In the aftermath of the bombing, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump on the attack.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi tweeted that the U.S.'s attack would have "everlasting consequences."

Iran’s parliament has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil route carrying 20% of global crude. Though the final decision awaits the Supreme National Security Council, the move is seen as retaliation to U.S.-Israel attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. A closure would rattle global oil markets, spike prices, and disrupt trade—particularly hitting import-dependent countries like India. Iran seeks leverage over the West and a show of regional strength, but risks military backlash and damage to its own economy.

Iran has rejected all nuclear talks until Israel halts its strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi blamed both Israel and the U.S., accusing Washington of complicity in the attacks. Tehran dismissed a reported U.S. request for dialogue and insists that diplomacy is impossible while its sovereignty is violated. As Araghchi prepares to meet EU leaders in Geneva, Iran warns that global sentiment is shifting against the U.S.-Israel axis unless military aggression stops.

In a dramatic escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump confirms that key Iranian nuclear facilities — Natanz, Fordow, and Arak — have been completely destroyed in precision strikes. Warning Tehran of more devastation to come, Trump declares that additional targets can be eliminated “in minutes” if Iran does not choose peace. The strikes come after days of rising tensions in the Middle East, with support from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Meanwhile, schools are closed and public gatherings banned across Israel as fears of retaliation grow. Is this the brink of a wider war?

Following the U.S. missile strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, senior Iranian lawmaker Abbas Golroo has invoked Article 10 of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), claiming Iran has the legal right to withdraw. The clause allows withdrawal if a state deems its supreme interests endangered. A petition in Mashhad is also urging Parliament to vote for Iran’s exit. With legal, public, and political momentum building, Iran’s departure from the treaty could reshape global diplomacy and deepen the nuclear standoff in the Middle East. A formal decision now looms over Tehran.

A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash.
