I’m finding it hard to find concise info on what’s been going on in/around Iran. Can anyone throw a brief timeline of events for me? Pretty pretty please?

Edi: thanks for all the comments and answers, appreciate it!

    I went back through Wikipedia’s current events from June 2025 and put together a rough timeline:

    • 2025-06-12: IAEA declares Iran in breach of its nuclear non-proliferation obligations.
    • 2025-06-13: Israel attacks Iran targeting nuclear facilities and senior government officials. Iran retaliates with missles and drones.
    • 2025-06-17: Donald Trump calls for Iran’s unconditional surrender. Iran refuses.
    • 2025-06-22: The US announces it has bombed multiple nuclear facilities in Iran – particularly including sites at Fordow and Natanz which are deep underground – using its unusual ~30000 pound (~12000 kg) Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs. Iran retaliates by firing missles at a US base in Qatar and by voting to close the Strait of Hormuz.
    • 2025-06-24: The US and Qatar mediate a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Donald Trump says Israel and Iran “don’t know what the fuck they are doing” as the countries continue fighting initially. It seems to be holding so far after a rocky start though?

      I’d also add the bit in the middle where trump publicly tweets that they’re going to bomb the nuclear facilities and ends up doing very little damage as Iran had plenty of time to casually move their nuclear supplies off site.

      This upsets the shriveled tangerine.

      Really appreciate you doing this for me.

      I feel bit dumb I didn’t think to check wiki. But I also realize wiki didn’t come up in my searches and how that’s starting to concern me
