On 21-22 June the United States joined with Operation Midnight Hammer, striking the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites, and Iran responded with a calibrated, casualty-free missile salvo against the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. A US-brokered ceasefire, mediated with Qatar, took effect on 24 June, ending the fighting amid disputes over post-ceasefire launches and over how badly the strikes had damaged Iran's nuclear program. Casualty figures, especially inside Iran, remained contested between official Iranian counts and independent monitors.","iranKilled":1190,"iranInjured":4475,"israelKilled":28,"israelInjured":3238,"usKilled":0,"casualtyNote":"Israel: 28 killed (27 civilians and one off-duty soldier) and 3,238 hospitalized, per Israel's Health Ministry / Magen David Adom, a figure consistent across sources and not disputed.
