An early U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency assessment, according to American media CNN, indicates the weekend strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, failed to destroy the core nuclear infrastructure.

A preliminary US assessment indicates that recent strikes on Iranian nuclear sites only set back Tehran’s programme by a few months, contrary to claims of total destruction by Donald Trump.

Israeli warplanes were prepared to retaliate against Iranian missile strikes, considering them a violation of a newly-established ceasefire.

A U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran was announced by Donald Trump after 12 days of intense conflict involving strikes on Iranian nuclear sites (Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan) and Iranian missile attacks, including one on a U.S. base in Qatar.

A “complete and total ceasefire” between Israel and Iran has been announced by Donald Trump, set to begin shortly after his announcement on Truth Social.

France and Germany have joined forces in calling for a measured yet assertive EU response to proposed U.S. tariffs on aircraft and aircraft parts, part of Washington’s broader 20% levies on EU imports.
