⌨The newspapers report that Trump claims "monumental damage" from Operation "Midnight Hammer," with the US dropping a "full charge of bombs" on Iran's Fordo nuclear facility and targeting two other sites (BFMTV, Le Parisien). Iran denounces the strikes as "aggression" and promises retaliation, saying it is ready to defend itself "by all necessary means" (BFMTV, Le Parisien). Analysis focuses on Ali Khamenei's isolation in a bunker with limited response options, as attacking American bases in the Gulf would risk regime survival (Le Figaro). Trump faces domestic contradiction between his military action and peace promises, with a majority of Americans, including some from his own camp, opposing new conflicts (Le Monde). Separately, a 17-year-old was arrested for planning ISIS-inspired attacks on synagogues, sex shops, and festive events according to Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau (France TV Info).
