June 15 — During an appearance on Israel’s Channel 12, former U.S. President Donald Trump sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over an Israeli attack on Beirut that came just an hour before the planned signing of a U.S.-Iran nuclear deal, calling the strike “reckless” and telling the interviewer it left him “very angry.” Trump recalled getting word of the Beirut attack right before the deal was set to be signed, saying, “I couldn’t believe something like that would happen — it’s terrible.” He noted that earlier rocket fire from Hezbollah had landed in uninhabited areas with no casualties, but Netanyahu still pushed through what Trump called Israel’s “damn attack” targeting Beirut. While the strike delayed the signing ceremony, Trump insisted the deal was still favorable to Israel. He argued the agreement would prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons, allow inspections of suspicious sites with only 24 hours’ advance notice, and eliminate Iran’s stockpile

June 15 — An official involved in U.S.-Iran negotiations stated that the mediator is optimistic about the imminent conclusion of the U.S.-Iran agreement, noting that the negotiations are progressing smoothly.

**Financial News Brief (June 14)** Renowned "White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity pushed back sharply on technical analysis (TA) in a recent conversation, labeling it "traders’ astrology"—a tool for confirming market sentiment divergences and leveraging crowd psychology to identify entry points, not a reliable predictor of a stock’s true upside potential. "TA can help you gauge what retail investors and traders are thinking right now, but it won’t tell you how far a stock will actually go," Serenity stated.

Meanwhile, AXTI’s 8,000% surge wasn’t triggered by a "Golden Waterfall Candlestick Alert"—it was driven by fundamentals including indium phosphide substrate demand, export controls, and photonics sector growth. For Serenity, the corr

June 14 — A source close to Iran’s negotiation team told Iran’s Fars News Agency on the same day, ahead of Israel’s strike on Lebanon, that Tehran had conveyed its desired deal terms and specific details via a Qatari delegation. No formal agreement has been reached yet, the source added. While talks have faced twists and turns, Iran’s non-negotiable bottom line is that all its requested terms must be fully included in a U.S.-Iran accord, and “we will absolutely not sign any agreement at the time U.S. President Trump has announced.” Separately, Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reports that a Qatari delegation has arrived in Tehran to hold talks with Iranian officials on advancing diplomatic efforts to end the current conflict. U.S. President Trump, meanwhile, has said the U.S. and Iran are scheduled to sign an agreement on June 14 (local time).

June 14 – U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the U.S. is proceeding as planned to sign an agreement with Iran, stressing the core question is not whether the deal will be signed but when. Austin noted the signing is scheduled for this Sunday local time, adding that Israel’s strike on Beirut’s southern outskirts is not expected to hinder the Iran accord.
