Vice President JD Vance called the strikes and resulting ceasefire a “reset moment” for the region, warning Iran against future attempts to build nuclear weapons.

The announcement came after Iran fired 14 missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar, with Trump saying 13 were intercepted and one posed no threat. Trump thanked Iran for giving early notice, allowing for no casualties or damage. He expressed hope the situation would now lead to peace.

The U.S. bombing of Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites aimed to cripple Iran’s enrichment capabilities, though the long-term impact is uncertain. Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Iran’s limited response suggests significant damage and a desire to avoid escalation.

Iran’s parliament also voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil route, pending approval from its national security council. However, analysts doubt Iran will follow through due to potential backlash from major oil buyers like China.

Despite rising tensions, oil prices stabilized, and Trump urged allies to increase oil production to keep prices low.
