Pentagon Flexes "Bunker Buster" Used in US Strikes on Iran Nuclear Sites | Firstpost America | N18G
The Pentagon has released footage of a GBU-57 bunker-buster bomb test, confirming the same munitions were used in US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Fourteen bombs were dropped by B-2 bombers, alongside a Navy missile strike. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and General Dan Caine defended the operation while rejecting leaked intelligence reports that suggested limited damage. The White House backed their position, and the FBI launched an investigation into the leak. All 100 US senators received a classified briefing, with Republicans praising the strikes and Democrats raising concerns about effectiveness. Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei claimed the US failed to achieve its goals and warned of retaliation if further attacks occur.

Odisha ranks 5th in school education, Naveen Patnaik credits BJD's scheme
Odisha has achieved a tangible change in the school education system and ranked 5th in the country as per the Performance Grading Index (PGI-2.) between 2019-20 and 2023-2024 when BJD president Naveen Patnaik was the chief minister, officials said on Thursday. The state was ranked 14th rank in 2019-2020. The PGI 2.0 evaluates school education through 73 indicators across two categories: Outcomes and Governance & Management. BJD president Naveen Patnaik posted on X: "Glad to share that #Odisha has earned 5th rank nationally in School Grading System, as per Performance Grading Index (PGI-2.0) Report released by Government of India. Odisha has achieved score of 595.6 and secured PRACHESTA-3 grade for the academic year 2023-24, up from 14th in 2019. The PGI 2.0 evaluates school education through 73 indicators across two categories: Outcomes and Governance & Management." Patnaik was the chief minister of Odisha between 2000 and 2024.

"Under our #5T initiative, we transformed about 7,000 schools to unleash new aspirations and open new horizons for school students. We always believed that #NewOdisha will be built by empowering every child with the power of education. Glad that the robust foundation for government school education helping students excel.

Is US-Israel attack on Iran's nuclear sites backfiring?
While direct combat has stopped along the borders of Israel and Iran, a lot has been going on in diplomatic circles in the aftermath of the airstrikes. The US joined the Israel-Iran conflict last month and bombed three key nuclear sites, Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan read more A satellite image shows damage to the tunnel entrances of the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Research Center, following U.S. airstrikes amid the Iran-Israel conflict, in Isfahan, Iran, June 22, 2025. File image/ Reuters It has been over a week since Israel and Iran reached a ceasefire. The US has been boasting about its strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, which reportedly pushed the country's atomic programme by two years. While direct combat has stopped along the borders of Israel and Iran, a lot has been going on in diplomatic circles in the aftermath of the airstrikes. The US joined the Israel-Iran conflict last month and bombed three key nuclear sites, Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Here's what has been happening since then: Iran suspends cooperation with IAEA Iran has officially suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) after a law seeking the severance was approved by President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday. A few days ago, Pezeshkian slammed IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi for not condemning Israel and US' attacks on Iran despite them being in flagrant violation of the UN charter and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. 'What guarantee is there that our facilities won't be attacked again, even if we cooperate?' the Iranian president told his French counterpart during a conversation over the phone, according to local media. Germany calls it 'disastrous signal' Germany has called Iran's move to sever ties with the UN nuclear watchdog a 'disastrous signal', with its foreign ministry spokesperson saying, 'For a diplomatic solution it is essential for Iran to work with the IAEA.' Earlier, UK and France had joined Germany to urge Tehran not to suspend cooperation with IAEA. Pentagon report on US strikes US intelligence assessments indicate that strikes on Iranian nuclear sites set the country's atomic program back by up to two years, the Pentagon said on Wednesday. 'We have degraded their program by one to two years at least – intel assessments inside the (Defense) Department assess that,' Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told journalists, later adding: 'We're thinking probably closer to two years.' American B-2 bombers hit two Iranian nuclear sites with massive GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs last month, while a guided missile submarine struck a third site with Tomahawk cruise missiles. Iran's Nobel laureate speaks Following Israel's 12-day war, which significantly weakened Iran's leadership, a prominent human rights defender now warns that the regime may crack down on its own citizens in a bid to tighten its grip on power. Talking to Wall Street Journal, Narges Mohammadi, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023, said, 'The situation for Iranian people is more dangerous now than before the war.' Is Iran switching to cyberwar? Meanwhile, a report by Axios says Iranian hacktivists are waging a separate war and are sharing tools with Russian and other hackers. Alexander Leslie, a threat intelligence analyst at Recorded Future, told the news outlet, 'More than 100 hacktivists groups, 90 of which are linked to pro-Iranian positions, have been targeting organisations in Israel and throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Western Europe and North America since Israel's strikes last month.'

