Trump Officials Cite New Intelligence to Support Iran Strikes

Good morning.

The Trump administration has defended the US strikes on Iran, citing new intelligence supporting their claim of success. Despite a leaked report suggesting a minor delay in Tehran's nuclear program, President Trump now describes the attack as devastating.

The director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, confirmed the new intelligence and stated that Iran may take years to rebuild its nuclear program.

The White House is reportedly restricting the sharing of classified documents following the leak, accusing the media of politicizing the issue.

The US attorney general, Pam Bondi, denied knowledge of immigration officials wearing masks during raids, despite video evidence. Concerns were raised about the tactics increasing risks for both officers and the public.

Plans to convert a former prison in California into the state's largest immigrant detention center have sparked outrage among advocacy groups and local residents.

In other news, various global events including protests in Kenya, health concerns in the UK, and conflicts in the Middle East have made headlines.

Lastly, a significant number of Tuvalu citizens have entered a ballot for Australian visas due to rising sea levels threatening their nation.
