Israel-Iran Ceasefire, Niger Nationalizes Uranium Mine, India Blames Pakistan for Kashmir Attack
Andrew Sheves
Good morning,
🇮🇱** 🇮🇷 Israel-Iran Ceasefire / Conflict Update**
⚠️ As of writing at 05:30ET, there are reports that Iran just fired two missiles at Israel, reports that Iran’s State media has denied. The IDF has vowed that Israel will retaliate “with force” so there may be some last-minute confusion and exchange of fire before the ceasefire fully holds.
Latest Developments (June 23–24, 2025)
Military Actions and Damage Assessments
Missile Strikes in Israel: A missile launched from Iran struck a residential building in Beer Sheva, southern Israel, killing three people (a man in his 40s, a woman in her 30s, and a man in his 20s). Six others were injured, with injuries ranging from light to moderate123.
Israeli Retaliation: Israel conducted airstrikes on Tehran overnight, targeting the Basij headquarters (a paramilitary organization) and Evin Prison (a facility holding regime dissidents), reportedly to disrupt internal security and potentially facilitate the escape of dissidents. Damage was also reported to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) headquarters and a power feeder in the Evin District, causing a local power outage42.
US Military Involvement: The conflict escalated after US airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites on June 21, which the US Joint Chiefs of Staff described as causing “extreme damage” to Fordow, Natanz, and an unspecified facility in Esfahan. Israeli airstrikes targeted access roads to Fordow to prevent Iran from assessing damage or moving materials4.
Iranian Strike on US Base: Iran launched missiles at the US-operated Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The base had been evacuated days prior, and the incoming missiles were intercepted without casualties2.
