Israel launched an airstrike on the Iranian regime’s infamous Evin prison on Monday, where thousands of political prisoners have been executed by the Islamic regime. “Security footage shows one missile strike blasting open the doors of Evin Prison, where the Islamic Republic held its opponents and critics in brutal conditions, with public hangings,” the New York Post reported. “In accordance with the directives of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and me, the IDF is now attacking with unprecedented force regime targets and government repression bodies in the heart of Tehran, including the Basij headquarters, Evin Prison for political prisoners and opponents of the regime, the ‘Destruction of Israel’ clock in Palestine Square, the internal security headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards, the Ideology Headquarters, and other regime targets,” Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, wrote on X. בהתאם להנחיית ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו ושלי צה”ל תוקף כעת בעוצמה חסרת תקדים מטרות משטר וגופי דיכוי שלטוניים בלב טהרן וביניהם – מטה הבסיג’, בית הכלא אווין לאסירים פוליטיים ומתנגדי משטר, השעון “להשמדת ישראל” בכיכר פלסטין, מפקדות ביטחון פנים של משמרות המהפכה, מפקדת האידיאולוגיה… — ישראל כ”ץ Israel Katz (@Israel_katz) June 23, 2025 “In 1988, thousands of Evin prisoners were executed after cursory trials, according to Human Rights Watch. Many of those killed were viewed as a threat to the new Islamic government,” The New York Times reported. Iraj Mesdaghi, a former Iranian political prisoner who was tortured by the Islamic regime while in Evin prison, told The Jerusalem Post: “When I saw the images, I had mixed feelings. On one hand, I was worried about the fate of the political prisoners, but on the other, I was glad the killers were being targeted. This was a powerful moment for us — to see those who tormented us finally being held accountable. But I must say: as long as Khamenei is alive, the cycle of violence isn’t over.” Mesdaghi recalled what he had suffered while in the prison: ‘The torture wasn’t just to extract information — it was constant. I was kept in solitary confinement for months, blindfolded, shoved into what they called ‘the grave’ — a tiny box. They lashed the soles of my feet with electric cables. Every part of my body was in pain.” Noted Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad stated on X, “The Islamic Republic’s notorious prison, Evin was bombed by Israel. The regime responded by surrounding the prison with security forces to make sure none of the political prisoners could escape. This is the reality in Iran. At a time of war, political prisoners must be released not held hostage. If you want to act, aim your pressure at the Islamic Republic to release them now.” The Islamic Republic’s notorious prison, Evin was bombed by Israel.

That’s why the world has to care — has to stand with the Iranian people, especially those being held hostage by this regime.”

President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday.   “Congratulations to everyone,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the war will be considered ended!”   The news comes after Israel launched targeted strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, military bases, and top leaders on June 13, and less than 48 hours after the U.S. attacked Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites. “Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire and, upon the 12th hour, Israel will start the ceasefire and, upon the 24th hour, an official end to the 12-day war will be saluted by the world,” Trump said.   Minutes before Trump’s post on Truth Social, however, CNN reported that Iran had not received a ceasefire proposal and saw no reason for one. A senior Iranian official told CNN that Iran would continue to fight. It was not immediately clear if the deal between Iran and Israel was reached after CNN spoke to the official. “During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful,” Trump said. “On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, on 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! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and God bless the world,” Trump said.   The announcement follows nearly two weeks of continual attacks between Israel and Iran that began on June 13.   Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the time that the campaign, known as Operation Rising Lion, targeting Iran’s nuclear program, was launched for the sake of Israel’s “survival.”  The U.S. engaged in ongoing negotiation with Iran over its nuclear program in the lead-up to Israel’s attack on Iran. Trump has repeatedly said that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, and following reports of a deal that would allow for some uranium enrichment to continue in Iran, Trump said any deal with Iran would ban all enrichment. But Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said there would be no deal if Iran was not allowed to continue enrichment.    Iran has been enriching uranium far beyond levels needed for civilian use. Recent International Atomic Energy Agency reports confirm that “Iran was at nuclear threshold and was activating its newest underground enrichment facility complicating potential options to prevent their acquisition of a bomb,” according to Robert Greenway, former deputy assistant to the president and senior director on the National Security Council.   On Saturday night, Trump announced that the U.S. had successfully bombed three of Iran’s nuclear sites. Trump said Monday that the “sites that we hit in Iran were totally destroyed,” adding that only the “fake news” would claim otherwise.    Satellite images show damage to Iran’s nuclear sites, but Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the press Sunday that it was too early to know the full extent of the damage on the sites.    This is a developing story and may be updated.

