Iran president announces ‘end of 12-day war’
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announces the “end of the 12-day war” imposed by Israel, in a message to the nation carried by the official IRNA news agency.
“Today, after the heroic resistance of our great nation, whose determination makes history, we are witnessing the establishment of a truce and the ending of this 12-day war imposed by the adventurism and provocation” of Israel, Pezeshkian says.
(You notice they didn’t say anything bad about Trump or the U.S., they normally do)

Tehran will restore its nuclear program, Iranian atomic chief vows
Mohammad Eslami says Iran prepped in advance for damage to nuclear sites; IAEA chief welcomes uncertain truce, urges Tehran to pursue diplomatic solution
By LAZAR BERMAN,
Iran is assessing the damage to its nuclear industry following Israel’s intensive 12-day campaign against it, and arrangements have been made for its restoration, Iran’s nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami said Tuesday.
“The plan is to prevent interruptions in the process of production and services,” Eslami said, according to Iran’s state-owned Mehr News, claiming that Tehran had been prepared for damage to its nuclear sites.
Iran’s nuclear program took serious blows in Israel’s bombings since June 13, and particularly early on Sunday, when the US dropped massive bunker-buster munitions and fired missiles at three of its nuclear facilities, joining the Israeli campaign.
The Israeli and American strikes targeted uranium enrichment sites and various research and development facilities tied to the program. Washington and Jerusalem have asserted that the bombings caused significant damage to Iran’s nuclear ambitions and set the country back considerably.
Early Tuesday morning, US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel following the strikes, urging both sides “not to violate it.” It was not immediately clear how Washington and Jerusalem intended to solidify the military achievements and prevent Iran from restarting its nuclear efforts following that announcement.

IAEA says additional impacts from US strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran may have caused localized contamination
The IAEA said it has identified additional impact points at the Fordo and Natanz nuclear sites, including possible localized contamination and chemical hazards.
“Regarding the additional strikes to Fordo that were reported early on Monday – after the U.S. bombing of the facility early on Sunday – the IAEA assesses that access roads close to the underground facility and one of its entrances were hit,” the statement read.
At Natanz, the IAEA said that it has identified “two impact holes from the U.S. strikes above the underground halls that had been used for enrichment as well as for storage.”
“Based on its knowledge of what these halls contained, the IAEA assesses that this strikemay have caused localized contamination and chemical hazards,” it added.

NATO members’ leaders snubbing Zelensky at key summit – Orban
Hungary, the US, Türkiye, Slovakia and others don’t want to formally engage the Ukrainian leader, according to the PM
Several NATO members, including the US, are deliberately avoiding meeting with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelenskyat the bloc’s key summit in The Hague, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has claimed.
Speaking prior to the gathering on Wednesday, Orban noted that Zelensky would only attend the informal dinner and “will not participate in the NATO summit in any official form,” indicating that “a clear sign that the previous chapter is over.”
The Hungarian prime minister went on to explainthat this is a drastic change compared to previous years, stating that “the Americans, the Turks, the Slovaks, and we have made it clear that we do not want to sit at the same table with Zelensky when it comes to NATO.”
He further stressed Hungary’s continued opposition to Ukraine joining NATO or the EU. Orban has repeatedly warned that Kiev’s membership in any of the blocs would drag the West into a direct conflict with Russia.
Meanwhile, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto noted thatthe 2025 summit would be the first since 2022 where the focus would be not on stepping up support for Ukraine, but on strengthening the bloc’s collective defense.
“With Ukraine’s NATO membership off the agenda, direct confrontation with Russia has been avoided. Rationality has prevailed,” he added.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump confirmed that he would “probably” meet with Zelensky on the sidelines of the summit. At the same time, he described the Ukrainian leader as being in a “tough situation,” adding that he “should have never been there.”
In another sign of the simmering tensions between Zelensky and Trump, the Washington Post reported that NATO leaders are “tiptoeing around rifts” during the summit, trying to showcase “a veneer of unity”.
The paper reported that “NATO officials are trying to keep [Trump and Zelensky] apart as much as possible in public— a recognition of Trump’s occasionally volcanic disdain for the Ukrainian leader.”
In this vein,NATO organizers positioned Zelensky far from Trumpduring the official summit photo-op, according to footage broadcast by C-SPAN.

