US steps into war between Israel and Iran, strikes 3 Iranian nuclear sites
President Donald Trump says the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel’s effort to decapitate the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a...

'Worst Ally': Army Colonel Removed From US Joint Chiefs Staff Over Israel Criticism A United States Army colonel has been removed from his position on the Pentagon staff supporting the Joint Chiefs after his Israel-critical social media posts were publicized by Jewish News Syndicate (JNS). Until this week, Army Col Nathan McCormack led the Joint Chiefs of Staff's Levant and Egypt branch. That team is part of the Joint Staff J5, which proposes strategies, plans, and policy recommendations to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Within hours of Tuesday's JNS report, McCormack was yanked from his post, with a Pentagon official telling JNS:“The individual is being returned to [the Army] while the matter is being investigated...The information on the X account does not reflect the position of the Joint Staff or the Department of Defense...Our global alliances and partnerships are vital to our national security, enhancing our collective defense, deterrence and operational reach.” Colonel Nathan McCormack was commissioned as an infantry second lieutenant two months after the United States invaded Iraq over false claims of a nuclear weapons program Here are the published comments that led to McCormack's removal: May 2025: "Netanyahu and his judeosupremacist cronies are determined to prolong the conflict for their own goals: either to remain in power or to annex the land."June 2024: "The more Israel's death cult escalates toward Hezbollah, the more we will see show-of-force attacks like this and 13 April." June 2024: “The U.S. has not been an honest broker. We have overwhelmingly enabled Israel’s bad behavior.”May 2024: Amid talk of pushing Gaza residents into other countries, McCormack wrote, "[Israel] wants to expel them and cleanse 'Eretz Israel' of ethnic Palestinians." April 2024: “I’ve lately been considering whether we might be Israel’s proxy and not realized it yet. Our worst ‘ally.’ We get literally nothing out of the ‘partnership’ other than the enmity of millions of people in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.” Oct 2023: "I agree that Israel has an absolute right to respond militarily, and that civilians may legally be caught in the crossfire, but you are ignoring the requirement of proportionality. Israel’s responses always (always—not hyperbole) disproportionately target Palestinian civilians." The JNS report that prompted McCormack's removal from the J5 gave no indication of how his semi-anonymous posts came to the pro-Israel outlet's attention. Up until his 2021 death, zealously pro-Israel billionaire and mega-campaign-contributor Sheldon Adelson was JNS's largest single donor. The JNS article included a disapproving quote from another Adelson-funded entity, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which -- despite its generic-sounding name -- declared in its initial tax-exempt-status-filing that its goal was to "enhance Israel's image in North America." McCormack's posts were made on X under an account using the name "Nate" and the handle "@mick_or_mack," with a profile that used a cartoon version of himself. His account no longer exists, but several of his posts are still viewable via internet archive links. McCormack didn't strive for full anonymity, as he once posted a photo of a Meritorious Service Medal certificate showing his full name. In May, he replied to an X user, "I’m the Joint Staff J5 Israel branch chief.” In Dec 2008, then-Captain McCormack speaks to a sheikh in Butoma, Iraq while serving as a 25th Infantry Division company commander (photo: US Army) The Pentagon told JNS another officer has been assigned to "look into the matter," but it's not clear that McCormack violated any Army policies. The branch's social media guide says "soldiers are encouraged to express their opinions of the political process online and offline." It advises soldiers to "avoid use of DoD titles, insignia, uniforms or symbols in a way that could imply DoD sanction or endorsement of content on your personal page." McCormack's profile included a disclaimer that his posts “do not represent the position of the Department of Defense or any of its components.” Then again, one of his posts might be read as attributing a position to the DOD, as he wrote:“Along with the World Health Organization and United Nations, we (Department of Defense, Department of State and the U.S. Intelligence Community) consider the Gaza Health Ministry figures to be generally reliable (though not precise), but probably less so now than they were originally due to the general destruction and chaos in Gaza.”Even if he's spared any formal discipline, it's safe to say there's zero chance McCormack will be returning to his position on the J5 staff. Beyond its general influence over US policy and personnel, Israel has a history of a strong presence directly inside the Pentagon. Here's how former Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson -- who served as Secretary of State Colin Powell's chief of staff amid the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq -- described what he witnessed: 🚨Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: ‘It’s UNQUESTIONABLE that the Epstein business was heavily influenced by MOSSAD!’