Actor Jon Cryer responded to the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend by accusing President Donald Trump of provoking Tehran into pursuing nuclear weapons. In a post on the left-leaning Bluesky platform, Cryer wrote that Iran is “likely to see a bomb as their only route to real safety,” claiming Trump had destroyed diplomatic trust and followed it up with military action.
The Iranian parliament moved to ban the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from working with the Iranian government in inspecting nuclear facilities.
The White House released a series of statements condemning reports alleging that the recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities did not destroy them completely.
U.S. intelligence assessments indicate that Iran did not move its nuclear materials prior to the recent airstrikes ordered by President Trump, contradicting earlier reports suggesting otherwise.
New York is set to begin construction on the first major U.S. nuclear power project in over 15 years. Gov. Kathy Hochul has directed the state’s public power authority to add at least one gigawatt of nuclear capacity—enough to electrify approximately one million homes. This move directly aligns with President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders aimed at launching a nationwide nuclear energy revival.
In a historic and potentially world-altering development, former President Donald Trump confirmed on Truth Social Saturday that U.S. military forces carried out a targeted and “very successful” operation against three of Iran’s most fortified nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
President Trump announced on June 21, 2025, that U.S. forces had executed successful airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear program, targeting Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
On CNN Friday, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) called for a total end to Iran’s uranium enrichment program, urging stronger international demands and continuous monitoring of Iranian nuclear facilities. Speaking on CNN News Central, Coons said the U.S. should push for Iran to completely abandon its nuclear efforts and allow full access to all sites as part of any future agreement.
Israel’s national security adviser, Tzachi Hanegbi, confirmed Tuesday that Israel’s campaign against Iran will not end before it has inflicted serious damage on the Fordow nuclear facility—an underground complex critical to Iran’s uranium enrichment program.
Scott Jennings, a high-profile defender of President Donald Trump on CNN, called on the United States to launch a direct strike against Iran’s nuclear facility at Fordow. Speaking from Jerusalem on Sunday amid ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, Jennings argued that U.S. intervention to destroy Iran’s deeply buried enrichment site would be a righteous act—one worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.
