Iran launched its promised retaliation against American forces in the evening, firing missiles at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and facilities in Iraq. The attack concluded within hours with no American casualties, as Qatar's defense systems intercepted the incoming projectiles. Trump dismissed the response as "very weak" and revealed Iran had provided advance warning of the strikes.
Throughout the day, media reports questioned Trump's claims about "totally obliterating" Iranian nuclear facilities, with satellite imagery suggesting significant but incomplete damage. Multiple sources indicated Iran may have moved uranium stockpiles after receiving advance warning of the American strikes.
By late evening, Trump announced Israel and Iran had agreed to a "complete and total ceasefire" ending what he termed the "12 Day War." No confirmation emerged from either Israel or Iran. The Supreme Court separately handed Trump a victory on deportation policy, allowing removal of migrants to third countries.