Secretary Rubio Affirms “Significant Damage” to Iran Nuclear Capacity in Wake of U.S. Airstrikes 1/2
June 25, 2025 | Sundance |
If you assert the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan were taken exclusively to remove the capacity of Iran to create a nuclear weapon, you likely missing a key point. However, if you recognize the strikes were not only about eliminating Iran’s nuclear capacitybut also about taking Israel’s “Iran has nukes!” card off the table, then you begin to understand the after actionmessage from the Trump administration.
Essentially,by removing the Iran nuclear threat, the overall influence from Israel on President Trump’s foreign policy objective is also lessened. Within that dynamic you will see why President Trump, Secretary/NSA Rubio and the inner national security circleare so strongly emphasizing the “totally destroyed” message. WATCH:
The inverse of the successful Iran strike narrative is also true. If the strikes against Iran are defined as not eliminating the nuclear threat, then a continuance of national security influence on behalf of Israel is maintained.
Unfortunately, for the deepest part of the U.S. intelligence apparatus,maintaining the usefulness of the Iran nuclear threat is aligned with their interests.Hence, we begin to see why the intelligence apparatus immediately began trying to diminish the effectiveness of the strikes with leaks to CNN [SEE HERE].
Through strategically motivated leaks from within the intel apparatus CNN Reported:
“The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.
The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.” [link]
With this critical conflict in mind,now you begin to understand the severity of the intelligence community moves against DNI Tulsi Gabbard.Those attacks against DNI Gabbard began earlier this month when she started to take intelligence operatives out of their positions of influence [Document Here]
As an uncontrolled Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is a threatto those interests deep inside our government who weaponize intelligence information in order to control foreign policy outcomes.
To grasp the extent of the problems this weaponized intelligence represents, we must remember howthe intelligence and foreign policyestablishment work through their media aligned operatives tokeep President Donald Trump inside a box as it relates to his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.(The whole world wants to keep Trump and Putin divided, because they know what the DS will do to the world.)
The foreign policy embeds, which includes theCIA, always want to retain control of outcomesand they will do anything to maintain their influence.
Having previously used the restaurant analogy to describe the State Dept and CIA operations; as this situation continues to unfoldthere is very strong data aligning that shows Israeli intelligence is much more than just a table in the CIA kitchen.
Because this data alignment is now significant,we cannot dismiss reports outlining that CIA Director John Ratcliffe used raw, unvetted Israeli intelligence to advise President Trumpabout the Iranian nuclear status [SEE HERE]. In fact, the timing of the deep state attacks against DNI Tulsi Gabbard align perfectly with the sourcing conflicts in briefing material….

Big Picture Dynamic– The essential concern is that CIA Director John Ratcliffe was using raw Israeli intelligence to tell President Trump Iran was only a few days away from a nuclear weapon, whereas DNI Tulsi Gabbard would be looking at U.S. intelligence that was not slanted toward achieving the immediate objectives of Israel.
The intelligence conflict plays out differently in the media as the deep state pushes a personality narrative, while Israel-First embeds freeze DNI Gabbard out of the actionable influence.There is a lot of Machiavellian nuance inside this game of power and control and none of it is good. President Trump is bombarded with “who are you going to believe” type questions, and that is exactly what we saw play out.
Yes, the overall concern about Iran having nuclear weapons is first and foremost. As evidenced in the perspectives andaction by President Trump trump, this larger issue dynamic ultimately determined his approach – REMOVE THE THREAT.
In the aftermath of “Operation Midnight Hammer”President Trump wants to move onto other affairs of large consequence to his domestic and foreign policy objectives. However, those objectives are not in alignment with what DC and the Intelligence Community want to see done.
The Intelligence Community (IC) wants President Trump back in the control boxreacting only to their interests in the manner they construct for him to react. This is why the IC are pushing a narrative that Operation Midnight Hammer did not destroy the Iran nuclear threat; and President Trump is forcefully refusing to go back into the control box by saying Operation Midnight Hammer was a resounding success.
This is the context, the control battle that is taking place in the headlines, and every element is connected to this larger dynamic.
Without too much questionthe CIA and Israeli intelligence network have such a symbiotic relationshipit is almost impossible to tell them apart. The goals, objectives and priorities of the CIA are the goals, objectives and priorities of Israel. Watch closely with clear eyes and you will easily see this dynamic.
Today, “Iran’s parliament has passed a bill halting cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).” The measure will bar IAEA inspectors from accessing Iran until the security of its nuclear facilities is ensured. [link]This is a move that assists President Trump not getting pulled back into the global intelligence control box. It is a move by Iran that I fully support because it aligns with America First interests.
As former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), current Secretary of State and National Security Advisor MarcoRubio knows every element in this IC construct. Rubio’s first move was to dissolve USAID, remember that.

President Trump Talks to Media From NATO Summit
June 25, 2025 | Sundance |
President Trump and his national security team held a meeting with NATO Sec.-Gen. Mark Rutte during the 2025 NATO Summit in the Hague, Netherlands, and took questions from the media.
Interestingly, NATO Secretary Mark Rutte emphasizes the new commitment from Canada repeatedly. As one of the worst offenders to adhere to their NATO obligations, and against the backdrop of tariffs and targeted trade negotiations,obviously Canada is trying to position themselves against the Trump economic agenda.
Secondly, the emphasis is again on the damage assessment from the U.S. bombing of the Iran nuclear facilities. This is critical for President Trump to break free of the intelligence community control over U.S. foreign policy expanded in the next outline. WATCH:

