President Trump on Saturday declared U.S. strikes on Iran's key nuclear facilities were a "spectacular military success," but warned in an address to the nation that he could order further action if Tehran does not agree to a satisfactory peace agreement. "Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror," Trump said in remarks from the Cross Hall at the White House. "Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success." |

BY COLIN MEYN AND ELLEN MITCHELL | President Trump announced Saturday night that the United States has bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, engaging U.S. forces in a war that Israel launched two weeks ago. In a brief address on Saturday night, Trump warned of continued U.S. attacks on Iran if "peace does not come quickly." |

President Trump announced Saturday the United States had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, including the Fordow site that is located in a mountainside. "We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," Trump posted on Truth Social. |

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), one of the most vocal Republicans pushing against American intervention in Iran, posted on X that President Trump's bombing of Iranian nuclear sites is unconstitutional. Trump announced that American forces have struck three Iranian nuclear sites — Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan — and that all planes are out of Iranian airspace. |

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is offering support for President Trump's decision to bomb Iran, standing out from a number of other Democrats who have criticized the military action. "As I've long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS," Fetterman wrote in a post on X that linked to a statement from Trump announcing the decision. |

Republicans on Capitol Hill quickly lined up behind President Trump after he announced that the U.S. conducted a strike on three Iranian nuclear facilities, a strong show of support for the White House with few detractors inside the GOP. Trump announced on Truth Social just before 8 p.m. EDT on Saturday that the U.S. "completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran," including Fordow, the nuclear site hidden in a mountain south of Tehran. He is scheduled to address the nation from the White House at 10 p.m. |

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Saturday night said President Trump's decision to strike three of Iran's nuclear sites is grounds for impeachment, becoming one of the first elected Democrats to back the constitutional punishment after the attack in the Middle East. Trump announced Sunday night that the U.S. executed a "spectacular military success" in Iran, striking three nuclear facilities — including Fordow, which is hidden deep in a mountain south of Tehran. He warned that the U.S. would order additional strikes if Iran does not come to the table to negotiate a peace agreement. |

A number of Republicans are becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of tariff deals from President Trump two weeks away from a July 8 deadline that could lead to the reinstating of heavy tariffs on imports from around the world. The administration has announced deals with China and the United Kingdom, and it insists it is working hard on others. Officials have also suggested there could be some wiggle room on the deadline. |

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin is under pressure amid growing turmoil within the party's ranks six months into President Trump's second administration.
The committee has been plagued by party infighting that has spilled out into the open in recent weeks. Last week, two influential union heads — American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees President Lee Saunders — stepped down from their posts at the committee. Meanwhile, former Vice Chair David Hogg announced he would not run for his post again amid internal disagreements with party leadership. |

OPINION | The unrest in Los Angeles isn't just about politics. It is a symptom of something deeper: a national collapse of resilience. Behind the protests lies a broader crisis, a fragile mindset that mistakes discomfort for danger, grievance for identity, and emotional reactivity for truth. |
OPINION | Last week, 11 of the 12 members of the Fulbright Board of Directors resigned, citing political interference in awarding Fulbright Scholar awards for the upcoming year. This comes less than two weeks after ten students and six researchers left Sweden after nine months away from home, returning to America to continue their educational and professional paths. |

President Trump is betting the United States can repel whatever retaliation Iran orders, and that it has destroyed the regime's chances of reconstituting its nuclear program. |
The U.S. attacked three of Iran's nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, which represent the core of the Iranian nuclear infrastructure. |

President Donald Trump's decision Saturday to strike Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities was an extraordinary bet that he could eliminate a nuclear program that has bedeviled multiple presidents while avoiding another long-running Middle East conflict of the sort he and his supporters have long denounced.
