On June 23, 2025, escalating tensions in the Middle East dominated global headlines as Iran launched a retaliatory missile attack on the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest American military installation in the region, housing approximately 10,000 troops. The attack, involving at least six to ten missiles, was a direct response to U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—conducted over the weekend. President Donald Trump, in the White House Situation Room with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine, monitored the situation as Iran’s “Operation Besharat Fatah” targeted the base. Qatar’s air defenses intercepted the missiles, resulting in no casualties, though explosions were reported in Doha. Qatar condemned the attack as a violation of its sovereignty, reserving the right to respond, while Iran claimed it mirrored the U.S. strike in scale to signal de-escalation.
The U.S. strikes, dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer,” utilized B-2 stealth bombers deploying 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs on Fordow, two on Natanz, and 24 Tomahawk missiles on Isfahan, causing significant structural damage visible in satellite imagery. Trump claimed the strikes “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program, though experts like Jeffrey Lewis suggested Iran may have moved enriched uranium beforehand, limiting the strikes’ effectiveness. Iranian officials, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, vowed further retaliation, with crowds in Tehran chanting “Revenge!” and threats to target U.S. bases across the Middle East or close the Strait of Hormuz.
Domestically, the strikes sparked controversy. The Trump administration briefed congressional Republicans beforehand but informed Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries only shortly before or after the strikes, prompting criticism for bypassing Congress. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refuted claims of inadequate bipartisan notification. Meanwhile, oil markets reacted, with Brent crude briefly surging to $81 per barrel before settling at $78.80, reflecting fears of Iranian retaliation against Gulf oil infrastructure.
Concurrently, a domestic scandal unfolded as Tucker Carlson posted on X about a Biden autopen scandal, alleging whistleblowers exposed Ron Klain, Anita Dunn, Steve Ricchetti, Bob Bauer, and Jill Biden in a scheme involving forged clemency documents. Trump directed the Justice Department to investigate, with Pardon Attorney Ed Martin probing Biden’s cognitive capacity and potential abuse of power.
National security concerns also intensified, with fears of Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. following the entry of over 1,200 Iranian nationals during Biden’s administration. The Department of Homeland Security issued warnings, and cities like New York and Washington, D.C., heightened security.
In unrelated news, a federal judge in Nashville denied the Trump administration’s bid to detain Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and a tragic shooting at Crosspointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan, was thwarted by quick action from church staff.
