1 hours ago

WASHINGTON, June 22 – U.S. Vice President Vance announced Thursday that the Strait of Hormuz has been reopened, with the U.S. and Iran establishing a long-term mechanism to safeguard unimpeded transit through the strategic waterway. Vance noted that bilateral talks in Vienna have made significant progress, with negotiators haggling until roughly 1 a.m. local time, putting solid groundwork in place for a comprehensive accord. On the nuclear front, Vance revealed Iran has agreed to grant International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors return access – a major breakthrough in the long-running negotiations. Turning to the situation in Lebanon, Vance called on all factions there to maintain proper coordination to stabilize the volatile region. Vance emphasized that much work remains ahead, however. Technical-level talks will continue in the coming days and weeks, overseen by specialized technical teams. He also warned that if Iran makes misleading claims, President Trump will respond firmly. Vance added he will return to the U.S. shortly once the negotiations wrap up.

US-Iran Negotiations Make Significant Progress, Iran Agrees to IAEA Inspectors' Return, Yellen Calls It a Key Step in Denuclearization

WASHINGTON, June 22 – U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance announced Monday that "significant progress" has been made in the Iran-related nuclear negotiations spanning Switzerland, Bushehr, and Stockholm, with Iran agreeing to readmit International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to its nuclear sites. Vance framed the concession as a "major milestone for the American people" and the "first step toward Iran’s permanent denuclearization." The negotiation process faced notable hurdles, Vance acknowledged, with "threats and complaints" surfacing during talks, but he emphasized that diplomatic efforts remained on track and delivered tangible results. Over the weekend, tensions briefly stalled discussions when Iran threatened to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz, citing allegations that Israel violated the regional ceasefire with strikes targeting Lebanon. Mediation from Pakistan and Qatar helped resolve those frictions and allowed talks to resume, per Vance’s remarks. Iranian Foreign

Analyst: Bitcoin Shows Resilience After Fed's Hawkish Stance, But Market Demand Has Not Yet Returned

On June 22nd, multiple market analysts noted that despite Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s hawkish stance and persistent macroeconomic uncertainty weighing on the crypto space, Bitcoin has shown more resilience than expected lately. Still, there’s no clear sign of a demand recovery taking hold in the market. Current data puts Bitcoin’s price hovering around $64,700, down roughly 13% over the past month and nearly 50% from its all-time high hit last October. Analysts believe selling pressure is nearing exhaustion, but buying interest has yet to return—leaving the market stuck in a phase of range-bound trading and deleveraging.
