As U.S. bunker-busters hammer Iran’s nuclear sites and Tehran threatens to choke off the Strait of Hormuz, a deadly suicide bombing at a Damascus church shows just how fast the fuse is burning across the Middle East. Welcome to Sunday, June 22nd, 2025. This is SOFREP’s Evening Brief.
We did more than send a message—we carved it into the bedrock with a 30,000-pound pen named MOP and left Tehran to read it in the dark.
Missiles fly, embassies evacuate, and NATO braces for discord—Friday’s headlines span war zones, diplomacy, and rising global tensions.
The MOP wasn’t built to send messages or win hearts—it was built to turn fortified mountains into smoking craters when talking stops working.
You don’t surge tankers, raise force protection levels, and send the Marines east unless somebody, somewhere, just greenlit the next chapter.
When it comes to missile defense, you can’t afford to gamble—standard doctrine may call for firing two or three interceptors per threat, but with modern missile swarms and decoys, it’s a long shot at best.
Trump’s ultimatum to Iran: negotiate in 2 months—or face the unthinkable. Could the first US nuclear strike since WWII be looming?
On a day meant to celebrate American might—from Abrams tanks rolling through D.C. to Musk’s satellites lighting up Tehran—Minnesota was jolted awake by the cold truth that political violence isn’t something we watch overseas anymore; it’s parked on our front porch wearing a badge and carrying a hit list. Welcome to Sunday, June 15, 2025. This is your SOFREP Morning Brief.
Israel won the first round in this fight, now time will tell if Iran can regroup or if they’ll be taken down for the count in round two.
