  • Trump says Iran's key nuclear sites "completely and fully obliterated" by strikes
    (22 Jun 2025)
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    POOL
    Washington DC - 21 June 2025
    1. Mid, U.S. President Donald Trump followed by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth walking toward podium
    2. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
    ++CONTINUES FROM PREVIOUS SHOT++
    "Thank you very much. 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 Esfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran the bully of the Middle East must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier. For 40 years, Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate. In particular, so many were killed by their general, Qasem Soleimani. I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue. I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before. And we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades."
    ++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
    STORYLINE:
    US President Donald Trump says Iran's key nuclear sites were “completely and fully obliterated” by U.S. strikes.
    Trump made the comments at the White House Saturday night hours after announcing the U.S. military had carried out strikes against three key nuclear facilities in Iran.
    The president also warned Tehran against carrying out retaliatory attacks against the U.S., saying Iran has choice between “peace or tragedy."
    Trump called Iran "the bully of the Middle East" and warned of additional attacks if it didn't make peace.
    "If they do not, future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier," Trump said at the White House after the bombings of Iran's nuclear facilities were announced earlier.
    Trump portrayed the strike as part of a long festering problem, even if the objective was to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

    “The model being replicated is not only seen at the Latin American level; it's visible all the way up to the United States. What’s happening is a global phenomenon. We have Argentina right next door, where they openly express their lack of respect for any kind of diversity. If the right-wing, which is currently trying to assert itself, is going to follow that same path, we, who are a minority, cannot support that option.”

    “I believe LGBT rights have advanced by leaps and bounds. We may not be on the same level as countries like those in Europe or the United States, but compared to other Latin American countries, it’s still very difficult to have rights, and we are a country that has secured several of them.”
    10. Drag queen holding sign reading (Spanish): “Resist as non-binary”
    STORYLINE:
    Thousands of people marched through the streets of Santiago on Saturday during the 25th Pride March.
    The event was organized by the Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation and the Equals Foundation.
    The central theme of the march was opposition to hate speech, particularly targeting trans individuals.
    Participants also encouraged voters to support presidential candidates who have stated they will not reverse existing human rights protections for sexual and gender minorities.
    "What’s happening is a global phenomenon. We have Argentina right next door, where they openly express their lack of respect for any kind of diversity. If the right-wing, which is currently trying to assert itself, is going to follow that same path, we, who are a minority, cannot support that option," said parade participant Bruno Iturra.
    According to the organizers, reports of homo- and transphobic incidents in Chile increased by 78.7% in 2025, reaching a total of 2,847 cases—the highest number recorded to date.

    STORYLINE:
    Netherlands on Saturday officially signed over 119 looted artefacts, including human and animal figures, plaques, royal regalia and a bell, to Nigeria.
    The artefacts, known as the Benin Bronzes and mostly housed in a museum in Leiden, were looted in the late 19th century by British soldiers.
    In recent years, museums across Europe and North America have moved to address ownership disputes over artefacts looted during the colonial era.
    During the official handover ceremony in Lagos, Hannatu Musawa, Nigeria’s Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy, described the return of the artefacts as “not just a restitution of items, it is a restitution of our dignity.”
    The Benin Bronzes were returned at the request of Nigeria’s National Commission for Museums and Monuments.
    “Benin Bronzes, as we know, are not merely artefacts of artistry or relics of antiquity. They are the living embodiment of the soul and spirit of the Benin kingdom,” the minister said.
    "I think we worked a long time to come to this point for the restitution of the 119 Benin Bronzes. It's a historical moment. I think we are very excited about it," said Marieke Van Bommel, Director-General, National Museum of World Cultures.
    Nigeria formally requested the return of hundreds of objects from museums around the world in 2022.
    Some 72 objects were returned from a London museum that year while 31 were returned from a museum in Rhode Island.
    The Benin Bronzes were stolen in 1897 when British forces under the command of Sir Henry Rawson sacked the Benin kingdom and forced Ovonramwen Nogbaisi, the monarch at the time, into six-month exile. Benin is located in modern-day southern Nigeria.

    STORYLINE:
    Despite clouds and drizzle, bike riders, some covered in paint and others fully in the buff, welcomed the summer solstice in Seattle on Saturday.
    The annual naked bike ride opens the solstice parade in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood.
    Revelers wore body paint, glitter and partial costumes as the crowd cheered them on.
    "No one cares what you look like or who you are or how much money you make or anything," participant Paul Papenhause said. "You just come down, you have a good time."
    The Fremont Solstice Parade began in 1989.

    4. SOUNDBITE (English) Adebimpe Adebambo, multi-disciplinary artist:
    "It's a mini step in the right direction. At least it is still better than nothing. And 119 is really significant from one place alone. So, that shows you how, what was looted, the number that was looted, if just from one country, 119 are being returned."

    6. SOUNDBITE (English) Princess Iku Ewuare - Aimiuwu, First Daughter of The Oba of Benin:
    "The return is one, the importance of it is beyond explanation. The history of these artefacts leaving and being stolen from Benin is one that occurred even before I was born. You know, before I was born, all these things were stolen. And to have them returned signifies the strength of the Benin people, the strength of the royal family, most especially, my forefathers fought and did everything possible to see this day, you know, happen."

    13. SOUNDBITE (English) Hannatu Musawa, Nigeria’s Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy:
    "Benin Bronzes, as we know, are not merely artefacts of artistry or relics of antiquity. They are the living embodiment of the soul and spirit of the Benin kingdom. They speak eloquently of an era of unparalleled cultural brilliance, where artisans and creators transformed bronze into intricate masterpieces that chronicled the history, customs, and aspirations of a very proud people."
