Tehran, Iran - 22 June 2025

STORYLINE:

Daily life in Tehran appeared largely unaffected Sunday, after U.S. strikes on nuclear and military sites in Iran and as exchanges between Iran and Israel continue.

No disruption to electricity, water or basic services were reported and some residents have now returned to the city after fleeing last week.

The U.S. military struck three sites in Iran early Sunday, inserting itself into Israel’s effort to destroy Iran's nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe.

Iran lashed out at the U.S. for crossing “a very big red line” with its risky decision to launch strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites with missiles and bunker-buster bombs.

The decision to directly involve the U.S. comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country’s air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities.

Hours after the U.S. struck three nuclear sites in Iran, Iran launched more than 40 missiles towards Israel on Sunday morning, injuring 23 people and destroying apartment buildings and homes in three cities across Israel.

The Israeli military said it carried out strikes Sunday targeting the Imam Hussein Strategic Missile Command Center in Yazd and missile launchers in Ahvaz, Bushehr and Isfahan.

Iran has not offered any details on the damage it has sustained in the Israeli bombardment.

Israeli strikes on Iran have killed at least 865 people and wounded 3,396 others, according to the Washington-based group Human Rights Activists. The group said of those dead, it identified 363 civilians and 215 security force personnel.

At least 24 people in Israel have been killed and over 1,000 wounded.

STORYLINE:

Millions of people flooded Avenida Paulista on Sunday during the 29th edition of the São Paulo LGBTQ+ Pride Parade, one of the largest in the world.

The parade features 17 themed floats, performances by Brazilian music icons, and strong political messages amid growing concerns over hate crimes and conservative pushback.

This year’s theme, “Aging with Pride: Long Life to Diversity,” highlights the contributions and challenges of older LGBTQ+ individuals who paved the way for rights and visibility in Brazil and beyond.

"I participated in the first [LGBTQ+ Parade] and there were around 200 of us. Today we will have around three to four million people here," said Toni Reis, who was participating with his husband, David Harrad.

Reis and his husband were one of the first gay couples to get married legally in Brazil, and during Sunday's parade, he recalled how the Pride Parade has evolved over the years.

"It has improved a lot. Today we have sponsorship, people are more open," he said.

"In the first editions, people would come wearing masks because they were embarrassed to show themselves and lose their jobs,” he said.

The event saluted the generation of activists who lived through dictatorship, criminalization, the AIDS crisis, and decades of stigma.

This year’s Pride comes as Brazil remains one of the countries with the highest rates of violence against LGBTQ+ people, even as it boasts some of the most progressive laws in the region.

"Bombing on Iranian nuclear facilities, I think that was a very intelligent decision by the President of the United States, Donald Trump. Hence why I'm wearing make America great again, because if we let them do what they are going to do, then not only is it going to be wiped out, but we as Americans, assuming you are one, we will be the next target. They're not afraid to kill us."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Dana Cote, New York resident:

"I'm shocked and not shocked at the same time. I didn't think that it would go this far. There are no words. I'm just, today I'm very angry. I was here for 9/11 and to think that by bombing Iran that it wouldn't ignite extremists all over the world to attack us again. We've opened a can of worms that we're not going to be able to close, just sad."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Nichole Conaway, Detroit resident:

"We think this is a dangerous provocation. Trump's policy is clearly to stoke the fires and try to start World War III. It is in no way about negotiation. It's absolutely ridiculous for him to say that and nobody should believe that."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Steve Weisbrot, New York resident:

"I think the bombing was justified. I think that the bombing was done in a precision-like manner. It should have been done years ago. It's saving America, it's saving Israel, it's save an all-Western civilization from crazies on the steps of having a nuclear weapon."

13. Close of sign reading: "Money for people's needs, not war w/ Iran"

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Nas Issa, New York resident:

"Yeah, I mean, we're all here today, I think, to just say no to war with Iran. We don't want to be, you know, brought into another catastrophic regional war that's going to spend millions, if not billions, of American tax dollars, all while hundreds of Iranians are being bombed in their homes, while thousands have been injured, and we're here to say absolutely no to that.+

STORYLINE:

The U.S. military’s strike on three sites in Iran has raised urgent questions about what remains of Tehran’s nuclear program and how its weakened military might respond.

++AUDIO AS INCOMING++

“The Ministry of Interior, under direct guidance from the Syrian state, affirms that the security of places of worship is a red line. All efforts will be dedicated to ensuring that all citizens can freely practice their religious rituals and to safeguarding the national fabric, which enemies and criminals have repeatedly tried to tear apart, but failed, and will continue to fail.

10. Wide of news conference

STORYLINE:

A suicide bomber in Syria opened fire then detonated an explosive vest inside a Greek Orthodox church filled with people praying on Sunday, killing at least 22 and wounding 63 others, state media reported.

The attack on the church was the first of its kind in Syria in years, and comes as Damascus under its de facto Islamist rule is trying to win the support of minorities.

STORYLINE:

The walls of Jerusalem’s Old City were illuminated Sunday with the flags of the United States and Israel after Washington inserted itself into Israel’s war against Iran by attacking three nuclear sites with missiles and bunker-buster bombs.

The strikes were warmly welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who praised US President Donald Trump.

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran confirmed that attacks took place on the Fordo and Natanz enrichment facilities, as well as the Isfahan nuclear site.

Both Iran and the U.N. nuclear watchdog said there were no immediate signs of radioactive contamination around the sites.

Trump claimed the U.S. “completely and fully obliterated” the sites, but the Pentagon reported “sustained, extremely severe damage and destruction.”

Amid fears of a wider regional conflict, the Trump administration sent a clear message that it wanted to restart diplomatic talks with Iran.

Knob Noster, Missouri - 22 June 2025

1. Various of Bombers landing

2. B-2 "Spirit" Bombers flying around Whiteman Air Force Base in the distance

3. Various of Bomber flying

4. Various of bombers flying overhead

STORYLINE:

The stealth bombers that dropped massive bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities have begun returning to a U.S. base in Missouri.

An Associated Press journalist watched on a clear but windy Sunday afternoon as at least seven of the B-2 Spirit bombers came in for landing at Whiteman Air Force Base.

A first group of four of the stealth aircraft did a loop around the base before approaching a runway from the north. A final group of three arrived within 10 minutes.

U.S. officials have said that one B-2 group headed west from the Missouri base on Saturday, intended as a decoy to throw off Iranians. Another flight of seven quietly flew off eastward, ultimately engaging in the Iran mission.

The U.S. military struck three sites in Iran Saturday evening, inserting itself into Israel’s effort to destroy Iran's nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe.

The decision to directly involve the U.S. comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country’s air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities.

But U.S. and Israeli officials have said that American stealth bombers and a 30,000-pound (13,600-kilogram) bunker buster bomb they alone can carry offered the best chance of destroying heavily fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program buried deep underground.
