The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin on Sunday, warning that the ongoing conflict with Iran has significantly increased the threat environment across the United States. According to the bulletin, low-level cyberattacks targeting American networks are likely in the coming days, particularly from pro-Iranian hacktivist groups and cyber actors aligned with the Iranian regime. Officials also caution that Iran has a history of attempting to target U.S. government officials it holds responsible for past military actions, including the January 2020 killing of an Iranian commander. The bulletin further warns that the risk of violence within the U.S.

President Trump on Sunday hailed the overnight airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities as a “success,” claiming that the strikes had “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites. However, his bold public statements contrast with more cautious assessments from both U.S. and Israeli military officials, who suggest that while significant damage was inflicted, Iran’s nuclear capabilities may not be entirely neutralized. In his early remarks, President Trump declared that the U.S. had successfully destroyed Iran’s most critical nuclear sites, including the heavily fortified Fordo facility.

The morning after the United States launched a surprise air campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, top American officials hailed the mission as a decisive success — and delivered stern warnings to Tehran against further escalation. Vice President J.D. Vance praised the operation, dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer, declaring: “We destroyed the Iranian nuclear program… and we did it without endangering the lives of American pilots. That’s an incredible thing.” Vance emphasized that the mission was not a prelude to war but rather a bold act of prevention. “We do not want war with Iran. We actually want peace — but we want peace in the context of them not having a nuclear weapons program.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu went to the Kosel on Monday to thank Hashem for the many nissim Hashem has performed for Am Yisrael since the launch of the war against Iran. The Western Wall Heritage Foundation also composed a special tefillah of thanks for US President Donald Trump, “who has taken it upon himself to banish evil and darkness from the world and support Israel and the Jewish people.” In the video below, Netanyahu is seen reciting the tefillah together with Kosel Rav HaRav Shmuel Rabinowitz. Netanyahu also filmed a video standing in front of the Kosel, saying: “Ten days ago, before Am Yisrael’s historic operation, I stood here and put a note [in the Kosel].

Washington early Sunday unleashed its massive “bunker-buster” bombs on Iran’s Fordo fuel enrichment plant. Those bombs were widely seen as the best chance of damaging or destroying Fordo, built deep into a mountain and untouched during Israel’s weeklong offensive. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the operation before an official briefing, confirmed their use in Sunday’s attack. The U.S. is the only military capable of dropping the weapons, and the movement of B2 stealth bombers toward Asia on Saturday had signaled possible activity by the U.S. Israeli leaders had made no secret of their hopes that President Donald Trump would join their week-old war against Iran, though they had also suggested they had backup plans for destroying the site.

U.S. forces have attacked three Iranian nuclear and military sites, further upping the stakes in the Israel-Iran war. President Donald Trump said the strikes, which he described as “very successful,” had hit the Natanz, Fordo and Isfahan sites, with Fordo being the primary target. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran confirmed there were attacks early Sunday at all three nuclear sites. Israel launched a surprise barrage of attacks on sites in Iran on June 13, which Israeli officials said was necessary to head off what they claimed was an imminent threat that Iran would build nuclear bombs. The U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel’s war aimed at decapitating the country’s nuclear program. The U.S.

Iran has spent decades building multi-tiered military capabilities at home and across the region that were at least partly aimed at deterring the United States from attacking it. By entering Israel’s war, the U.S. may have removed the last rationale for holding them in reserve. That could mean a wave of attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East, an attempt to close a key bottleneck for global oil supplies or a dash to develop a nuclear weapon with what remains of Iran’s disputed program after American strikes on three key sites. A decision to retaliate against the U.S. and its regional allies would give Iran a far larger target bank and one that is much closer than Israel, allowing it to potentially use its missiles and drones to greater effect. The U.S.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar revealed on Motzei Shabos that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attempted to murder Israelis in Cyprus. Ynet reported that Cypriot police thwarted the plan by arresting a man suspected of planning an imminent terror attack against Israelis on the island. “Thanks to the activity of the Cypriot security authorities, in cooperation with Israeli security services, the terror attack was thwarted,” Sa’ar wrote on X. Israel’s Channel 12 reported last week that Israeli intelligence officials received information indicating that Iran is attempting to attack Israeli targets abroad, including the locations where Israeli airplanes were evacuated. The Shin Bet increased forces in Europe in order to thwart potential attacks.

US airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility appear to have left at least six large craters, pointing to the use of bunker busting bombs, a CNN analysis of satellite imagery found. The images captured by satellite company Maxar showed six visible, separate impact craters in two nearby locations at Fordow — a highly secretive site buried deep in the mountains. The craters can be seen along a ridge running over the underground complex. Earlier Sunday, a US official confirmed to CNN the US had used B-2 bomber planes to drop more than a dozen massive “bunker buster” bombs as part of the attack on Fordow and two other nuclear sites.

President Trump gave the final go-ahead to strike Iran on Saturday afternoon at his private club in New Jersey, the Wall Street Journal reported. His order came after he said he would make a decision on the matter in two weeks. “The goal was to create a situation when everyone wasn’t expecting it,” said a senior administration official. The decision was made after direct coordination with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, the report said. A U.S. official said that the Trump administration conveyed to Iran that the strikes were a one-time attack, not the start of a war. Last Tuesday, Trump approved plans to strike Iran but withheld a final order. “There was real debate earlier in the week about what we should do,” said the senior official.
