Tensions Between Iran and Israel: Trump Claims Destruction of Iranian Nuclear Facilities

The world’s attention is focused on the Middle East after a fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel was announced on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, initially by Donald Trump. Despite initial relief, Tel Aviv and Tehran engaged in missile exchanges just four hours later. Following the last wave of attacks, an uneasy calm prevails in both countries. The ceasefire, brokered by the U.S. President, has barely begun when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued new threats against Tehran. The focal point remains Iran’s nuclear program. Netanyahu warned that if Iran attempts to revive its nuclear program, Israel will take decisive action again. He claimed Israel achieved a ‘historic victory’ by destroying Iran’s nuclear program. If Iran tries to restore it, Netanyahu stated that the military would act with the same determination and force to prevent any such effort. Iranian officials deny the destruction of their nuclear facilities, asserting that Tehran will continue its program uninterrupted. American media outlets citing DIA sources reported that U.S. airstrikes only delayed Iran’s nuclear progress by a few months. Trump, however, insists that U.S. strikes completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear installations, contradicting these reports.
