US says strikes ‘devastated' Iran's nuclear programme
Unprecedented US strikes have wrecked Iran's nuclear programme, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Sunday, though other officials cautioned the extent of damage at the three sites was unclear. Iran's leaders struck a defiant tone and vowed to respond, while an adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed their stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. International concern intensified over the surprise attacks deepening conflict in the Middle East after Israel launched its bombing campaign against Iran earlier this month. US President Donald Trump said he wanted peace and urged Iran to end the conflict after he launched massive overnight strikes on a key underground uranium enrichment site at Fordo, along with nuclear facilities in Isfahan and Natanz. STORY CONTINUES AFTER LIVE BLOG 'We devastated the Iranian nuclear programme,' Hegseth told a Pentagon press briefing, adding that the operation 'did not target Iranian troops or the Iranian people'. Standing beside Hegseth, top US general Dan Caine said, 'It would be way too early for me to comment on what may or may not still be there.' 'Initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction.' Protests in Tehran People gathered on Sunday in the centre of Tehran to protest against US and Israeli attacks, waving flags and chanting slogans, state TV showed. Trump claimed total success for the operation in an address to the nation hours after the attack, and US Vice-President JD Vance followed up on Sunday morning. 'We know that we set the Iranian nuclear programme back substantially last night, whether it's years or beyond,' he told ABC. But he also suggested Iran still had its highly enriched uranium. 'We're going to work in the coming weeks to ensure that we do something with that fuel,' he said. 'They no longer have the capacity to turn that stockpile of highly enriched uranium to weapons-grade uranium.' In Tehran, AFP journalists said aircraft had roared over the city for the first time since Israel's initial attacks. 'Even if nuclear sites are destroyed, game isn't over, enriched materials, indigenous knowledge, political will remain,' Khamenei advisor Ali Shamkhani said in a post on X. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed that the United States would 'receive a response' to attacks during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, according to the official IRNA news agency. Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told CNN that there were clear signs of the hit on Fordo. But 'no one, neither us [or] nobody else could be able to tell you how much it has been damaged', he said. The IAEA said it had not detected any increase in radiation levels at the nuclear sites and Tehran said on Sunday there were no signs of contamination. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prayed for Trump at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Sunday, after hailing the strikes as a move that would 'change history'. Retaliation risk The Israeli military was also checking the results of the US raid on the deeply buried nuclear facility in Fordo, with a spokesman saying it was 'too soon' to know if Iran had removed enriched uranium from the site. The main US strike group was seven B-2 Spirit bombers that flew 18 hours from the American mainland to Iran, Caine said. In response to the attack, which used over a dozen massive 'bunker buster' bombs, Iran's armed forces said they targeted multiple sites in Israel, including Ben Gurion airport, the country's main international gateway near Tel Aviv. Israeli rescuers said at least 23 people were wounded. In Jerusalem, Claudio Hazan, a 62-year-old software engineer, said he hoped the US intervention would hasten an end to the Iran-Israel war. 'Israel by itself would not stop ... and it would take longer.' At least nine members of the Revolutionary Guards were killed on Sunday in Israeli attacks on central Iran, local media reported, as fighting between the two foes continued. The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman, which had been mediating Iran-US nuclear talks, criticised the US move and called for de-escalation. The leaders of France, Germany and Britain on Sunday urged Iran 'not to take any further action that could destabilise the region'. Following his address, Trump warned Iran against retaliation. Iran and its proxies have previously attacked US military bases in Iraq and elsewhere in the region. Iran's Houthi allies in Yemen on Sunday repeated their threat to resume attacks in the Red Sea if Washington joined the war, saying they were ready to target US ships and warships. The US President had stepped up his rhetoric against Iran since Israel first struck the country on June 13, repeating his insistence it could never have nuclear weapons.

Pacific News In Brief For 20 June 2025
New Caledonia - cocaine The French Directorate General of Customs says 67 kilograms of cocaine has been seized in New Caledonia between April and May this year. Local media reported the operation resulted in the discovery of more than 500 kilograms of narcotics at various ports across the region. New Caledonia and French Polynesia Customs took part in a joint operation with the Australian Border Force, New Zealand Customs, the US Homeland Security Investigations and Jamaica. At the end of March this year, 142 kilograms of cocaine was seized in French Polynesia. It was found packed in insulation panels of a refrigerated container bound for Australia. Fiji - domestic violence Fiji police have reported 105 cases of family violence against women and children for May 2025. More than 200 women had crimes committed against them - 11 percent of these were sexual offences and 89 percent were assault-related. Seventy-two of those crimes were from a spouse or partner. One hundred and 14 children had crimes done against them and more than two-thirds of those were sexual offences. Five police officers were charged with offences during the month - including one facing charges of unlawful supply and import of illicit drugs. Police said there was a 14 per cent reduction in overall crime which is ahead of its 10 per cent target. Fiji - election workers The Fijian Elections Office says FJ$44,000 - about US$20,000 - in temporary worker payments from the 2018 General Election remain unpaid. FBC reported this has come to light during the Public Accounts Committee submission on the election office's 2021-2022 Audit Report. The election office's financial controller said the delay was caused by incomplete employee information for some of the 12,000 temporary election workers. The office said they are closely coordinating with the Fiji National Provident Fund to verify the remaining employee data to fast-track this process. Papua New Guinea - mining The mining company New Porgera is celebrating achieving its production targets, despite the impact of continuing lawlessness and a devastating landslide in the region. The new company, run by Barrick Gold, but with a significant PNG Government shareholding, replaced the former company after a lease dispute shut it down for more than three years. The Porgera region of Enga Province experienced the devastating Mulitaka landslide, which claimed many lives and shut the main road link out of the district. There have also been extensive law and order issues that resulted in a state of emergency being implemented, and dozens of arrests being made, many for illegal mining within the mine pit. Papua New Guinea - prisons The Papua New Guinea Correctional Service has signed an agreement with the Department of Education which will see education and training programmes rolled out in jails across the country. NBC reported that the memorandum highlights the vital role education plays in restoring dignity, instilling hope, and creating opportunities for those seeking a second chance. The rollout of structured learning and skills training within prisons is expected to transform lives behind bars. Acting corrections commissioner Bernard Nepo called the initiative a lifeline for inmates.

Town crying out for new town crier
PHOTO: YVONNE PICKFORD Hear ye! Hear ye! The town of Bluff is in need of a new town crier. The need has arisen after the town's previous crier, Justine Haenni, moved away recently. Ms Haenni was a valuable addition at many events, performing her role on various occasions both in Bluff and further afield, enhancing events and adding a sense of occasion to proceedings. As Ms Haenni has done in the past, anyone considering taking up the role would attend events in the Bluff Town Crier regalia and welcome guests, read short scripts prepared for the occasion, make announcements during events — anything that required speaking in public clearly and loudly. She was fluent in English, German and French so was ideally placed to communicate with a wide range of audiences but that was a bonus not a prerequisite, of anyone thinking of taking up the role, she said. The historical role of a town crier was to make public pronouncements in the streets, normally by ringing a bell to gain attention for the message they were about to deliver. Many towns around the world still had someone performing the role, these days as a unique feature at events and occasions.
