Trump Concedes Iran 'Seriously Talking To Us' As Ayatollah Says 'We Don't Seek To Attack Any Country'
President Donald Trump made a big admission to Fox News on Saturday. He said Iran is currently talking to US negotiators, and he offered it as a positive sign that attacks on Iran could be averted.
"You could make a negotiated deal that would be satisfactory with no nuclear weapons," Trump said. "They should do that, but I don't know that they will. But they are talking to us. Seriously talking to us."

One significant problem remains: both sides are in complete disagreement as to precisely what can and should be negotiated. Tehran says it is open to resuming talks on nuclear weapons and development, while the Trump administration has started insisting that Iran be made to limit the range and capabilities of its ballistic missiles.
But Iran has shut the door on talks on its ballistic missile arsenal, given this is all it has to wage...

Iran Vows Prolonged All-Out War If Attacked As Trump Still Seeks 'Options'
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi penned an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday warning the United States that Tehran will be "firing back with everything we have if we come under renewed attack" - following President Trump reiterating threats against the Islamic Republic.
"Our powerful armed forces have no qualms about firing back with everything we have if we come under renewed attack," he wrote in reference to the 12-day war of last June.
AFP/Getty Images: Iran is prepared for war but ready to negotiate, Iran's FM has made clear.
The top Iranian diplomat stated that this was not a "threat" but a "reality I feel I need to convey explicitly, because as a diplomat and a veteran, I abhor war."
Araghchi said his country is ready for all-out war, describing that "an all-out confrontation will certainly be ferocious and drag on far, far longer than the fantasy...

US Outraged Iranian Warships Are Docked At Cape Town: South Africa 'Cozying Up' To Tehran
The United States is making its anger known to longtime but strained ally South Africa, charging the country's defense ministry of ignoring directives from its own government to send Iranian warships home after they took part in naval exercises in South African waters.
Washington's statement held nothing back: "South Africa can't lecture the world on 'justice' while cozying up to Iran," the US embassy in South Africa posted on Facebook. Islamic Republic warships have been docked in Cape Town for some days now. "Iran is a destabilizing actor and state sponsor of terror, and its inclusion in joint exercises - in any capacity - undermines maritime security and regional stability," the US statement said.

Watch: Chaos Erupts As U-Haul Driven Into LA Protest Against Iran Regime
Amid reports that hundreds of anti-government demonstrators in Iran have been killed in recent days -- and President Trump reportedly considering US intervention -- tensions over the Iran crisis hit a flash point in Los Angeles on Sunday when a U-Haul truck with signage opposing the reinstallation of an Iranian monarchy drove through a group of marchers calling for regime change. The crowd quickly went from frightened screams to outraged violence, mobbing the truck after it stopped and pummeling the driver as police took him into custody.
The incident, which appears to spring from clashing views within the Iranian diaspora, unfolded at 3:40pm on Sunday afternoon, after a crowd of demonstrators had gathered in LA's upscale Westwood. Along with adjacent Westside neighborhoods, Westwood forms the epicenter of LA's prosperous Iranian-American population. At approximately 138,000, it's one of the largest populations of ...

US Imposes Sweeping New Sanctions On Iranian Shipping Network
Via The Cradle
The US Treasury Department has announced new sanctions targeting the global shipping interests reportedly controlled by Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, son of senior Iranian official Ali Shamkhani, in what it described as the most significant Iran-related action since 2018.
The sanctions aim to dismantle what Treasury officials called a "vast network" used to sell Iranian and Russian oil through container ships and tankers operated by front companies and intermediaries.
via Reuters
The network, they said, generated tens of billions of dollars used to support the Iranian government.
"These profits have helped prop up the Iranian regime," the Treasury stated, accusing Shamkhani of leveraging corruption and personal connections in Tehran to evade existing restrictions.
In total, the action designates 15 shipping firms, 52 vessels, 12 individuals, and 53 entities involved in sanctions evasion, with opera...

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%).

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...
