71 killed in Israeli attack on Iran prison, official says
The June 23 strike targeted the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran.
President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is "not happy" with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges. Trump said Iran and Israel both "violated" the ceasefire that he announced late on Monday.
Through last week, the president and his administration continued to push back on an early intelligence report suggesting that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities may have only set Tehran's nuclear program back by months.

White House transmits formal notice of Iran strikes to Congress
The White House transmitted its official notice of the U.S. strikes on Iran to Congressional Leaders in the House and Senate Monday evening.
Under the War Powers Resolution, the administration has 48 hours after an attack to notify Congress of its action. This notification arrived before the deadline.
The letter, posted to the White House's website, does not appear to provide many new details on the strike.
"I directed this military action consistent with my responsibility to protect United States citizens both at home and abroad as well as in furtherance of United States national security and foreign policy interests," President Donald Trump wrote in the letter. "I acted pursuant to my constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive and pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct United States foreign relations."
Both the House and the Senate are slated to receive classified briefings on Iran on Tuesday.

Vance reacts to ceasefire deal: 'Tomorrow really is a new day'
Vice President JD Vance reacted live to President Donald Trump's social media post announcing a ceasefire between Israel and Iran in an interview with Fox News.
"Tomorrow really is a new day -- the end of the 12-day war, the end of the Iranian nuclear program and I really do believe the beginning of something very big for peace in the Middle East," Vance told Bret Baier.
The vice president said he previewed Trump's social media post before he went on air with Fox News.
"He's been working the phones constantly -- frankly, before the 12-day war started, but certainly over the past 12 days," Vance said. "The president's been extremely clear about America's national objective -- it is to create a world where Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon."
Vance said he thinks Trump has "hit the reset button" and called the conflict "an important reset moment for the entire region."
