25.06.2025The Day Iran Admitted Nuclear Damage
Iran's foreign ministry acknowledged for the first time that its nuclear installations were "considerably damaged" by the strikes, contradicting earlier denials. This admission emerged as Trump continued claiming at the NATO summit that Iran's nuclear program was "completely destroyed" for "decades," while U.S. intelligence assessments leaked to media suggested damage would delay enrichment by only months.

The International Atomic Energy Agency director announced his organization had "lost visibility" of Iran's nuclear materials following the strikes. France received assurances that two French hostages detained in Tehran's Evin prison were unharmed despite Israeli strikes on the facility.

Domestically, violent storms killed two people including a 12-year-old child, with winds exceeding 120 km/h forcing suspension of National Assembly proceedings. Prime Minister Bayrou announced he would present pension reform results Thursday, while the far-right National Rally declared it would not support the left's censure motion, stating "his turn will come."

The newspapers report that Trump arrives at the NATO summit in the Netherlands as a celebrated peacemaker, with Le Figaro noting he accomplished "something no one else dared to do" in brokering the Iran-Israel ceasefire (BFMTV, Le Figaro, Libération). Nuclear sites reportedly remained intact during the twelve-day conflict, though Le Monde emphasizes the "tectonic effects" and diplomatic realignment across the Middle East remain unclear as "the dust has not yet settled" (Le Monde). Domestically, Prime Minister Bayrou faces mounting political isolation after pension negotiations collapsed Monday, with Le Point describing his "black Tuesday" and comparing his situation to former PM Barnier's downfall, while L'Express suggests he is "trapped by his method and obsessions" (France TV Info, Le Point, L'Express).

09:09Intelligence Contradicts Trump on Iran Nuclear Damage

The newspapers report conflicting assessments of damage to Iran's nuclear program following the twelve-day war. Trump claims at the NATO summit in the Netherlands that "the Iranian nuclear program is dead" and won't produce bombs "for a long time," while U.S. intelligence contradicts him, estimating only a "few months" delay in uranium enrichment capabilities (BFMTV, France TV Info, Le Figaro, Le Parisien, L'Express). CNN and The New York Times accessed Defense Intelligence Agency conclusions showing the operation likely caused minimal long-term impact, directly contradicting Trump's assertions of "total destruction" spanning "decades" (France TV Info, L'Express). French media examines European strategy toward Trump at the NATO summit, with Le Monde's editorialist questioning how far Europe should accommodate a president who shows "disdain for Europeans," arguing it's time to change methods beyond "flattery and concessions" (Le Monde).

10:16Trump's Nuclear Claims Disputed

The newspapers report that Trump continues his victory lap at the NATO summit in the Netherlands, claiming he made Israeli aircraft "turn around" and asserting Iran's nuclear program has been delayed for "decades" (BFMTV, Le Figaro, Le Monde, Le Parisien, L'Express). However, Les Echos casts doubt on the effectiveness of the strikes, reporting that uranium stocks were merely relocated and underground facilities remained intact. Trump warns Tehran that "if they start again, we will strike again" while insisting on the "total destruction" of Iranian nuclear sites (Le Figaro, Le Monde). Domestically, Prime Minister Bayrou faces political isolation after pension reform negotiations collapsed, with Libération describing his "strategy of a thousand and one nights" as he searches for solutions while budget challenges loom ahead.

11:49Intelligence Disputes Trump's Nuclear Victory Claims

The newspapers report growing skepticism about Trump's claims regarding Iran's nuclear program damage. While Trump continues asserting he "completely destroyed" Iran's nuclear capabilities for "decades," leaked classified U.S. intelligence reports suggest the strikes only delayed uranium enrichment by "several months" rather than years (Le Parisien, L'Express). The disagreement between Trump's public statements and intelligence assessments dominates coverage as he attends the NATO summit in the Netherlands. European media scrutinizes Trump's approach to allies, with Le Monde's editorialist questioning how far Europe should accommodate Trump's "disdain for Europeans" through "flattery and concessions" (Le Monde, Le Point). Domestically, a surprise emerges from New York's Democratic primary where Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old progressive Muslim socialist, defeated former governor Andrew Cuomo (Le Figaro).

13:25Iran Admits Nuclear Damage

The newspapers report Iran has admitted its nuclear installations suffered "considerable damage" from Israeli strikes, marking the first official acknowledgment of the attack's impact (BFMTV, Le Monde, L'Express). Trump continues claiming "total destruction" of Iranian nuclear sites at the NATO summit in the Netherlands, insisting Tehran won't manufacture bombs "for a long time," while leaked classified documents suggest the damage delayed uranium enrichment by only months (Le Monde, L'Express). France received assurances that its two remaining hostages, Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris, were unharmed despite Israeli strikes hitting Tehran's Evin prison where they are detained (France TV Info). Iran executed three men accused of spying for Israel's Mossad, claiming they attempted to import assassination equipment (Le Parisien). NATO countries committed to spending 5% of GDP on security by 2035, with Trump calling the summit "fantastic" (Le Figaro).

15:20Iran Admits Nuclear Damage After Ceasefire

The newspapers report that the 12-day war between Israel and Iran has ended with a ceasefire, but debates intensify over the actual damage inflicted. Iran admits its nuclear installations were "severely damaged" while Trump claims "total destruction" that will prevent bomb production for decades (BFMTV, Le Monde, L'Express). However, nuclear specialists suggest Iran had anticipated the attacks and question the long-term impact, with expert David Albright stating Iran must now accept "zero enrichment" due to being militarily and economically diminished (L'Express). The ceasefire offers temporary relief to Iran's clerical regime, though doubts persist about the extent of nuclear program damage (France TV Info, BFMTV). Meanwhile, NATO countries have committed to spending 5% of GDP on defense by 2035, with Trump celebrating this as a "great success" at the summit (Les Echos).

17:37B-2 Pilots Flew 37 Hours to Hit Iran

The newspapers report on the aftermath of the 12-day Israel-Iran war, with French President Macron reaffirming his position that Iran should "never acquire nuclear weapons" after speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu (France TV Info). Le Figaro provides detailed coverage of the American B-2 bomber pilots who flew 37 hours without landing to strike Iranian nuclear facilities with GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs, while Le Monde offers a comprehensive timeline of the conflict from June 12-24. The coverage shifts from previous disputes over damage assessments to operational details and diplomatic responses. Domestically, the government announces that meal vouchers used by 5.5 million employees will be extended for Sunday use across all businesses (Le Parisien). NATO developments continue with Trump securing European commitments for increased defense spending, as reported at the summit in The Hague (Les Echos, Libération).

The newspapers report that violent storms have killed two people in France, including a 12-year-old child, with 42-44 departments under orange alert as winds reached over 120 km/h (BFMTV, France TV Info, Le Figaro, Le Parisien).

Meanwhile, diplomatic discussions continue as Macron told Netanyahu about the importance of Iran negotiations, while Trump announced US-Iran talks scheduled for next week (Le Monde). Valeurs Actuelles reports that Israel killed nine Iranian nuclear scientists in their sleep, though this claim appears in isolation without corroboration from other French sources.
