LA County Sheriff's Dept Deletes Post Calling Iran Strikes 'Tragic' After Backlash
Authored by Aldgra Fredly via The Epoch Times,
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department apologized on Sunday for a social media post that expressed condolences to people affected by bombings in Iran following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites on June 21.
The now-deleted post on the social media platform X read, “Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran.”
The department also referred to the incident as a tragic event.
The department said in the post that it would increase patrol checks at places of worship and other sensitive locations, though there had been no known threats detected in Los Angeles County.
The original post appeared to have been deleted from X but the version on Facebook remained.
It has since been edited to remove the reference to Iran.
The department issued a formal statement on June 22 apologizing for the post, acknowledging that it ...

Futures Rebound, Oil Slides As Dip Buyers Fade US Bombing Of Iran
US stock futures rebounded strongly overnight after initially falling as much as 1% to 5,970 after the weekend escalation in the Iran-Israeli war where the US bombed three key nuclear facilities in Iran, to eventually rise as much as 0.3% before fading again as US traders came to their desks, while Europe traded near session lows. As of 8:00am ET, S&P futures are down 0.1% while Nasdaq 100 futures drop 0.3% with Mag 7 names mixed, as TSLA outperforms (+1.5% after the Robotaxi launch), META (+0.4%) and GOOG/L (+0.4%). Bond yields reversed an earlier rise, only to slump sharply just before 8am ET, the US dollar surges as the world remembers just what the flight to safety currency is (the basket case of a currency that is the Japanese yen tumbled to 148, the lowest in almost two months). Commodities are largely flat; Brent crude pared an advance of as much as 5.7% to about 1.2%, trading below $78 a barrel as the market took Iran's...

Only 16% Of Americans, 19% Of Trump Voters Want US To Join Israel's War On Iran
As President Trump reportedly considers issuing an unconstitutional order to commit the US military to Israel's war on Iran, a new poll finds very little public support for an American attack on Iran -- even among those who voted for Trump in 2024.
According to an Economist/YouGov poll taken between June 13 and 16, only 16% of Americans "think the US military should get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran. In an even more significant finding, only 19% of people who voted for Trump in 2024 support American military involvement. (23% of all self-identified Republicans support going to war.) Similarly, 56% of all Americans say the United States should engage in negotiations with Iran. That avenue has even greater support among Trump supporters -- with 63% advocating negotiations.

On the other hand, some of the poll's findings illustrate the effectiveness of decades of governmen...

John Plueger, Air Lease CEO says the US needs to maintain a strong Boeing in the wake of the Air India crash involving one of their planes. Bob McNally of Rapidan Energy says crude prices could easily rise a further $3-5 on conflict risks. “Bloomberg Brief” delivers the market news, data and analysis you need to set your agenda.

Iran's IRGC Confirms Purchase Of Russian Advanced Sukhoi-35 Jets In First
The Islamic Republic appears to be gearing up for four years of the new Trump administration, as the US President carries a big stick but has also vowed to wind-down war hot spots around the world, particularly in Gaza and Ukraine.
Already, one big geopolitical result of US sanctions related to the Ukraine war has been to push Moscow and Tehran into a closer security relationship, which has seen Iranian suicide drones used with regularity on the Ukraine battlefield, and even reports of ballistic missile transfers (officially denied by Tehran).
But on Monday Reuters and other agencies have cited a senior Revolutionary Guards Commander (IRGC) to say Iran has purchased Russian-made Sukhoi-35 fighter jets.

Never before have the Iranians confirmed the purchase of advanced Su-35 jets, though for years it's been well-known that they have significant Russian military equipment.
