The United States, under President Trump, joined Israel’s conflict with Iran, launching coordinated airstrikes on three major nuclear sites in Iran—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Trump announced the mission's success, describing the damage as "monumental."

Using B-2 bombers and advanced bunker-buster bombs, the U.S. military inflicted severe damage on Iran's underground facilities. Pentagon officials said the mission marked the most extensive B-2 operation since 2001.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth praised the mission, stating that it destroyed Iran’s nuclear capability without targeting Iranian citizens or troops. He emphasized that the mission followed extensive planning and warned Iran against retaliation.

The strikes were preceded by Israel weakening Iran’s air defenses. Trump suggested a regime change in Iran may be necessary if its leaders cannot reform. (NYP/VFI News)

“Dear Lord, we pray for wisdom among world leaders. We thank You for the incredible accomplishments that the Israeli forces have had so far in destroying strategic locations in Iran, and for the US involvement as well. We pray for protection over innocent lives on both sides and that peace will prevail. May threats of nuclear warfare be replaced with healthy foreign relations between Israel and Iran under new leadership.”

President Javier Milei declared that Iran is an enemy of Argentina and reiterated his support of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In an interview, Milei emphasized that Iran seeks to destroy Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, and warned that negotiations with such a regime are futile.

He stated that Israel is fighting the battle for the West and is being demonized by leftist media aligned with the Iranian theocracy. Milei argued that the attack on Israel is also an attack on Western, Judeo-Christian values and capitalism.

Highlighting past Iranian-sponsored terror attacks in Argentina, Milei insisted that Iran is not just Israel's enemy, but also Argentina's. He noted that his administration formally designated Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist groups. He criticized former President Kirchner for her controversial 2013 memorandum with Iran regarding the AMIA bombing.

Milei concluded by praising Israel for its targeted strikes and its role in protecting the West from nuclear threats. (BB/VFI News)

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance." – Psalm 33:12

At least one missile launched by Iran toward Israel on June 19 carried a cluster bomb warhead. The warhead scattered around 20 smaller munitions over an 8-kilometer radius, hitting a home in Azor and leaving other unexploded bombs, posing further risk.

These munitions lack guidance and fall indiscriminately, a fact that has raised concerns among international watchdogs. While some exploded, many did not, essentially acting as landmines. IDF sappers have disposed of 20 such bombs and continue to search for more.

Cluster munitions are widely condemned for their indiscriminate nature, yet neither Iran nor Israel are not signatories to the 2008 ban. Thursday's missile barrage, which included conventional warheads, also hit hospitals and residential buildings in cities like Beersheba and Holon, wounding dozens.

Israel continues to defend its airspace while carrying out strategic strikes against Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure. (TOI/VFI News)

"Deliver me, O Lord, from evildoers; protect me from those who are violent." – Psalm 140:1

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel has destroyed at least half of Iran’s missile launchers and will target all of its nuclear facilities, including the fortified Fordow site. In a rare Hebrew interview, Netanyahu claimed the operation has been in the works for months.

He described Iran’s nuclear threat as existential and said the campaign aims to cripple Iran's military and paramilitary capabilities, including the Basij militia. Netanyahu compared Israeli resilience to the British during WWII and stated that U.S. support has helped replenish Israel’s missile defenses.

Israel’s strategic airstrikes also targeted regime symbols and communication hubs. Netanyahu refrained from discussing possible strikes on Iran’s Supreme Leader but emphasized that all necessary actions will continue. (TOI/VFI News)

“Heavenly Father, we ask for Your continued protection over Israel and her people. Guide her leaders with discernment and courage as they defend their nation from threats. Bring justice to the wicked and peace to the region.”

This beautiful hymn is a prayer from Deuteronomy 26:15, expressing a great desire that God would look upon us with an eye of love, complacency, and delight—and to grant the promises that He has made to us for abundance and prosperity. Enjoy this warm, personal communication with God, set to serene scenes and timeless tones from the Land.

On Sunday, June 22, Iran launched at least 30 missiles at Israel in two separate barrages, hours after U.S. airstrikes targeted its nuclear facilities. Israeli defense systems intercepted most of the missiles, but impacts were reported in cities including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Ness Ziona.

At least 20 people were injured, including children, and multiple buildings were destroyed. Emergency responders set up casualty zones and worked to control fires and conduct search and rescue operations.

Additional UAVs launched from Iran were intercepted earlier in the day. Following the strikes, Israel closed its airspace, while border crossings to Sinai and Jordan remained operational. (INN/VFI News)

“Father God, we lift up the wounded and those who have suffered loss. Be their healer and comforter. Grant peace and safety to Israel, and give strength and wisdom to her defenders. Protect every city and home from further harm.”

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that the American strikes on Iran's nuclear sites have "obliterated" its nuclear ambitions. Speaking at the Pentagon, Hegseth emphasized the operation's precision and its goal of neutralizing threats without harming civilians.

He praised the mission's operational security and the seamless cooperation with Israel. The strikes represented the longest B-2 bomber mission since 2001 and featured the first use of MOP bunker-buster bombs in combat.

Hegseth reiterated America's message to Iran: avoid retaliation and pursue peace. He highlighted that the mission was months in the making and a demonstration of allied military strength. (INN/VFI News)

"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn." – Isaiah 54:17

Iran’s parliament has voted to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil flows. If approved by Iran’s Supreme Council, the move would block $1 billion in daily shipments and escalate global energy tensions.

Oil prices surged nearly 4% following the announcement. The Strait is only 20 miles wide and easily susceptible to blockades via underwater mines or missile attacks.

Military experts warn the move could be self-destructive, as Iran also relies on the Strait for its own imports. The U.S. Fifth Fleet and allied navies are patrolling the region and are prepared for potential conflict. (NYP/VFI News)

“Lord, as tensions rise across the nations due to the situation with Iran, we pray for the protection of global resources and economies. Let wisdom prevail among leaders, and may all actions lead to stability and peace.”

Following the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Western Wall with his wife, Sara, to offer prayers of gratitude for the success of the mission and President Trump’s support.

Joined by the rabbi of the Western Wall and the site’s heritage director, Netanyahu recited psalms of thanksgiving. He placed a note between the stones declaring: “Am Yisrael kam – Am Yisrael chai!” (The Nation of Israel has risen – The Nation of Israel lives!)

Netanyahu said the timing of the prayer mirrored his earlier visit before Operation Rising Lion began. This act of faith was seen as a public expression of national unity and appreciation for U.S. involvement. (INN/VFI News)
