25.06.2025 โ‡ข The Day Trump Disputed His Own Intelligence
โŒจIntelligence assessments leaked overnight contradicted Trump's claims about Iran strike effectiveness, revealing the attacks only set back Iran's nuclear program by months rather than obliterating it completely. Trump responded with escalating fury, calling sources "scum" and "low-level losers" while maintaining his facilities were "completely destroyed."

At the NATO summit, Trump announced the US would meet with Iran next week while securing alliance commitment to 5% defense spending. Defense Secretary Hegseth and Secretary of State Rubio grudgingly acknowledged the intelligence leak's accuracy during questioning.

A stunning political upset unfolded in New York as Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the city's mayoral primary. Cuomo conceded by early morning, telling supporters "He won. He deserves it." Trump later called Mamdani a "Communist Lunatic" while progressives celebrated the victory as historic.

The fragile Israel-Iran ceasefire held despite Trump's expressed frustrations with both sides.

01:21โ‡ขIntelligence Contradicts Iran Strike Claims

โŒจThe newspapers report contradictory assessments of Saturday's US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, with intelligence agencies concluding the attacks only set back Iran's nuclear program by months rather than obliterating it completely.

The White House has responded angrily to the leaked assessment, with officials calling the source a "low-level loser" (HuffPost). Trump faced growing questions about the mission's success and dropped profanity when confronted about the discrepancy (The Daily Beast). Meanwhile, the Israel-Iran ceasefire remains in effect following Trump's intervention (The Epoch Times, LA Times). House Republicans rejected an impeachment motion against Trump over the Iran strikes, with most Democrats also voting against the measure (One America News Network). Senate Republicans are struggling with divisions over Trump's domestic agenda, particularly regarding Medicaid cuts and clean energy funding (NBC News).
