President Donald Trump announced Monday that there will be a “complete and total ceasefire” between Israel and Iran implemented in less than 24 hours.
“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE,” Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. “During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL.”
Trump congratulated both countries for “having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, ‘THE 12 DAY WAR.’”
“This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will,” he posted. “God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!”

The ceasefire comes after 12 days of conflict between Israel and Iran, which started with Israel targeting Iranian nuclear facilities to prevent the regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The United States entered the conflict on Saturday night, bombing key Iranian nuclear sites with Tomahawk missiles and 30,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs.
Iran retaliated in a coordinated strike on the United States’ Al Udeid Air Base today in Qatar with 14 missiles, 13 of which were intercepted and one that hit an unimportant area.
Following the attack, Trump posted that Iran had “gotten it out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE.”
He also thanked Iran for providing &#8220;early notice&#8221; of the attack.
“Perhaps Iran can now proceed to peace and harmony in the region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same,” he added.
As of Saturday, 24 people were killed by Iranian missile attacks in Israel and another 1,272 were injured, with 14 in serious condition, according to the Israeli government.

BREAKING: Trump Announces ‘Complete And Total Ceasefire’ Between Israel and Iran

The State Department issued a rare &#8220;Worldwide Caution&#8221; alert on Sunday amid concerns about a heightened risk of terror attacks by Iranian sleeper cells.
A White House official <a href="https://x.com/MaryMargOlohan/status/1936952258370896079" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told The Daily Wire</a> they are staying vigilant and that the Trump administration will use all resources available to protect both the United States and its assets abroad.
<a href="https://www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisory/national-terrorism-advisory-system-bulletin-june-22-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A bulletin</a> from the Department of Homeland Security’s National Terrorism Advisory System on Sunday warned that the “ongoing Iran conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States.” The alert issued on Sunday warns American citizens overseas to “exercise increased caution,” adding that there is “potential for demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests abroad.”
<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/world/middle-east/live-blog/live-updates-iran-israel-trump-rcna214325#rcrd83150" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to NBC</a>, Iran sent a message to Trump through an intermediary at the G7 summit in Canada last week, warning that it could activate sleeper cell terror if he attacked. Trump left the summit early to return to the White House to consider his options amid the escalation between Israel and Iran at the time.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/get-our-people-home-florida-lawmaker-combat-vet-help-thousands-american-evacuate-israel?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=%E2%80%98Get+Our+People+Home%E2%80%99%3A+This+Florida+Lawmaker+Is+Helping+Thousands+Of+Americans+Evacuate+Israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘GET OUR PEOPLE HOME’: THIS FLORIDA LAWMAKER IS HELPING THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS EVACUATE ISRAEL</a>
The Department of Homeland Security cited Iran’s history of launching cyberattacks and targeting United States government officials. It added that there is a possibility of terrorists within the United States mobilizing as part of a response to Trump’s Sunday night strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
“The likelihood of violent extremists in the Homeland independently mobilizing to violence in response to the conflict would likely increase if Iranian leadership issued a religious ruling calling for retaliatory violence against targets in the Homeland,” it said. “Multiple recent Homeland terrorist attacks have been motivated by anti-Semitic or anti-Israel sentiment, and the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict could contribute to U.S.-based individuals plotting additional attacks.”
It adds that the conflict could motivate “violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators” to attack targets that are Jewish, pro-Israel, or linked to the United States government or military.

“Over 2 million people crossed that border, we don’t know who they are, where they came from, because they got away, because Border Patrol is so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created that over 2 million people crossed the border and got away,” Homan told Fox News&#8217;s Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“That is my biggest concern,” he added. “And that’s what created the biggest national security vulnerability this country’s ever seen.”

