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.
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...
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?
A Oneindia Analysis.

On June 21, the U.S. attacked Iran’s key nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Iran confirmed damage but said nuclear materials were moved beforehand with no leaks detected.
The UN called this a “dangerous escalation”, urging all sides to de-escalate and seek diplomacy.
In retaliation, Iran’s IRGC fired over 40 missiles at Israel, injuring many. Israel struck back with air raids across Iran, including Tehran and Isfahan. Over 400 Iranians and 25 Israelis have died so far.
Iran’s parliament supports closing the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial oil route, risking global energy disruption.
Militias allied with Iran have threatened attacks if the U.S. intervenes further, raising fears of wider regional conflict.
Will diplomacy prevail or spiral into full-scale war?

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.

In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border.
At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief.
While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Shara’s past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles.
Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region.

GAZA BREAKING: A deadly Israeli missile strike on a Gaza refugee camp killed 10 children who were gathering water, sparking international outrage. The IDF admitted the missile missed its target due to a technical error. Israel claimed it was targeting a militant but instead struck a civilian area. Witnesses reported over 30 civilians were present, including many children. In a separate strike, nine more people died, including three children. As global condemnation grows, Israel says it regrets civilian harm and has launched an internal review.

Al-Quds Brigades have released new video footage showing mortar strikes on Israeli military positions in Khan Younis. The video captures masked fighters assembling and firing mortars from civilian areas, followed by multiple explosions targeting Israeli supply lines and troop buildings. Black smoke and direct hits are visible in the footage. This comes as Hamas claims 20,000 fighters remain active, with leaders like Abu Obeida warning of more severe retaliation if Israeli raids persist. Despite months of operations, Israel faces ongoing resistance in southern Gaza.

As the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal fails, pressure mounts on the Israeli government. Thousands rallied across Tel Aviv and other cities, demanding action to bring hostages home. The Hostage Forum warned that each day of war strengthens Hamas and endangers both hostages and soldiers. A new poll shows 74% of Israelis—including 60% of Netanyahu’s voters—support a deal. Eli Sharabi, who lost family on October 7, called on Trump to intervene. With around 50 hostages still in Gaza, public support for peace is reaching a breaking point.

Trump erupted at a reporter over questions regarding the alleged U.S. strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility. During a heated exchange at a post-NATO press briefing, Trump called the journalist “SCUM” and accused her of spreading misinformation.

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.
