EA-Times Radio VideoCast: Trump Joins Israel’s War on Iran
EA on International Outlets: Israel’s War on Iran
Was Trump’s “Bunker Buster” Strike on Iran More Show Than Substance?
UPDATE, JUNE 23:
EA’s David Dunn joined Ireland’s RTE Radio 1 on Sunday to summarize the American attacks and the significance of the three Iranian nuclear sites.
This was part of [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu’s calculation, to force the Americans’ hands by attacking Iran. This would force America to live with the consequences of a wounded and infuriated Iran which could perhaps reconstitute its nuclear program, or force the Americans to finish the job.
This is what the Israelis calculated. And this is what they were successful in doing.
He also assesses the violation of international law and whether Iran will retaliate.
ORIGINAL ENTRY, JUNE 22: I joined international outlets on Sunday to analyze how and why the Trump Administration joined Israel’s war on Iran, bombing three nuclear sites.

Iran’s Fordo Site Said to Look Severely Damaged, Not Destroyed: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/world/middleeast/iran-fordo-nuclear-damaged-not-destroyed.html
“The Israeli military, in an initial analysis, believes the heavily fortified nuclear site at Fordo has sustained serious damage from the American strike on Sunday, but has not been completely destroyed, according to two Israeli officials with knowledge of the matter. The officials also said it appeared Iran had moved equipment, including uranium, from the site. A senior U.S. official similarly acknowledged that the American strike on the Fordo site did not destroy the heavily fortified facility but said the strike had severely damaged it, taking it “off the table.” The person noted that even 12 bunker-busting bombs could not destroy the site.”
Most centrifuges and all enriched material were moved from the site in advance.
