Photos show the aftermath of airstrikes in Israel and Iran after 12 days of war
Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire on Tuesday after 12 days of airstrikes and missile attacks. Israel targeted Iran's nuclear program, and the US dropped bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities. Photos show damaged sites in both Israel and Iran in the aftermath of the war. The damage is done. After 12 days of airstrikes, drones, and missile attacks, including US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites ordered by President Donald Trump, Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire brokered by Trump on Tuesday. The " 12 Day War" began on June 13 when Israel launched a surprise attack it said was a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear program to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. Iran retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones directed at Israel. In Israel, 28 people died and over 3,000 were injured, according to Israel's Health Ministry. Iranian state media reported that 627 people died and at least 4,870 were wounded in Iran. Whether the US and Israel succeeded in halting Iran's nuclear program remains unclear. The White House maintains that Iran's nuclear facilities were "obliterated," while a classified US intelligence assessment reported that the attacks may have only delayed Iran's developments by a few months. Photos show the aftermath of the war in Israel and Iran. On June 13, Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran targeting its nuclear and military facilities. Israel also struck the homes of Iranian nuclear scientists in Tehran and Marzdaran. The airstrikes left gaping holes in residential buildings in Tehran. Iran responded with retaliatory strikes aimed at Israel. Israeli air defense systems intercepted some of the incoming surface-to-surface missiles, but some hit their targets. Iranian missiles damaged buildings and wounded civilians in the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, and Bnei Brak. Israel struck an Iranian state media building in Tehran on June 16, calling it a "terror-linked propaganda infrastructure." Israel also bombed Evin Prison in Tehran, known for imprisoning political dissidents and journalists. Vehicles jammed highways in Iran as residents fled Tehran. Tel Aviv canceled its annual Pride Parade as Israeli citizens were ordered to shelter in place. Parking garages and underground stations across Israel became temporary bomb shelters. An Iranian missile hit Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba on June 19, injuring 71, according to Israel's Health Ministry. Smoke lingered in the skies of Tehran as Israel continued its bombing of Iran. Stores were shuttered at Tehran's Grand Bazaar as Iranians took cover from Israeli airstrikes. Businesses like beauty salons were demolished in the strikes on Tehran. Fire was visible in the mountains of Shiraz, where the Israel Defense Forces said they struck a missile launch site. Satellite imagery showed damage done to Iranian nuclear sites, including a nuclear technology center in Isfahan. After the US joined the fray and dropped "bunker buster" bombs on Iranian nuclear sites, Iran retaliated by launching missiles at a US military base in Qatar, all of which were intercepted. A ceasefire agreement was reached on June 24, bringing the 12 days of fighting to a halt. With a ceasefire in place, both countries began clearing the wreckage of destroyed buildings and burying their dead. Streets in Iran and Israel slowly returned to normal.

S&P 500 Homes In on Record as Trump Posits Powell Replacement
US stocks resumed their climb Thursday with the S&P 500 Index narrowing in on a record following a report President Donald Trump will announce his pick for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's replacement earlier than anticipated. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% at 9:32 a.m. in New York, placing it within spitting distance of an all-time high. The technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index bounced roughly the same amount, extending its record run. The Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, fell below 17 even as Trump's self-imposed tariff deadline looms alongside uncertainty around whether peace can hold in the Middle East and souring economic data.

Pentagon leaders double down on the destruction from US attacks on Iran
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon's top leaders doubled down Thursday on how destructive the U.S. attacks had been on Iran's nuclear facilities and described in detail the study and planning behind the bombing mission. In a rare Pentagon news briefing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, worked to shift the debate from whether the nuclear targets were 'obliterated,' as President Donald Trump has said, to what they portrayed as the heroism of the strikes as well as the extensive research and preparation that went into carrying them out. 'You want to call it destroyed, you want to call it defeated, you want to call it obliterated — choose your word. This was an historically successful attack,' Hegseth said in an often combative session with the media. He said once more an early assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency, a part of the Defense Department, was preliminary and that the report acknowledged there was low confidence and gaps in information. Hegseth scolded reporters for 'breathlessly' focusing on that intelligence assessment and said such stories were just attempts to undermine the Republican president. That intelligence report said that while the U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities did significant damage, the sites were not totally destroyed and that Tehran's program was only set back by a few months. U.S. stealth bombers dropped 12 deep penetrator bombs on Iran's Fordo uranium enrichment site and two on Natanz, a U.S. official told The Associated Press. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss military operations. Despite the sheer tonnage of weaponry used on Fordo, the DIA report said the sites were not totally destroyed. At the briefing, Caine described the 15 years of study by two Defense Threat Reduction Agency officers to create a bomb that could penetrate the Fordo nuclear facility being built deep underground by Iran. Over time, he said, the department had many people with Ph.D.s working on the program, 'doing modeling and simulation that we were quietly and in a secret way the biggest users of supercomputer hours within the United States of America.' The pilots of the bombers involved in the weekend strikes described the flash after the bomb drop as 'the brightest explosion they had ever seen,' Caine said. At the briefing, Hegseth responded to some questions by personally attacking the reporter or the press as a whole. Asked repeatedly whether any of the nuclear material was moved out of the Iranian facilities, Hegseth acknowledged that the Pentagon was 'looking at all aspects of intelligence and making sure we have a sense of what was where. 'I'm not aware of any intelligence that says things were not where they were supposed to be' or that they were moved, Hegseth said. ___ Associated Press writers Eric Tucker and Chris Megerian contributed to this report.
