Iranian Tankers Cross US Naval Blockade After Trump Deal Allows Iran To Restart Oil Sales
The first Iranian ships crossed the area of the US naval blockade without obstruction after a memorandum of understanding was reached to end the war between Washington and Tehran, Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency reported Tuesday.
At least three Iranian oil tankers and two cargo ships carrying essential goods broke through the US naval blockade following an accord between the countries.
A large Iranian VLCC and another vessel used to transport livestock moved from open waters toward Iranian ports, the agency said. Another Iranian tanker carrying oil also crossed the Gulf of Oman toward its designated export port, Fars said, without providing further details about the destination.

Supreme Court Rejects Challenge To Trump's First-Term Tariff On China
Authored by Aldgra Fredly via The Epoch Times,
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 15 declined to hear a legal challenge to tariffs imposed on Chinese imports by U.S. President Donald Trump during his first term in 2018.
The decision follows an appeal by HMTX Industries and other businesses after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit last year upheld the tariffs, which Trump previously imposed on Chinese goods under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 in response to China's unfair trade practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation.
The plaintiffs petitioned the Supreme Court to review the ruling, but the high court denied the request on June 15, keeping the tariffs in place. The justices did not provide any explanation for the decision.
According to a Feb. 20 petition filed by the importers, the first Trump administration imposed an initial round of tariffs on $50 billion worth of...

Thune Signals Senate Will Pursue Stand-Alone FISA Renewal Despite Trump's Demands
Via American Greatness,
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, (R-SD,) said Monday that Senate Republicans are moving forward with plans to renew a key federal surveillance authority as a stand-alone measure, despite President Donald Trump's insistence that it be tied to election legislation.
Thune told reporters the Senate is working to revive Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which expired over the weekend after Congress failed to extend it before a deadline.
“We will try and move 702 as soon as we feel like we have the votes to do it,” Thune said.
The Senate majority leader said lawmakers are counting votes and intend to bring the measure to the floor once sufficient support exists.
While we can't know the consequences of Democrats' decision to allow FISA to go dark, we do know it is almost certainly putting our nation at greater risk.
I hope that in the coming days, my Democrat ...
