71 killed in Israeli attack on Iran prison, official says
The June 23 strike targeted the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran.
President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is "not happy" with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges. Trump said Iran and Israel both "violated" the ceasefire that he announced late on Monday.
Through last week, the president and his administration continued to push back on an early intelligence report suggesting that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities may have only set Tehran's nuclear program back by months.

'Very significant damage' expected at Fordo, IAEA chief says
International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi told an emergency board meeting of the body on Monday that a diplomatic solution and de-escalation of the conflict are needed to address the crisis in Iran.
Grossi told the IAEA board that calm is needed for agency inspectors to access Iran's nuclear sites to assess the situation and the damage there caused by recent Israeli and U.S. attacks.
Of the site at Fordo -- built under a mountain and therefore only thought reachable by the American "bunker-buster" bombs dropped by U.S. bombers on Saturday -- Grossi said that "no one, including the IAEA, is in a position to have fully assessed the underground damage."
"Given the explosive payload utilized and the extreme vibration-sensitive nature of centrifuges, very significant damage is expected to have occurred," Grossi said.

US strikes won't stop nuclear program, Khamenei aide says
Ali Shamkhani, an adviser to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in a post to X on Sunday that the American strikes on Iran's key nuclear facilities will not stop Tehran's nuclear program.
"Even assuming that the facilities are completely destroyed, the game is not over; the enriched materials, local expertise and politics will remain," Shamkhani said.
"Now, the political and operational initiative, along with the right to legitimate defense, lies with the side that plays smart and avoids indiscriminate fire," he added. "The surprises will continue!"
