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.

US Embassy in Jerusalem resumes operations amid ceasefire

The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem resumed operations on Wednesday and lifted a shelter in place order for employees and their families, as the ceasefire between Israel and Iran appeared to hold.

The embassy urged continued caution and "increased personal security awareness -- including knowing the location of the nearest shelter in the event of a red alert as security incidents, such as mortar, rocket and missile fire and unmanned aircraft system intrusions, often take place without any warning."

Government employees and their families are still restricted from travel outside of the greater Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Be'er Sheva areas, Wednesday's security notice said.

The embassy's previous security update on June 23 instructed all employees and their families to shelter in place "until further notice" due to the ongoing conflict with Iran.

Trump doubles down on claim that Iranian nuclear sites were 'completely destroyed'

President Donald Trump doubled down on his claim that Iranian nuclear sites were "completely destroyed" following U.S. strikes on Saturday.

In a social media post late Tuesday, he asserted that the media was trying to "demean one of the most successful military strikes in history."

An early intelligence assessment indicated that the strikes did not fully eliminate the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to two people familiar with an early intelligence assessment.

The report, which is classified, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency and U.S. Central Command. The findings could evolve as the Defense Department and the intelligence community collect more information.

Special envoy calls 'leak' of strike report 'treasonous,' says Iran-Israel ceasefire is holding

Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff suggested Tuesday an initial intelligence assessment of Iran's nuclear capabilities after U.S. strikes was leaked, calling such a move "treasonous."

“Well, it goes without saying that -- that leaking that type of information, whatever the information, whatever side it comes out on, is outrageous," Witkoff said, speaking to Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "It's -- it's treasonous. So it ought to be investigated."

The initial assessment by the U.S. Central Command and the Defense Intelligence Agency concluded that U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities did not completely destroy the county's nuclear program but likely set it back by a few months.

Witkoff also assured that the ceasefire between Israel and Iran is holding.

"The proof is in the pudding, no one's shooting at each other," he said. "It's over.”

When asked if Iran could resume its nuclear enrichment program within a matter of months, Witkoff said it’s “not even conceivable.”