Viktor Orban: “NATO Has No Business in Ukraine and Ukraine is Not a Member of NATO”
June 25, 2025 | Sundance |
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is not known as a man who pretends. Orban speaks plainly, directly and without pretense. During his open media segment at the beginning of the NATO summit themedia demanded to know if he thought Russia was a threat and how he felt about Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
being present at the assembly.
Orban being Orban delivered the response the Europeans did not want to hear. Trump is great. Russia is not scary. The biggest threat to the EU is their continued slide away from competitive economics. As to Zelenskyy, NATO has no business in Ukraine. WATCH:

LIVE UPDATES
NATO summit underway in The Hague 1/2
The event is expected to have a decreased focus on Ukraine support compared to previous years
NATO leaders have convened for a two-day summit in the Hague. The agenda of the US-led gathering is expected to revolve around the stand-off between Israel and Iran, Tehran’s nuclear program, the Ukraine conflict, and an increase in member states’ defense spending.
The summit is the first one to be attended by US President Donald Trump since he returned to office in January. The US leader has for years been pushing the bloc’s members to ramp up their defense spending to as much as 5% of national GDP, while complaining that America is carrying the main burden.
While Ukraine’s conflict with Russia is still expected to be on the summit agenda, multiple media reports have claimed that attention given to it would be drastically reducedcompared to previous years. Trump has repeatedly clashed with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky in public while being reluctant to commit new US aid to Kiev.
Trump signaled he would “probably” meet Zelensky – who was invited to an informal dinner – on the sidelines of the summit. A Washington Post report claimed that NATO officials are trying to keep the two leaders apart as much as possible in public while being mindful of “Trump’s occasionally volcanic disdain for the Ukrainian leader.”
The Israel-Iran conflict is expected to loom large on the agenda following US strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities and the announcement of a ceasefire between West Jerusalem and Tehran. While Trump has claimed that Iran’s nuclear sites have been “completely obliterated,” several US media outlets reported that Washington’s airstrikes caused only limited and reversible damage.
25 June 2025 14:07 GMT
While NATO touted the new 5% GDP defense spending target, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez publicly broke ranks, insisting that its current expenditure of 2% is “sufficient, realistic and compatible with the welfare state.”
13:59 GMT
Trump and Zelensky have wrapped up a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the NATO summit, several Ukrainian media outlets have reported, adding that talks lasted just under an hour.
Neither of the leaders have spoken to the press since the encounter.
13:56 GMT
NATO has released a brief five-paragraph-long communique, stating that the bloc’s members “commit to invest 5% of GDP annually on core defense requirements” while reaffirming support for Ukraine.
Ukraine, however, was only mentioned in one sentence, while the document said nothing regarding the prospect of Kiev’s membership in the bloc.

13:32 GMT
Earlier in the day, speaking next to Trump, Rutte defended the US leader’s use of profanities to denounce reports of the violations of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, stating that “Daddy sometimes has to use strong language.”
13:25 GMT
Pressed by CNN on whether he believed Article 5 of the NATO Charter – stipulating that an attack on one NATO member is an attack on the entire bloc – is “subject to interpretation,” Rutte described it as absolutely clear.Still, he sought to downplay the issue, adding that NATO will never go into details regarding the circumstances which could trigger it.
His comments came after Trump suggested that the Article could have “numerous definitions.” In the past, the US leader threatened that he would not defend those NATO members who fail to reach the bloc's joint spending target.
13:17 GMT
Responding to the question whether NATO’s defense spending hike is more linked to the desire to please Trump rather than to deter the perceived “Russian threat,” Rutte claimed that the US demands for increase of military expenditure date back to President Dwight Eisenhower and are generally a long-term tendency.
13:08 GMT
Asked whether Rutte’s messages to Trump, which have been seen as filled with obsequious flattery, make him look “weak,” the NATO chief rejected the notion, describing the US leader as “a good friend.” He added that Trump deserves recognition for pushing NATO towards increasing defense spending.
13:06 GMT
Pivoting to Ukraine, Rutte stressed thatKiev has NATO’s “continued support,” including at least $35 billion in assistance this year. “Our aim is to keep Ukraine in the fight today so that it can enjoy a lasting peace in the future…We will continue to support Ukraine on its irreversible path to NATO membership,” he said, without naming any timeline.
12:58 GMT
European NATO members and Canada “will do more of the heavy lifting” and take more responsibility for the bloc’s security, according to Rutte.
12:54 GMT
NATO has approved the so-called Hague Defense Investment Plan, under which the bloc’s members have committed to allocating 5% of their GDP to military spending, Mark Rutte has said, pointing to security “threats” facing the bloc.
He predicted that all NATO members would reach the 2% GDP defense spending target this year. The threshold was first introduced in 2014, following the start of the Ukraine crisis, with many members struggling to reach it for years.
12:48 GMT
NATO members have laid the foundations for a “more lethal” bloc at the summit, Secretary-General Mark Rutte has told reporters, adding that they “agreed to boost our defense industries” and reaffirmed their “unwavering”support for Ukraine.