‘I watched Mossad take over the Pentagon in 2002. The Pentagon was infiltrated by Mossad. They did not need any identification to get through the river entrance to the... pic.twitter.com/rZtnFTPc1k— Going Underground (@GUnderground_TV) June 9, 2025A Dallas native and Texas A&M graduate, McCormack was commissioned as an infantry second lieutenant just two months after the United States invaded Iraq based on the false pretense that Saddam Hussein was developing a nuclear weapon. As the United States contemplated that invasion, Benjamin Netanyahu told Congress: "There is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking and is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons—no question whatsoever.” "If you take out Saddam, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region." McCormack would later be deployed to Iraq, where he surely witnessed for himself the utter emptiness of Netanyahu's claims, and the catastrophic consequences of acting on them. As the Pentagon participated in deliberations over joining another Middle East war on nearly-identical premises, Colonel McCormack's contrarian perspective might have been particularly valuable at such a pivotal moment.

Ninth Circuit Strikes Down California's "1-In-30" Gun-Rationing Law Authored by Jonathan Turley,A unanimous panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has struck down California’s “1-in-30” gun rationing law as unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.The law restricted citizens to one gun purchase every 30 days and was based on a ridiculous rationale that was shredded by the three-judge panel.California Penal Code § 27535(a) states that individuals may not apply “to purchase more than one firearm within any 30-day period,” and § 27540(f) prohibits a firearms dealer from delivering any firearm if the dealer is notified that “the purchaser has made another application to purchase a handgun, semiautomatic centerfire rifle, completed frame or receiver, or firearm precursor part” within the preceding 30-day period.Writing for the court, Judge Danielle Jo Forrest found the California law facially unconstitutional. She wrote:California suggests that the Second Amendment only guarantees a right to possess a single firearm, and that Plaintiffs’ rights have not been infringed because they already possess at least one firearm. California is wrong. The Second Amendment protects the right of the people to “keep and bear Arms,” plural. U.S. Const. amend. II (emphasis added). This “guarantee[s] the individual right to possess and carry weapons.” Heller, 554 U.S. at 592 (emphasis added).And not only is “Arms” stated in the plural, but this term refers to more than just guns. It includes other weapons and instruments used for defense. See id. at 581. California’s interpretation would mean that the Second Amendment only protects possession of a single weapon of any kind. There is no basis for interpreting the constitutional text in that way.The court rightfully dismisses the state’s forced and frankly frivolous argument.It then delivers a particularly lethal line on the historical prong of the analysis.Next, the panel held that California’s law is not supported by this nation’s tradition of firearms regulation. Bruen requires a “historical analogue,” not a “historical twin,” for a modern firearm regulation to pass muster. Here, the historical record does not even establish a historical cousin for California’s one-gun-a-month law.Here is the opinion: Nguyen v. Bontan Tyler DurdenSat, 06/21/2025 - 22:10

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” President Donald Trump said Saturday. The nuclear facilities were hit with massive bombs delivered from B-2 stealth bombers. U.S. Navy submarines also joined the attack, launching more than 30 Tomahawk missiles into Iran. Trump’s decision to join Israel’s war against Iran sharply escalates the conflict and appears to push any diplomatic solution out of reach. President Donald Trump on Saturday said the United States had attacked Iranian nuclear sites, pushing America into Israel‘s war with its longtime rival and regional power.“A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime, Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan,” Trump said in a speech from the White House.U.S. Navy submarines also launched more than 30 Tomahawk missiles into Iran, two defense officials told NBC News.Trump said the U.S. and Israel, “worked as a team, like perhaps no team has ever worked before. We’ve gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat” to the American ally.The president congratulated the U.S. military on “an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades. Hopefully we will no longer need their services in this capacity.”