On June 21, 2025, President Trump ordered the U.S. Air Force to strike three Iranian nuclear development sites with 14 30,000-pound "bunker busting" bombs that had never been actually deployed before.
WBAI and the Pacifica Radio Network responded in real time, broadcasting the events of that evening and the next day as they unfolded, including President Trump's remarks LIVE from the White House and the Pentagon briefing that followed the next day.
For several hours that followed, we provided expert analysis that offered a counter narrative to the corporate news media's pro-military coverage, which amplified President Trump's assertion that the Iranian nuclear development had been "completely obliterated"—an assessment that has now been widely challenged.
We also provided an opportunity for listeners to weigh in on the dangerous American escalation by President Trump, which totally bypassed Congress.