State Dept. Issues ‘Worldwide Caution’ Alert Amid Report Iran Threatened Trump With Sleeper Cells

Florida State Senator Jay Collins has spent the last six days in Cyprus, Israel, and Jordan helping Americans evacuate Israel amid the country&#8217;s conflict with Iran.
Collins, who is teaming up with Grey Bull Rescue and acting as the liaison for the State of Florida, told The Daily Wire that there are just under 5,000 Americans on the list to leave.
“We’re doing all that we can,” Collins told The Daily Wire. “It’s time to get our people home.”
Collins’ team has been assisting Americans traveling to Jordanian airports to get on chartered flights back to the United States. They also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-charters-jets-to-rescue-americans-stranded-in-israel?author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=8&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=DeSantis+Charters+Jets+To+Rescue+Americans+Stranded+In+Israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assisted in evacuating</a> about 1,500 Americans who were on a 10-day Birthright trip to Israel, arranging for them to take a cruise ship to Cyprus, where they were able to board flights home.
Collins said Florida, under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, is the only state government playing a role in evacuating Americans, including those who are not Floridians. According to Collins, Florida is providing some logistical and financial support.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/live-updates-israel-strikes-iran?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Daily+Wire&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=LIVE+UPDATES%3A+Trump+Calls+For+Iran+To+Surrender%2C+Says+The+Ayatollah+Is+An+%E2%80%98Easy+Target%E2%80%99" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LIVE UPDATES: IRAN REFUSES TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE UNITED STATES</a>
“We’re the only state doing this,” he said. “I think that leadership matters, we stand for our people and we are willing to protect them, and that’s what we are going to do,” he said.
Florida also played a role in the aftermath of October 7 by evacuating 200 Americans and sending two large planes to Israel with 85 pallets of donated supplies.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee <a href="https://x.com/GovMikeHuckabee/status/1935584613159596418" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that the State Department is working on getting military, commercial and charter flights, as well as cruise ships to help Americans evacuate as well.
Collins said he has seen a wide variety of Americans evacuate, including elderly people and families with young children.
“Overwhelmingly, many of them thought the Iron Dome was impenetrable, but when these supersonic missiles started landing, it really rocked people’s world,” he said. “It’s just a different kind of munition that they’ve seen in other conflicts. It’s very real.”
Collins shared that one evacuee thought “everything was going to be fine until he saw a drone fly by his window.”

Newsweek’s senior editor-at-large, Josh Hammer, was one of the evacuees who worked with Collins and Grey Bull Rescue, fleeing with his wife and six-month-old daughter this week.
“For four days after that, we more or less stayed put and tried to ride out the storm,&#8221; Hammer said, adding that he decided to leave after an Iranian ballistic missile struck the town near where he was staying on Sunday night. &#8220;We made frequent visits to the basement bomb shelter in the home where we were staying, having to be ready at a moment’s notice to jump out of a deep sleep and seek emergency protection ASAP in the wee hours of the morning.”

For some personal news —
As you may recall, I was in Israel when the IDF began its operations in Iran last week. For four days after that, we more or less stayed put and tried to ride out the storm. We made frequent visits to the basement bomb shelter in the home where we were…
&mdash; Josh Hammer (@josh_hammer) <a href="https://twitter.com/josh_hammer/status/1935751630923665528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 19, 2025</a></blockquote>
“I love my Israeli friends and recently published an entire book on this topic,” Hammer added. “But I had to do the only responsible thing a father in my situation would do — get us out.”
Since the conflict began, Iran has launched more than 450 missiles at Israel, with 50 making impact. A total of 24 Israelis have been killed, and 1,217 injured — including 12 in serious condition, 37 moderately injured, and 1,156 with minor injuries. More than 30,735 property damage claims have been filed, and 8,190 people have been evacuated from their homes.
“Grey Bull Rescue’s expertise on the ground is unquestionable,” Collins said. “CEO Bryan Stern and members of his board are incredibly gifted.”
Stern’s <a href="https://greybullrescue.org/meet-our-founder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nonprofit</a> is credited with saving 117 Americans stranded in Afghanistan following former President Joe Biden’s chaotic military withdrawal.
In the next mission, Collins says he hopes to evacuate 300 to 600 people. While the group still has the ability to use ships, Collins says that, as of now, they prefer using chartered jets.
Collins said he has had a positive experience working with the Israeli government — which is currently running repatriation flights for thousands of Israelis stranded overseas.
“The Israelis have been incredibly supportive,” he said. “The entire government has been supportive, and the Jordanians as well. I couldn’t ask for more, frankly.”