“There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left,” Trump said.“Tonight was the most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill, most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes,” he added.Trump watched the strikes unfold Saturday from the White House Situation Room, where he was joined by his national security team and closest aides.White House | Via ReutersU.S. President Donald Trump holds a meeting alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Situation Room at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S. June 21, 2025.The president initially announced the strikes on social media Saturday, where he wrote that “a full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.”It was unclear late Saturday precisely how much damage the U.S. strikes had done to the heavily fortified Iranian nuclear sites, or whether any American military assets were still active in the country.Earlier in the day, several U.S. Air Force B-2 stealth bombers reportedly left Missouri, heading west over the Pacific Ocean. The massive planes are some of the only U.S. aircraft capable of carrying the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), a 30,000-pound bomb known as the “bunker buster.”The bunker buster bombs are widely viewed as the only conventional, non-nuclear weapons capable of inflicting serious damage on the Fordo nuclear facility, which is built into the side of a mountain.Saturday’s action puts the United States in direct armed conflict with Iran, a massive escalation in its involvement with Israel’s effort to cripple Tehran’s nuclear program and topple its regime.Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the U.S. strikes, a White House official told NBC News.The decision to attack Iran once again engages the American military in active warfare in the Middle East — something Trump had vowed to avoid during his second term in office.It also marks a major shift from just 48 hours ago, when Trump said the United States would take “two weeks” to see if the conflict between Israel and Iran could be resolved diplomatically.“Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,” Trump said Thursday in a statement issued by the White House.Behind the scenes, the Trump administration has been trying to reach a deal with Iran over its nuclear program, and Trump in recent months had reportedly urged Netanyahu to hold off on a strike.Graphic by SYLVIE HUSSON, NALINI LEPETIT-CHELLA, SABRINA BLANCHARD| AFP | via Getty ImagesInfographic with a map of Iran showing nuclear sites, reactors and uranium mines. That diplomatic path may now be closed. Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said recently that “any American military entry will undoubtedly be met with irreparable damage.”“If they enter militarily, they will face harm that they cannot recover from,” he added in a statement read on Iranian state television.After the U.S. strikes, it was unclear what options remained for an Iranian retaliation against the United States.One possibility with direct impacts on the global economy and supply chain would be if Tehran were to set landmines down in the Strait of Hormuz, said Helima Croft, head of global commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets.The narrow body of water between Iran and Oman is the transit point for about 20% of the world’s oil, via tanker ships. Landmines would effectively close the strait, because ships would not know where the mines were placed.“We’re already getting reports that Iran is jamming ship transponders very, very aggressively,” Croft told CNBC’s “Fast Money” on Wednesday.QatarEnergy and the Greek Shipping Ministry have already warned their vessels to avoid the strait as much as possible, Croft said.More such alerts were expected following Saturday’s U.S. attack on Iranian sites.Getty ImagesInfographic with map of the Gulf showing maritime tanker traffic in September 2024 through the Strait of HormuzTrump and previous American presidents have long insisted that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.During his first term, Trump pulled the U.S. out of a nuclear agreement that the Obama administration and other nations had brokered with Iran in 2015, arguing it failed to protect America or deter Tehran’s enrichment aims.Israel has long claimed that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, and has threatened to strike its nuclear program before. But until now, Tel Aviv has limited its military engagement to targeted assassinations and cyber attacks.Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence, testified before Congress in March that the U.S. intelligence community “continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.”But Trump has repeatedly dismissed his own Cabinet official’s assessment.“I don’t care what she said. I think they were very close to having one,” Trump said on Air Force One last week.

