Early intel assessment says Iran's nuclear program was only set back 'a few months'

Iran set back a few months

A U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly has confirmed early intelligence assessments by the Defense Intelligence Agency saying that the massive U.S. air campaign against three Iran nuclear sites on Saturday night did not "obliterate" Iran's nuclear enrichment program as President Trump claimed but instead set it back "a few months."

CNN first published news of the DIA assessment.

The official told NPR that military officials provided an early assessment of the intel to select senators — including Virginia's Mark Warner, the leading Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

"I have a whole lot of questions for this administration," Warner told All Things Considered. "What are the next steps? How do we make sure that there's not Iran racing now to a dirty bomb? These are questions that we and frankly, the American people, deserve answers to."

Trump tensions with Israel, Netanyahu rise to the surface

Trump v NetnyahuaPresident Trump’s public outburst Tuesday against Israel and Iran to stop shooting and adopt a ceasefire signaled he isn’t afraid to confront Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when it comes to protecting his efforts to present himself as a peace and dealmaker.

Trump’s profane-laced frustration that the U.S. ally Israel along with Iran should give up the fighting also sent a signal to MAGA World that the president was not beholden to Netanyahu’s war aims.

President Trump’s public outburst Tuesday against Israel and Iran to stop shooting and adopt a ceasefire signaled he isn’t afraid to confront Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when it comes to protecting his efforts to present himself as a peace and dealmaker.

Trump’s profane-laced frustration that the U.S. ally Israel along with Iran should give up the fighting also sent a signal to MAGA World that the president was not beholden to Netanyahu’s war aims.

After backing off earlier threats that the U.S. could support regime change in Iran, Trump even raised the possibility of trade with Tehran and seeing the country’s oil on the markets.

“What is going on today is that the president’s putting pressure on Israel, he wants to maintain the ceasefire, he knows that any further fighting would not only call into question his diplomacy, but would risk involving America in a deeper, longer-term military involvement in the region,” said Michael Oren, the former Israeli ambassador to the U.S.

FBI sharpens focus on counter-terrorism after Iran strikes

FBI returns to work on counter terrorism

Officials across the US are on heightened alert after the US bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran.

There is no specific threat but in recent days, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have spoken with governors and law enforcement agencies across the country about the heightened threat environment.

The FBI has also shifted some of its agents, who have been helping on immigration-related cases, back to counter-terrorism efforts, sources told the BBC's US partner CBS.

Within two days of the Iranian strikes, US immigration officials arrested 11 Iranian citizens in the US, including men with alleged ties to Iran's military and paramilitary proxy groups.

MAGA erupts over Trump’s Iran ‘regime change’ talk MAGA erupts over Trump’s Iran ‘regime change’ talk

Regime changePresident Trump’s decision to float the possibility of regime change in Iran following a number of U.S. strikes on its nuclear facilities has caused a new rupture across the MAGA universe, as top supporters fret about the possibility of a deeper U.S. involvement in a Middle Eastern war.

Trump surprised some supporters by authorizing weekend strikes against three nuclear sites in Iran, but he and his team seemed to signal the military action could end there.

The president scrambled those calculations in a Truth Social post Sunday. He said that while it was not politically correct to use the term regime change, “if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!”

The White House walked back Trump’s remarks Monday, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying he was just suggesting the Iranian people might want a new government, not suggesting a new front or motive to the war.

US judge blocks Trump plan to bar international students from Harvard

Trump can't bar foreign students

A federal judge on Monday blocked Donald Trump’s administration from implementing his plan to bar foreign nationals from entering the United States to study at Harvard University.

US district judge Allison Burroughs in Boston issued an injunction barring Trump’s administration from carrying out its latest bid to curtail Harvard’s ability to host international students amid an escalating fight pitting the Republican president against the prestigious Ivy League school.

The preliminary injunction extends a temporary order the judge issued on 5 June that prevented the administration from enforcing a proclamation Trump signed a day earlier that cited national security concerns to justify why Harvard could no longer be trusted to host international students.

The proclamation prohibited foreign nationals from entering the US to study at Harvard or participate in exchange visitor programs for an initial period of six months, and directed Marco Rubio to consider whether to revoke visas of international students already enrolled at Harvard.

Israel recovers bodies of three Gaza captives as it kills 33 Palestinians

3 bodies of hostages found

Israeli forces say they have recovered the bodies of three captives held in the Gaza Strip since Hamas’s 2023 attack, the military said, as its bombardment and attacks in the besieged enclave have killed more than 30 Palestinians, according to hospital officials.

The military on Sunday said the bodies of Ofra Keidar, Yonatan Samerano, and soldier Shay Levinson were recovered from Gaza “in a special operation”.

Samerano’s father had announced earlier on Sunday that his 21-year-old son’s body, which was taken into Gaza after he was murdered on October 7, 2023, had been recovered by the Israeli army.

Keidar, a 71-year-old mother of three, was also killed on the day, while 19-year-old tank commander Levinson “engaged and fought terrorists on the morning of October 7 and fell in combat”, a statement from the military said.

Islamic State suicide bombing in Damascus church kills 22 and injures 63

Damascus church suicide bombing

A suicide bombing by Islamic State (IS) targeting a church in Damascus has killed 22 people and wounded 63, Syrian state media have said.

The attack on Sunday night was the first major IS operation and the first suicide bombing in Syria since former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was toppled in December and replaced by an Islamist-led government.

A man affiliated with IS entered the Greek Orthodox Saint Elias church in the old Christian quarter of Damascus during prayers, opened fire and then detonated an explosive vest while inside the church, Syria’s interior ministry said. Eyewitnesses inside the church reported a second gunman who did not blow himself up, but also shot at the 150 or so worshippers present.

“People were praying safely under the eyes of God,” said Fadi Ghattas, who said he saw at least 20 people killed. “There were 350 people praying at the church.”
