peaceful.

Iran Nuclear Attack – three words that shook global diplomacy. Operation Midnight Hammer was launched with precision and power, featuring U.S. B-2 bombers striking Iran’s nuclear triangle: Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. President Trump called it a historic triumph, even comparing it to Hiroshima. But was the Iran Nuclear Attack really a knockout punch?
Now, intelligence reports challenge that claim — revealing that Iran’s key assets like enriched uranium and centrifuges were possibly moved before the bombs fell. With the Iran Nuclear Attack now in question, the world waits for clarity. Was it symbolic, strategic, or simply overstated?

U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities have triggered a new wave of concern, not just geopolitically—but environmentally. According to a shocking new IAEA report, the use of massive 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs may have caused localized radiation and chemical contamination at Iran’s Fordo and Natanz enrichment sites.

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future.

400 kilograms of enriched uranium—gone. After joint airstrikes by Israel and the U.S. on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the world is left asking: Where is the uranium? Did Iran move it in time? Was it destroyed in the strikes? Or is it now scattered across secret sites, ready for weaponization?
In this video, we break down:
What happened during the June 13 airstrikes
Satellite images and intel reports from Fordow and Isfahan
Why the IAEA is being denied access
Theories behind the uranium’s disappearance
And what this mystery means for global diplomacy, nuclear security, and the next phase of U.S.-Iran tensions.

A new video shows an Israeli drone crossing into Lebanon near Haddatha village, signaling potential further strikes on Hezbollah targets. Israel has carried out multiple drone operations, targeting alleged operatives and rocket sites, while critics accuse it of endangering civilians. The campaign aims to enforce the November 2024 ceasefire, demilitarize Hezbollah, and weaken Iran’s regional influence. Diplomatic pressure from the U.S. and France is ongoing, but Hezbollah continues to resist disarmament. Netanyahu’s operations are escalating tensions, destabilizing local governance, and drawing international scrutiny.

In a chilling echo of the October 7 attacks, 18 Hamas fighters launched a brazen assault on an IDF military base, attempting to breach defenses and abduct Israeli soldiers. The fighters reportedly tried to replicate the shock tactics of last year’s attack, triggering a fierce firefight with Israeli forces.
According to early reports, the attackers were heavily armed and sought to seize hostages, but the plot was foiled after a rapid Israeli military response. The IDF confirmed clashes at the base, underscoring ongoing security threats and the high stakes of the conflict.

Trump revealed that Israeli agents who surveyed Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility after a recent strike reported “complete obliteration.” Speaking at a political event, Trump stated, “They have guys that go in there after the hit... and they’re saying it was total obliteration.” The remarks come amid growing speculation over the scale and effectiveness of recent U.S.-Israeli military coordination targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Fordow, one of Iran’s most fortified and secretive nuclear sites, has long been a flashpoint in the West’s confrontation with Tehran.

Amid growing U.S. pressure over India’s purchases of Russian oil, Moscow has offered India a 5% discount to soften the impact of American tariffs. Russian diplomat Roman Babushkin criticized the U.S. for unjustified pressure and accused Western nations of acting like neocolonial powers. He emphasized that Russia remains India’s biggest crude supplier and that energy cooperation between the two nations will continue despite sanctions and threats of secondary penalties from Washington. The move comes as U.S. tariffs on Indian goods are scheduled to take effect.

Watch Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov deliver an unfiltered, live response to Western efforts aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine. In this fiery address, Lavrov accuses the European Union and the United States of prolonging the war rather than seeking peace, asserting that their continued arms supplies to Kyiv under the guise of humanitarian or security assistance are fueling the conflict. He also strongly criticizes recent ceasefire talks—suggesting they lack sincerity and are little more than a “sham”—and condemns security discussions that exclude Moscow as a “road to nowhere,” arguing that excluding Russia makes meaningful peace negotiations impossible

Donald Trump has introduced a new strategy to deter illegal immigration: painting the southern border wall black. Kristi Noem revealed the move, saying the black paint will absorb more heat, making the wall harder to climb while extending its durability. Border officials claim construction is advancing at half a mile per day, with added sensors and cameras. Interim El Paso Sector Chief Walter Slosar said migrant apprehensions have dropped dramatically, highlighting Trump’s tougher enforcement compared to Biden.
