Trump Criticizes Obama's Iran Nuclear Deal Again, Experts Say It Once Effectively Restricted Iran's Nuclear Program
WASHINGTON, June 6 — Former U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his criticism of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) in a recent interview, calling the agreement "almost equivalent to giving Iran a nuclear weapon." He added that any future U.S.-Iran nuclear deal would be "far superior to the Obama-era agreement."
However, several U.S. non-proliferation experts point out that while the JCPOA was not flawless, it successfully constrained Iran’s uranium enrichment activities and established the strictest international nuclear inspection mechanism to date. Ernest Moniz, former U.S. Secretary of Energy, noted that the agreement’s most significant achievement was a major boost in transparency, granting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) unprecedented oversight of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Reports indicate that after the Trump administration withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018, Iran gradually breached the pact’s restrictions, significantly expanding its enriched uranium stockpile and

Monad is planning to reduce the consensus block time to 300 milliseconds to accelerate the block confirmation speed.
June 6: The Monad development team at Category Labs has proposed MIP-12, which would shorten the network’s consensus vote pace from the current 400 milliseconds to 300 milliseconds—aimed at accelerating block confirmation speeds and improving consensus efficiency.
The proposal includes multiple parameter adjustments: the transaction cap will be reduced from 5,000 to 3,750 transactions, the block proposal gas limit will drop from 200 million to 150 million, and the proposal byte limit will be lowered from 2 million bytes to 1.5 million bytes. To align with the faster block generation cadence, the block reward will also be cut from 25 MON per block to 18 MON.
Category Labs clarified that these changes won’t impact client-side execution, but they require a hard fork to implement due to consensus layer parameter modifications. The proposal argues a faster voting pace will help secure a quorum more quickly, speeding up block formation. As of now, MIP-12 remains in the draft stage.

ZachXBT publicly questioned Arthur Hayes: Loudly Bullish on WLD and Quickly Exited, Who Provided Exit Liquidity?
June 6: On-chain sleuth ZachXBT called out BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes for flip-flopping on his crypto takes and dumping tokens rapidly, questioning how much "exit liquidity" he racked up from his followers over the past few days.
Prior to Worldcoin (WLD), Hayes had voiced bullish stances on tokens like NEAR, HYPE, and ZEC—then turned around to repeatedly hammer a strong bull case for WLD, setting a price target far above its current level. But he bailed on his WLD position quickly.
Hayes clapped back, saying he just sold at market price to willing buyers per his trading targets. He added that if WLD’s price had kept climbing, folks would’ve written off his sell-off as a bad call, noting, “This time, my judgment just happened to land right.”
ZachXBT then reposted Hayes’ old WLD bull comments, calling out his swift exit after hyping the token so publicly—sparking a wider community debate about crypto influencers’ market clout and the “exit liquidity” issue.
For context, Hayes had

AC: During the recent significant market correction, only approximately $50,000 in liquidations were triggered, much lower than the traditional LTV model.
June 6: SonicDAO co-founder Andre Cronje shared that during a sharp market pullback on derivatives platform FT (FlyingTulip), the protocol’s equity-based account borrowing model only saw roughly $50,000 in total liquidation volume. The platform’s use of net risk calculations (instead of a standard loan-to-value, or LTV, framework) paired with a soft liquidation mechanism meant the average liquidation per position was just $200 to $2,000.
Cronje emphasized that under a traditional LTV-based lending system, liquidation volume during that same market turbulence would have been 10 to 20 times larger. He explained that the equity-based account model enables risk netting and cuts down on market impact through soft liquidations, delivering a borrowing experience that’s safer, less volatile, and involves smaller discounts compared to traditional alternatives.

AI Security Emerges as the Darling of Venture Capitalists, Investors Bet on the "Public Utility of the AI Era"
June 6 (Forbes) – While financing for the traditional cloud security space is cooling, the AI security track is emerging as a top target for investors in 2025. Data shows only 15 cloud security firms secured funding last year, compared to 144 rounds for AI security-related startups – making this sub-market the most active in cybersecurity overall.
Analysts note investors aren’t betting on AI applications themselves; instead, they’re focused on the sustainable operational costs tied to AI use, including core infrastructure needs like compliance, identity management, verification, and governance. This type of spending acts like a utility: even if an AI project falls short of expected returns, companies still have to cover these mandatory security and regulatory expenses.
A high-profile example underscores this trend: Google’s $3.2 billion acquisition of cloud security firm Wiz this year marks its largest purchase in history. Wiz hit over $1 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in
