SUMMARY: President Trump ordered a U.S. strike on three Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—using B-2 bombers with bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles, in Operation Midnight Hammer. Trump declared the strikes a “spectacular military success,” warning Iran to make peace or face greater attacks. Iran condemned the strikes as lawless, vowed to defend itself, and launched missiles toward Israel, causing damage. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked Trump for halting Iran’s nuclear threat. The U.S. accelerated the operation ahead of a two-week deadline and is evacuating diplomats amid rising regional tensions. Satellite confirmation of damage remains uncertain without ground access.

Trump said the U.S. attacked three nuclear sites in Iran.

SUMMARY: Historic Stagville in Durham offers emotional Juneteenth tours that reflect on the painful legacy of slavery and emancipation. Once home to about 1,000 enslaved people on the Cameron family plantation, the site now commemorates their freedom gained in 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Site manager Vera Silski guides visitors through the preserved two-story slave quarters, sharing stories of real people like Mary Walker and Dempsey Henderson. The tours emphasize ongoing struggles for citizenship, voting rights, and safety after emancipation, connecting the past to the present resilience and achievements of Durham’s African American community.

People from near and far are walking through Historic Stagville connecting to a dark past on the once Cameron family-owned plantation.
