The Wire — June 22 — 2025 — 1215Z — Immediate

This is the wire for 1215 Zulu June 22nd 2025. President is immediate. Information cutoff is 1,200. Bottom line up front. United States conducts air strikes in Iran. In the Middle East a few moments ago, President Trump posted a statement on social media confirming that a series of air strikes has been carried out at Ford, Natans, and Isvahan. In the post, President Trump stated that all of the aircraft involved are out of Iranian airspace and has insinuated that this is a oneanddone series of attacks. Analyst comments for this wire. As this is a developing situation, no additional details have been provided. President Trump has not yet held a press conference, nor has the White House. So, every American is discovering that the United States has struck Iran from a single social media post. A few moments after this announcement, President Trump's account on Truth Social went offline, leading many to wonder if this was some sort of cyber security event. Further details are expected to emerge in due time. However, right now, we have nothing but the post from President Trump's true social account. At this time, Congress has not declared war on Iran. However, if the hundreds of aircraft that have been moved into the scentcom theater over the past few days are any indication, this is probably not a oneanddone series of attacks. There are simply too many resources spread throughout the Middle East for this to be over just yet. Concerning strategic indications and warnings, HFGCS traffic has been elevated over the past few days and weeks. However, no extremely concerning EAMs have been detected over the past few hours. Radio chatter on the Russian Baronet is also quiet at this time. This strike lines up with the timing of the B2 Spirit stealth bombers, which took off from Whiteman Air Force Base this morning with what was assessed at the time to be a full payload of munitions. This concludes the Wiref 1215 Zulu, June 22nd, 2025.
