On June 22–23, the U.S., deploying B‑2 stealth bombers and GBU‑57 bunker-busters, struck Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites hitting deeply buried facilities. President Trump hailed the strikes as “monumental” and “obliteration,” warning of future escalations and even floated regime change. Iran reports no radiation leaks and pledges a proportional response, deciding “time, scale and nature” in upcoming retaliation. Israel intercepted Iranian missiles toward Tel Aviv, and strikes reportedly killed nearly 950 Iranians (380 civilians). Global leaders urged de-escalation at the UN, and oil prices surged over 3% past $79/barrel. Thailand’s finance minister downplayed market risk, adjusting stock limits accordingly.