Can Trump Beat The Second Term Curse That Haunts The White House
Hamilton: While he likes to provoke opponents with the possibility of serving a third term, Donald Trump faces a more immediate historical burden that has plagued so many presidents: the 'second term curse'. Twenty-one US presidents have served second terms, but none has reached the same level of success they achieved in their first. Second term performances have ranged from the lacklustre and uninspiring to the disastrous and deadly. Voter dissatisfaction and frustration, presidential fatigue and a lack of sustainable vision for the future are all explanations. But Trump doesn't quite fit the mould. Only one other president, Grover Cleveland in the late 19th century, has served a second nonconsecutive term, making Trump 2.0 difficult to measure against other second-term leaders. Trump will certainly be hoping history doesn't repeat Cleveland's second-term curse. Shortly after taking office he imposed 50% tariffs, triggering global market volatility that culminated in the ' Panic of 1893 '. At the time, this was the worst depression in US history: 19% unemployment, a run on gold from the US Treasury, a stock market crash and widespread poverty. More than a century on, Trump's ' move fast and break things ' approach in a nonconsecutive second term might appeal to voters demanding action above all else. But he risks being drawn into areas he campaigned against. So far, he has gone from fighting a trade war and a culture war to contemplating a shooting war in the Middle East. His ' big beautiful bill ' will add trillions to the national debt and potentially force poorer voters – including many Republicans – off Medicaid. Whether his radical approach will defy or conform to the second term curse seems very much an open question. No kings The two-term limit was enacted by the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution in 1951. Without a maximum term, it was feared, an authoritarian could try to take control for life – like a king (hence the recent ' No Kings ' protests in the US). George Washington, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson all declined to serve a third term. Jefferson was suspicious of any president who would try to be re-elected a third time, writing: should a President consent to be a candidate for a 3d. election, I trust he would be rejected on this demonstration of ambitious views. There is a myth that after Franklin Delano Roosevelt broke the de facto limit of two terms set by the early presidents, the ghost of George Washington placed a curse on anyone serving more than four years. At best, second-term presidencies have been tepid compared to the achievements in the previous four years. After the second world war, some two-term presidents (Eisenhower, Reagan and Obama) started out strong but faltered after reelection. Eisenhower extricated the US from the Korean War in his first term, but faced domestic backlash and race riots in his second. He had to send 500 paratroopers to escort nine Black high school students in Little Rock, Arkansas, to enforce a federal desegregation order. Reagan made significant tax and spending cuts, and saw the Soviet Union crumble in term one. But the Iran-Contra scandal and watered down tax reform defined term two. Obama started strongly, introducing health care reform and uniting the Democratic voter base. After reelection, however, the Democrats lost the House, the Senate, a Supreme Court nomination, and faced scandals over the Snowden security leaks and Internal Revenue Service targeting of conservative groups. Truly disastrous examples of second term presidencies include Abraham Lincoln (assassination), Woodrow Wilson (first world war, failure of the League of Nations, a stroke), Richard Nixon (Watergate, impeachment and resignation), and Bill Clinton (Lewinsky scandal and impeachment). Monumental honours It may be too early to predict how Trump will feature in this pantheon of less-than-greatness. But his approval ratings recently hit an all-time low as Americans reacted to the bombing of Iran and deployment of troops in Los Angeles. A recent YouGov poll showed voters giving negative approval ratings for his handling of inflation, jobs, immigration, national security and foreign policy. While there has been plenty of action, it may be the levels of uncertainty, drastic change and market volatility are more extreme than some bargained for. An uncooperative Congress or opposition from the judiciary can be obstacles to successful second terms. But Trump has used executive orders, on the grounds of confronting 'national emergencies', to bypass normal checks and balances. As well, favourable rulings by the Supreme Court have edged closer to expanding the boundaries of executive power. But they have not yet supported Trump's claim from his first term that 'I have an Article 2, where I have the right to do whatever I want as President'. Some supporters say Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. And he was only half joking when he asked if there is room for one more face on Mount Rushmore. But such monumental honours may only amount to speculation unless Trump's radical approach and redefinition of executive power defy the second-term curse.
