Iran says missile attack matched number of US bombs, signaling likely desire to de-escalate

Iran said its missile attack on Al Udeid air base in Qatar matched the number of bombs dropped by the United States on Iranian nuclear sites this weekend, signaling Iran’s likely desire to deescalate, AP reports.

Iran made the announcement on Monday night in a statement from its Supreme National Security Council after the attack, which Qatar said caused no injuries.

Iran also said it targeted the base because it was outside of populated areas.

Collective statement from Evin Prison, Tehran, in rough translation,
part 1 of 2:
─────
Today, Monday, June 23, 2025, Evin Prison was targeted by an airstrike. As a result of the impact from fighter jets attributed to Israel, parts of the administrative buildings, medical facilities, and the judicial office of the prison were severely damaged and destroyed.

Following this attack, a section of Ward 4 collapsed, windows and glass were shattered, and the interior space of the prison was destabilized. Simultaneously, many prisoners, in fear and seeking to save their lives, took refuge on lower floors, which resulted in injuries to several of them.

The prison's medical facilities have been effectively destroyed, and there are no initial resources available to address the condition of the injured inmates. Despite the deteriorating condition of some of the wounded, prison authorities have refused to transfer them to medical centers outside the prison, effectively leaving them without any care.

Meanwhile, instead of providing aid, security forces and prison guards have heavily secured the prison by deploying extensively in the wards, creating a highly secure environment. Threats, intimidation, and pressure on prisoners have increased, and we are facing double repression.

Part 2 of 2 of collective statement from Evin Prison, Tehran, in rough translation:
─────
Outside the prison, all routes leading to Evin have been completely blocked, and families are prevented from entering. Nevertheless, some families, despite the danger, have gathered in front of Evin Prison to learn about the fate of their loved ones.

We, the defenseless prisoners under siege, declare: In the face of bombardment, we had neither shelter nor an escape route; and in the face of the organized crime that has cast a shadow over our bodies, lives, and dignity for years, there is no shield left.

We appeal to the people, families, activists, and awakened consciences:
Do not remain silent.
Gather immediately in front of Evin Prison to save our lives.
We are injured, threatened, and may lose our lives at any moment.

Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh, north coast of Iran, was bombed by Israel.

Goodnight.

Iran’s foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has responded to reports of a ceasefire with Israel, saying in a post on X.

'As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around. As of now, there is NO “agreement” on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards. The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later.'

U.S. President Donald Trump told Israel Tuesday, "Do not drop those bombs" on Iran, hours after he had said a ceasefire between the two arch-foes had taken effect.

"ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS," Trump said on his Truth Social platform. "IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!"