MTG Big Mad at Trump

The debate over the commander-in-chief’s powers versus the U.S. Congress’s has increased following President Trump’s Operation: Midnight Hammer airstrikes on Iran. On Monday, CBS Mornings Plus invited Colorado’s Democratic Congressman Jason Crow to push Congress to claw back their authority to authorize military strikes, but was this motivated by who the sitting President was?      On Saturday, the U.S. Air Force was sent out to drop bunker bombs on Iran’s underground nuclear facility at Fordow and was successful. Mostly Democratic members of Congress were pushing that this decision from the President was “unconstitutional,” according to Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), as cited by CBS during the segment:   Not only is this news that I’ve just heard the second alarming that all of you have just heard, but it is so grossly unconstitutional. All of you know. That the only entity that can take this country to war is the U.S. Congress. The President does not have the right!   CBS anchor Vladimir Duthiers acknowledged that Congress was the branch to declare war, but also recognized that presidents in the past have used their commander-in-chief powers “by invoking the authority granted to them in the Constitution.”   Crow decried how Trump made the decision to strike Iran without input from Congress:   The Congress has been cut out of the situation. We don’t know whether there’s any plans. We don’t know whether there’s any indication for boots on the ground. We don’t know whether the President wants regime change, wants to topple the Iranian government. I mean, he’s indicated that he’s thinking about theat. These are all things that Congress needs to be a part of. Congress would need to authorize, because it’s the American people that have to do the fighting that would have to do the bleeding, that would have to fund this, these wars or these military interventions.   What both Sanders and Crow failed to mention when they brought up cracking down on Trump’s powers was that presidents have had their moments of executing military action without Congress, like former President Obama in 2011 with Libya. Without approval from Congress, Obama ordered military intervention for eight months before the administration tried to argue that their case did not fall under the War Powers Resolution.   In an attempt to pluck at fears of one of the purported outcomes of the strikes, Duthiers invoked the War in Iraq, teeing up Crow to suggest a redux could be coming:  DUTHIERS: Congressmen, so as you pointed out, you were deployed in both Afghanistan and Iraq. For Americans waking up this morning and seeing this and hearing about it on Saturday, they are going to imagine that we might find ourselves in a situation like Iraq. And I think, can you explain to the American people why that potentially is not going to happen? Because on one hand, you've got the President of the United States saying that he would like the Iranians to come back to the negotiating table. On the other, the Iranians went before the United Nations and said they have the right to respond militarily to these strikes. Boots on the ground seem farfetched, but we thought that back in before the start of the Iraq War.  CROW: Well, you're really getting to the core of the problem here. And that is I can't make assurances to the American people because the administration has told Congress nothing about this.  It is worth noting that in 2021, Joe Biden ordered airstrikes against Iran-connected targets in Iraq and Syria without congressional approval. This pearl clutching from CBS over the constitutionality of the strikes didn’t occur back then.  Click here for transcript. CBS Mornings Plus 6/23/25 9:21 a.m. Eastern VLADIMIR DUTHIERS: By the way, when President Trump posted this weekend that the United States had bombed Iran, it was the first time many members of Congress learned of it as well. Take a listen to Senator Bernie Sanders’ response immediately after learning about the attack while speaking at a rally on Saturday. [TRANSITION TO CLIP] SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT): Not only is this news that I've just heard this second alarming that all of you have just heard, but it is so grossly unconstitutional. All of you know. That the only entity that can take this country to war is the U.S. Congress. The President does not have the right! [BACK TO LIVE] DUTHIERS: So while yes. It is technically true that under the Constitution of the United States, only Congress can declare war. In practice, Presidents on both sides of the political aisle have sidestepped this requirement by invoking the authority granted to them in the Constitution. As Commander in Chief of the armed forces, or they've relied on a broader interpretation of the War Powers Act, the law that provides a framework for engaging in conflict without a formal declaration of war to involve the U.S. in conflict when there is no congressional approval. So as we look at the potential for escalating conflict with