President Trump has announced to the nation that the U.S. military has bombed multiple Iranian nuclear sites [1].

The operation reportedly involved seven B-2 stealth bombers deploying 14 specialized bunker-buster munitions [4], with Pentagon officials later confirming to one outlet that Washington had informed Tehran of the action before the strikes were carried out [5].

The White House official account subsequently confirmed a “very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan” [2]. Mainstream media like Axios independently reported the “U.S. strikes” [3], while conservative outlets announced a decisive “Assault on Iran’s Nuclear Program” [4].

DAILY BRIEFING

Overview

The nation is grappling with a series of escalating crises that are straining its political and institutional foundations. A severe public schism has erupted between the White House and the intelligence community over Iran’s nuclear program, compounded by reports that the administration has considered using tactical nuclear weapons. This foreign policy emergency unfolds as the Republican majority’s central legislative ambition, a sweeping “megabill,” teeters on the brink of collapse due to a damaging ruling from the Senate Parliamentarian and significant internal party fractures. Concurrently, the executive branch is aggressively expanding its authority through the domestic deployment of military forces—bolstered by a key court victory—and a rapid-fire overhaul of federal agencies. The Supreme Court continues to issue consequential rulings reshaping environmental, social, and economic policy, often creating sharp ideological divides among the justices. This is all set against a backdrop of increasing political violence, with direct threats and physical attacks on lawmakers, and profound internal turmoil corroding the leadership structures of both the Republican and Democratic parties.

1. International Affairs & National Security

1.1 U.S.-Iran Tensions Reach Critical Point

The decision on potential U.S. military action against Iranian nuclear facilities remains stalled, with sources indicating a two-week delay stems from President Trump’s “fear of Iran becoming ‘another Libya’” [1]. This public hesitation has fueled a debate over the administration’s strategy, with foreign press questioning if the President has “chickened out” [2] and domestic commentary suggesting that opponents of military action are attempting to “relitigate the Iraq War” [3]. The crisis is creating a significant conflict over constitutional war powers. While a legal expert asserts the President “doesn’t need permission’ from Congress to strike” [4], Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has issued a direct public warning to the President against such an attack [5]. Compounding the situation, Iran has formally rejected the President’s nuclear terms. In an effort to control the information landscape, the President has also issued a “Dire Warning to Reporters” who inquire about Iran’s specific nuclear capabilities [6].