This is your weekly lookahead at the key global events that could move markets and shape policy. NATO leaders meet in The Hague with Trump expected to ramp up pressure on Europe over defense spending. Summer Davos kicks off in Tianjin amid China-U.S. trade tensions, while Germany hosts its Day of Industry as economic sentiment improves.After a week of global market jitters, the reaction to U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities will be front and center over the coming days. Meanwhile, a trio of heavyweight events could also shape the economic and geopolitical mood. From NATO tensions in The Hague to trade talks in Tianjin and industrial optimism in Berlin — investors will be watching closely. The stage is set for tense talks at the NATO Summit in The Hague on Wednesday where U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to exert further pressure on Europe to boost defense spending Summer Davos takes place in Tianjin, China from Tuesday to Thursday with China trade talks underway Day of Industry in Germany on Monday and Tuesday as engine of growth restartsU.S.-Iran-IsraelAddressing the nation on Saturday evening, U.S. President Donald Trump said strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear sites were a “spectacular military success” that “completely obliterated” the country’s major enrichment facilities.The strikes, which mark the first time the U.S. has conducted a direct military attack on Iran, mark a dramatic escalation in geopolitical tensions. Trump’s claim about the result of the operation could not be independently confirmed.Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi slammed the U.S. strikes, describing them as “outrageous” and saying the country “reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people.” Global investors will be scrambling to assess the fallout.On the DefensiveNATO meetings with Trump in attendance have a history of being dramatic. Back in 2017, the White House leader consistently questioned America’s commitment to the alliance, and accused other members of owing “massive amounts of money” to the overall share of defense spending.Fast forward to 2025 and the next NATO Leaders Summit with Trump is set to take place in The Hague, the Netherlands on Wednesday. Some problems are familiar – while defense spending has increased dramatically across Europe, countries like Spain risk derailing talks by calling the 5% of GDP target “unreasonable.” In addition, the war in Ukraine rages on. Meanwhile other problems are new – hostilities are rising between Israel and Iran, alongside other neighbors in the Middle East, are testing international relations to the limit. U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whittaker, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Europe” that the region should not expect a free ride from the U.S. on defense spending, as “the 5% target is not a negotiating tactic.” Summer DavosOn the other side of the world, the Chinese city of Tianjin plays host to the World Economic Forum’s Meeting of New Champions running from Tuesday to Thursday, also known as the Summer Davos. Technology dominates the agenda at a tricky time for relations between China and the West, as trade negotiations with the U.S. are still on-going.Trump may have bought more time for TikTok, extending the deadline for China’s ByteDance to divest the social media platform’s U.S. business to September, but the latest round of trade talks in London led to a vague stand-off between the two superpowers, with no official readout. Speaking to CNBC right after those negotiations, U.S .Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was asked if current tariffs on China would not shift again, to which he replied, “you can definitely say that.”But this may do little to ease the conversations between Chinese officials and corporates in Tianjin, and the international delegates in attendance, who will be looking for more certainty from both the White House and Beijing.Engine of GrowthCloser to home, it’s the Day of Industry conference in Germany on Monday and Tuesday. This annual meeting in Berlin highlights German economic policy and global trade strategies. It could be a good time for the new government to be touting Europe’s so-called Engine of Growth, with four economic institutes raising their 2025 and 2026 GDP growth forecasts for Europe’s largest economy.During a recent trip to Washington DC, Chancellor Friedrich Merz dodged the ire that other world leaders have faced in the Oval Office, with Trump’s focus mostly dominated by his public spat with Elon Musk. But it’s not all clear roads ahead for Germany, as the country’s auto industry body reports that domestic auto-makers have shouldered around 500 million euros ($576.1 million) in costs associated with Trump’s import tariffs.

The Earth's magnetosphere is a giant magnetic field that arises from the flow of material deep inside the planet. Because the flow of material isn't constant, the strength and shape of the magnetosphere can change over geologic time. But researchers have found that changes in the magnetosphere seem to be correlated with fluctuations in the amount of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. Both could be responding to a single underlying process.

