23.06.2025Day Iran Struck Back Then Ceasefire
Iran responded to the previous day's American nuclear facility strikes by launching rockets at US bases in Qatar and Iraq, with initial reports emerging around 5 PM. Qatar confirmed no casualties from the attack on American installations within its territory. The escalation prompted Trump and his team to convene emergency meetings at the White House.

By late evening, Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, marking an abrupt end to the cycle of retaliation that began with America's "Midnight Hammer" operation. The announcement came after financial markets had remained surprisingly stable despite the military exchanges.

Meanwhile, the Van Eerd corruption trial continued with judicial observations about the former Jumbo executive's collecting habits. Trump confirmed his attendance at the NATO summit in The Hague, where escalating Middle East tensions were expected to overshadow the alliance's agenda. Artists maintained their boycott of the Milkshake festival over Gaza policy, while domestic concerns included debates about elderly drivers following a fatal accident.

05:04Nuclear Damage Beyond Assessment

The newspapers report on mounting concerns over Trump's Iran bombardment as the IAEA states underground damage to nuclear facilities cannot be assessed (AD.nl). Coverage focuses on Trump's gamble that direct strikes could force regime change, though analysts warn he may have unleashed uncontrollable forces (NRC, Het Financieele Dagblad). The attack has repositioned America as a central Middle East player, directly entering the Israel-Iran conflict. Israel's nuclear double standard emerges as a discussion point, with coverage questioning whether the Israeli economy can sustain prolonged warfare across multiple fronts (Trouw, de Volkskrant). Domestically, artists explain their boycott of Milkshake festival over Gaza policy, while violence spreads with a suicide attack on a Damascus church increasing casualties (Het Parool, Reformatorisch Dagblad).

Despite American attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities creating global political tension, financial markets remain stable with analysts questioning why hard market reactions have not materialized (Het Financieele Dagblad). An NRC analysis reveals the Netherlands has largely stagnated over five years, with the government operating in caretaker capacity nearly half the time, making effective governance increasingly difficult through examination of thousands of legislative proposals (NRC). A corruption case emerges as an Amsterdam court employee sold information to criminals, leading to attacks and possibly a liquidation (Het Parool). Coverage evaluates Rutte's first nine months as NATO chief amid these developments (Trouw).