Iran, what role will Congress play? That is the question that everybody is asking. And with us to discuss just that is Democratic Congressman Jason Crow of Colorado. Congressman, good to see you REP. JASON CROW (D-CO): Good morning. DUTHIERS: So, CBS News has learned that top Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs and Intelligence, as well as the Armed Services Committees, are drafting a War Powers Act resolution in the wake of the president's attack on Iran. Can you tell us more about that? CROW: Sure. Well, this has been one of my biggest priorities in Congress. I served as an Army Ranger and paratrooper before coming to Congress. I did three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. So I was a part of that 20 year war or series of wars that we spent trillions of dollars on, thousands of American lives, lots of U.S. credibility down the drain, and we all saw how that turned out. So, what needs to happen is Congress needs to retake that constitutional authority that you just talked about, where only the Congress can declare war. And the reason for that is we are the people who are most accountable to the American people. We go home every weekend. We spend time in our town halls and high school gymnasiums, answering questions. That is where the war power should reside in. There is a bipartisan effort now to actually reclaim that.  ADRIANA DIAZ: Congressman, many Presidents on both sides of the aisle have skirted that congressional approval for a declaration of war, to have these kind of focused strikes overseas that sometimes lead to a broader conflict. Where should the line be? Where between where, what, where, what the commander, can the President can do as commander-in-chief versus what Congress needs to approve? CROW: Yeah, the basis of the problem here is after 9/11, Congress created what's called an Authorization for Use of Military Force. That AUMF is what we call them in Congress was very broad. It was essentially a blank check that allowed Democrat and Republican congresses, Democrat and Republican presidencies. This is not just a partisan issue. Numerous congresses and numerous presidencies of both political stripes have actually not fixed this problem. And Presidents have used this almost blanket authority to conduct dozens of military operations over decades. So it's time to rein that back in. Let's end that AUMF. Let's terminate it. Let's create a new one that's narrow, that's focused, that allows the President to defend the United States, if there's an imminent risk. That's the standard. There has to be an imminent risk against U.S. persons, U.S. facilities. But absent an imminent risk, you have to come to Congress. Congress has to debate it. We have to go to the American people. We have to get support. And if we don't have support, then we shouldn't be doing it. DUTHIERS: Congressmen, so as you pointed out, you were deployed in both Afghanistan and Iraq. For Americans waking up this morning and seeing this and hearing about it on Saturday, they are going to imagine that we might find ourselves in a situation like Iraq. And I think, can you explain to the American people why that potentially is not going to happen? Because on one hand, you've got the President of the United States saying that he would like the Iranians to come back to the negotiating table. On the other, the Iranians went before the United Nations and said they have the right to respond militarily to these strikes. Boots on the ground seem far-fetched, but we thought that back in before the start of the Iraq War. CROW: Well, you're really getting to the core of the problem here. And that is I can't make assurances to the American people because the administration has told Congress nothing about this. Right? We hear what's being reported on Truth Social by the President and what's being reported on the news. Right? The Congress has been cut out of the situation. We don't know whether there's any plans. We don't know whether there's any indication for boots on the ground. We don't know whether the President wants regime change, wants to topple the Iranian government. I mean, he's indicated that he's thinking about that. These are all things that Congress needs to be a part of. Congress would need to authorize, because it's the American people that have to do the fighting that would have to do the bleeding, that would have to fund this, these wars or these military interventions. And that is what the founders of the constitution said. The most consequential decision, the decision to send our country to war, has to be made by the United States Congress and a full, open manner after debate. And if there isn't support for it by the American people, we just should not be doing it. And had we had that debate, had we done that over the last 20 years, I think that our endeavors in Iraq and Afghanistan probably would have wrapped up much sooner and would have been far less painful. DIAZ: Congressman Jason Crow, with a unique perspective having served overseas. Thank you so much.
