23.06.2025The day Trump declared victory over Iran
Trump opened the morning claiming "annihilation" of Iranian nuclear sites while coining the acronym "MIGA" and discussing regime change. Israeli forces conducted what they described as their largest daylight assault on Tehran, dropping 100 bombs in two hours and targeting regime symbols including the Revolutionary Guards headquarters, Evin prison, and the countdown clock to Israel's destruction.

By afternoon, Iran responded with missile strikes against US bases in Qatar and Iraq, though all projectiles were intercepted without casualties. The New York Times reported Qatar had been forewarned of the attacks, suggesting coordination. Trump thanked Tehran for the advance warning, calling their response "weak."

Late evening brought Trump's sudden announcement of a complete ceasefire between Israel and Iran, with a 12-hour truce preceding the war's end. Italian media reported Tehran confirmed accepting the proposal, concluding what Trump termed a "12-day war."
