🔵 US STRIKES IRAN

Good evening. It’s Saturday, June 21.
The U.S. military conducted airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan on Sunday morning local time.
President Trump, who announced the “very successful attacks” on Truth Social, said he would deliver an address to the nation at 10pm ET.
Trump’s decision to intervene directly in support of Israel’s effort to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program marks a historic escalation in the Middle East.
President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he will address the nation Saturday night following the completion of attacks on Iranian nuclear sites.
The attacks mark the first direct military involvement by the United States amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
“I will be giving an Address to the Nation at 10:00 P.M., at the White House, regarding our very successful military operation in Iran,” Trump said in the post.
The Iranian nuclear sites that President Donald Trump says were struck by the United States were reportedly evacuated ahead of the strikes, Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency reported.
“IRIB’s political deputy says that Iran had evacuated the three nuclear sites some while ago,” Mehr reported.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social Saturday that the U.S. had struck Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.
The United States has thousands of troops deployed on bases across the Middle East, a region in which Washington’s forces have carried out repeated military operations in recent decades.
Israel launched an unprecedented air campaign against Iran last week, and US President Donald Trump has said he is weighing whether to join Israel in the fight.
US involvement in the conflict would likely result in attacks by Tehran on American troops in the region, who have already been targeted by Iran-aligned forces in the course of the Israel-Hamas war.
A poll from Rasmussen Reports set to be released Monday and conducted June 17-19 revealed a plurality of Americans had favored a U.S. air or naval strike on Iran to destroy its nuclear program — but not the use of ground forces.
President Donald Trump announced Saturday evening that, on his orders, the U.S. Air Force had conducted airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the Fordow nuclear site, deep underneath a mountain.
Polling data had varied in the past several weeks, often depending on how polling questions are asked. Rasmussen broke responses down into specific types of attack.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) raked in between $7.8 and $42.5 million in 2024 — meaning her estimated net worth with venture capitalist hubby Paul Pelosi could now top out at $413 million, new financial disclosures showed.
The staggering sum is an eye-popping jump from 2023, when financial disclosures showed the couple’s net worth topping out at a possible $370 million.
Pelosi’s exact net worth is not known because lawmakers are only required to disclose ranges.
At least eight people are dead following an accident involving a hot air balloon in Brazil’s southern region of Santa Catarina on Saturday, according to the local governor.
“We are all shocked by the accident involving a balloon in Praia Grande, this Saturday morning. Our rescue team is already on site… So far, we have confirmed eight deaths,” local governor Jorginho Mello said on X.
He said 21 people were on board; the other 13 survived.