Collins, a Green Beret and combat veteran who lost his leg due to injuries while serving in Afghanistan, said he remains focused while operating under missile attacks and is grateful for Israel’s early missile warning system.
“This is just another theater,” he said. “Israel has an incredible early warning system that gives us a heads-up. I’ve been in combat, and I am not afraid of it, but I respect it. I am just focused on getting our people home.”
Collins said he is unsure if the conflict will come to an end soon, but pointed out the options on the table.
“Either Iran is going to back down or Israel is going to back down, which is highly unlikely,” he said. “It could become an all-out conflict, or there could be an uprising in Iran which leads to a shift back to the Shah and away from Iran’s current regime, which would be amazing. Under the Shah, Iran was much more free, and had a better relationship with America. It would be great for the Middle East.”

‘Get Our People Home’: This Florida Lawmaker Is Helping Thousands Of Americans Evacuate Israel

President Donald Trump elaborated on his call for an unconditional “surrender” from Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while speaking to reporters at the White House on Wednesday.
&#8220;Unconditional surrender, that means I&#8217;ve had it. I’ve had it, I give up. No more. Then we go blow up all of the nuclear stuff that&#8217;s all over the place there,” Trump said.
On Tuesday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/he-is-an-easy-target-trump-says-he-knows-exactly-where-the-ayatollah-is-hiding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump demanded</a> an &#8220;unconditional surrender&#8221; from the regime, saying the United States knows “exactly” where Khamenei is hiding.

“The harm the US will suffer will definitely be irreparable if they enter this conflict militarily,” Khamenei posted in another tweet. He added in another tweet that it “was already suspected” that the United States was involved in Israel’s attacks, but “considering their recent remarks, this suspicion is growing stronger day by day.”
So far, Israel has killed at least 20 of Iran’s top military leaders, damaged key nuclear facilities, destroyed more than a third of Iran’s missile launchers, and hit over 1,100 targets around Iran.
Of the 400 missiles fired at Israel, only 20 impacted urban areas, according to the Israeli Defense Forces. Of the 1,000 drones sent to Israel, fewer than 200 reached the Jewish state’s borders, and not a single one impacted.

During the White House event, Trump also said that “we” have captured Iran’s airspace. Trump made a similar comment on Wednesday, which raised eyebrows due to the U.S. only claiming it has taken indirect actions so far, such as shooting down Iranian missiles.

Trump Explains What Unconditional Surrender Looks Like For Iranian Regime

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rejected President Donald Trump&#8217;s calls for unconditional surrender on Wednesday.
&#8220;It isn’t wise to tell the Iranian nation to surrender,&#8221; he posted to X. &#8220;What should the Iranian nation surrender to? We will never surrender in response to the attacks of anyone. This is the logic of the Iranian nation. This is the spirit of the Iranian nation.&#8221;
In another tweet, he criticized Trump for his “absurd rhetoric&#8221; and &#8220;demands that the Iranian people surrender to him,” adding that he should “make threats against those who are afraid of being threatened. The Iranian nation isn’t frightened by such threats.”

In recent days, the United States has taken indirect actions to help support Israel, including shooting down Iranian missiles.
In response to Israel’s attack, Khamenei initially said that “the Zionist regime has opened its dirty and bloody hand to commit a crime in our beloved country.”
&#8220;With this crime, the Zionist regime has prepared for itself a bitter and painful fate, and it will surely meet it,&#8221; he added.

Ayatollah Rejects Trump’s Call For Surrender, Says The United States Will Suffer ‘Irreparable’ Harm

