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.
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?
A Oneindia Analysis.

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.

Hamas has issued a stark warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling his Gaza City occupation plan a “war crime” and “ethnic cleansing.” The group vowed Israel would pay a “heavy price” and accused Netanyahu of sacrificing hostages for political gains. Islamic Jihad labeled the move “genocidal,” while former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon called the war immoral and unwinnable. With ICC arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu and Gallant, and over 61,000 killed, Gaza faces famine as international legal pressure mounts.

In an unprecedented show of global consensus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel, Pakistan, and Cambodia have all backed U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Armenia’s Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev jointly credited Trump for brokering a landmark peace deal ending decades of conflict in the South Caucasus, calling him a “peacemaker.” The agreement includes a U.S.-controlled transit corridor — the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” — linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave through Armenia.
Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan’s government, and Cambodia’s Hun Manet also nominated Trump, citing his role in defusing conflicts from the Middle East to South Asia. The White House hailed the deal as a setback for China, Russia, and Iran. With multiple nations — some rivals — rallying behind him, Trump’s Nobel push has become one of the most talked-about diplomatic developments of the year.

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.