After more than three months in ICE detention, Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil returned to the New York area where his harrowing ordeal first began. Immigration authorities had arrested Khalil, 30, in March at the university housing complex where he lived in New York City. He was quickly transported thousands of miles away to a detention center in Louisiana, where he spent the last few months.Khalil remained defiant as he spoke to reporters and supporters on Saturday afternoon upon his arrival at Newark International Airport. “Your messages have kept me going. Still the fight is far from over, the genocide is still happening in Gaza, Israel is still waging a full war against Palestine,” said Khalil, who was flanked by his wife Dr. Noor Abdalla and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “The U.S. government is funding this genocide and Columbia University is investing in this genocide. This is why I was protesting, this is why I will continue protesting with every one of you, not only if they threaten me with detention. Even if they would kill me, I would still speak up for Gaza.”When asked what his message would be to the Trump administration, Khalil said, “Just the fact that I’m here sends a message.”“The fact that all of these attempts to suppress pro-Palestine voices have failed now,” he said. “This is the message. My existence is a message.”Ocasio-Cortez said Khalil’s imprisonment for politically motivated. “Everybody agrees that persecution based on political speech is wrong and is a violation of all of our First Amendment rights, not just Mahmoud’s,” she said.His unprecedented detention has sparked national outrage.Further fueling the controversy, Abdalla, an American, gave birth to the couple’s first son in Aprilwhile he remained behind bars.Upon his release in Louisiana on Friday, Khalil addressed reporters briefly, saying he was excited to return to New York City and see his family.“Although justice prevailed,” he said upon his release, “it’s long, very long overdue. And this shouldn’t have taken three months.”FloridaJun 19‘Alligator Alcatraz': Florida AG proposes new migrant detention center in EvergladesImmigrationJun 17Brad Lander, NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate, detained by ICE at courtImmigrationJun 17Spanish-language journalist who documents immigration raids detained by ICE after protest arrest“Trump and his administration, they chose the wrong person for this,” he added. “That doesn’t mean that there is a right person for this. There’s no right person who should be detained for actually protesting a genocide, for protesting their university, Columbia University.”Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin on Friday denounced the judicial order freeing Khalil and the judge who issued it.“This is yet another example of how out of control members of the judicial branch are undermining national security,” McLaughlin said in a statement. “Their conduct not only denies the result of the 2024 election, it also does great harm to our constitutional system by undermining public confidence in the courts.”The Trump administration claimed it had the authority to detain and deport the pro-Palestinian student activist, arguing that his presence in the U.S. threatened national security. Another charge against Khalil alleges that he omitted details about his work history and membership in organizations on his permanent residency application.The government cited an obscure provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 that gives Secretary of State Marco Rubio authority to “personally determine” whether a foreign national can remain in the U.S. on national security grounds.An NBC News review of more than 100 pages of court filings found that prosecutors relied on unverified tabloid reports and anecdotal claims, raising doubts about the strength of their case for deporting Khalil.Less than 10 minutes after Khalil, who has no criminal history, was released from the detention center in Jena, Louisiana, the Trump administration filed a notice of appeal. A lawyer representing Khalil vowed to fight the appeal.Khalil helped lead student protests over the war in Gaza, where more than 55,000 people have been killed since Israel launched its war against Hamas. He also participated in negotiations with university officials at Columbia last year, when protests at the Ivy League school gripped national headlines for weeks and inspired similar demonstrations at universities around the world.Some Jewish students at universities across the U.S. reported antisemitic incidents as the protest movement gained traction.Khalil was the first of several foreign academics apprehended by immigration authorities in the first months of Trump’s second term. Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk, a doctoral candidate from Turkey, was arrested outside her home in Somerville, Massachusetts, by immigration authorities on March 25. Viral street footage of her arrest showed Department of Homeland Security officials dressed in plain clothes surrounding Öztürk, grabbing her by the wrists and escorting her into an unmarked vehicle.Mohsen Mahdawi, a 34-year-old graduate student at Columbia who was born in the West Bank, was apprehended by immigration authorities during his naturalization interview in Vermont.Federal judges also ordered the release of both Öztürk and Mahdawi in recent weeks. Other notable cases include a Georgetown University professor who was detained by ICE and later released after a judicial order, and a Brown University professor who was deported to Lebanon.Maya Eaglin contributed.This article originally appeared on NBCNews.com.