Colonel Nathan McCormack, who was tasked with helping advise the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Israel-related matters, has been removed from his position after his anti-Israel social media posts were brought to light.
McCormack, who was the Levant and Egypt branch chief at the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s J5 planning directorate, according to his LinkedIn, posted several controversial tweets on his X account. He called Israel a “death cult” and referred to the Israeli government as “Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies,” among other things, <a href="https://www.jns.org/chief-israel-planner-at-pentagon-bashes-jewish-state-publicly-extensively/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish News Syndicate </a><a href="https://www.jns.org/chief-israel-planner-at-pentagon-bashes-jewish-state-publicly-extensively/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
A Joint Staff official told The Daily Wire that the Department of Defense said McCormack was removed from his position with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and that the matter is being handed over to the U.S. Army for further action.
The official added that McCormack’s posts do not reflect the position of the Joint Staff or the Department of Defense.
“Our global alliances and partnerships are vital to our national security, enhancing our collective defense, deterrence, and operational reach,” the official said.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-has-been-clear-for-14-years-that-iran-cannot-have-a-nuclear-weapon?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Has+Been+Clear+For+14+Years+That+Iran+Cannot+Have+A+Nuclear+Weapon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TRUMP HAS BEEN CLEAR FOR 14 YEARS THAT IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON</a>
McCormack’s semi-anonymous account has been deleted following JNS’s report.
The J5 directorate of the Joint Chiefs of Staff advises the chairman of the Joint Chiefs on military strategy, planning, and policy across a wide range of national security issues. McCormack’s role tasked him with preparing senior leadership to speak with partner nations —including Israel.
McCormack made the posts on an X account where he calls himself “Nate,” but has posted several times about his job and even <a href="https://archive.ph/ox92m" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared a photo</a> of his Meritorious Service Medal certificate.
Since assuming his position — which his LinkedIn says he began in June 2024 — McCormack has posted numerous times about his views on the Jewish state, especially after Hamas’s October 7 massacre of Israeli civilians.

“The Western states go to great lengths to avoid criticism of Israel, much out of Holocaust guilt,” McCormack <a href="https://archive.ph/2025.06.17-203853/https://x.com/mick_or_mack/status/1909570169850016150" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted in April</a>.
In May, <a href="https://archive.ph/2025.06.17-203737/https://x.com/mick_or_mack/status/1926700593134915740" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he posted</a> that “Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies are determined to prolong the conflict for their own goals: either to remain in power or to annex the land.”
In April 2024, <a href="https://archive.ph/2025.06.17-203813/https://x.com/mick_or_mack/status/1777077484426543148" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McCormack questioned</a> if the United States was a proxy of Israel.
“I’ve lately been considering whether we might be Israel’s proxy and not realized it yet,” he posted. “Our worst ‘ally.’ We get literally nothing out of the ‘partnership’ other than the enmity of millions of people in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.”
According to JNS, in response to a post about Gazans potentially seeking refuge outside the Gaza Strip, McCormack claimed that Israel aims “to expel them and cleanse ‘Eretz Israel’ of ethnic Palestinians.”
Before starting his role with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but while still serving as a U.S. Army officer, McCormack shared his views following Hamas’s October 7 massacre of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-had-to-act-netanyahu-reveals-why-he-struck-iran-in-first-interview-since-rising-lion-launch?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=‘We+Had+to+Act’%3A+Netanyahu+Reveals+Why+He+Struck+Iran+In+First+Interview+Since+‘Rising+Lion’+Launch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli</a> civilians.
“I agree that Israel has an absolute right to respond militarily, and that civilians may legally be caught in the crossfire, but you are ignoring the requirement of proportionality,” McCormack <a href="https://archive.ph/2025.06.17-203744/https://x.com/mick_or_mack/status/1712058063039967375" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a>. “Israel’s responses always (always—not hyperbole) disproportionately target Palestinian civilians.”
McCormack has also disclosed details about his official duties on the account, <a href="https://archive.ph/2025.06.17-204215/https://x.com/mick_or_mack/status/1822968484378075143" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming in</a> August 2024 that “we” warned Israel it would be “fuxked” if it escalated into an offensive against Lebanon. Despite the warning, Israel launched an invasion two months later and decimated the terrorist group Hezbollah. He also shared information about his conversations and briefings with Israeli Defense Forces officers.

McCormack’s account also shared information about his movements and work trips <a href="https://archive.ph/2025.06.17-203856/https://x.com/mick_or_mack/status/1933610456154857488" target="_blank" rel="noopener">being canceled</a>, according to JNS.
On Monday, McCormack reportedly claimed the Department of Defense endorses the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers.
“Along with the World Health Organization and United Nations, we (Department of Defense, Department of State and the U.S. Intelligence Community) consider the Gaza Health Ministry figures to be generally reliable (though not precise),” he wrote, “but probably less so now than they were originally due to the general destruction and chaos in Gaza.”
The Department of Defense has strict social media guidelines, including telling service members to “avoid use of Department of Defense titles, insignia, uniforms or symbols in a way that could imply DoD sanction or endorsement of content on your personal page.”
