    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated in a phone conversation on Tuesday with the Wall Street Journal that the severe effects of sanctions have made Iran "very poor," and Washington will maintain the maritime blockade of Iranian ports for as long as necessary.
    Trump also downplayed the recent incident of the crash of an American Apache helicopter, saying it was "not a big deal" and emphasized that "the pilot is fine."
    According to a CENTCOM report, the occupants of the Apache spent two hours in the darkness on the water before being rescued, and a senior U.S. official described their escape from the incident as a miracle akin to "the hand of God."

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced during a conversation with reporters on Monday night while returning from New York to Washington that the United States is very close to reaching a very good, solid, and powerful agreement with the Islamic Republic.

    Trump, dismissing the existence of any major points of contention in the negotiations, said, "If you want to know the truth, we have a good chance, and we should be able to finalize the agreement within an hour."

    The U.S. President, preferring a diplomatic solution over military options, warned that bombing Iran at this time would come at the cost of countless lives and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz for months, completely eliminating the opportunity for an agreement.

    Emphasizing the success of Washington's strategy, he added, "The final signed document will be more effective than bombing. It has been proven that a naval blockade is a very powerful lever and has acted much stronger than bombing." Trump concluded by noting that the combination of initial aggression and blockade has dealt a severe blow to Iran's economy.

    Two members of the Iranian Air Defense Force were killed in yesterday's Israeli attack

    So far, there had been no reports of casualties from the Israeli attacks on Monday and Tuesday, with 15 injuries reported.

    The Israeli army stated yesterday that it had carried out a "comprehensive" attack on Iran's strategic defense systems.

    According to a statement from the Israeli army, during the 12-day war, Iran's defense weakened, but later "defensive systems were deployed in various parts of Iran" to rebuild their capabilities, which were destroyed in these attacks.

    CENTCOM stated that the two military personnel aboard the helicopter were rescued within approximately two hours and are in stable condition. The agency also added that the cause of the incident is still under investigation. An American official told ABC News that the two pilots of the helicopter were retrieved from the water after the crash by an unmanned surface vessel or marine drone and were transported to land.

    JD Vance, Trump's aide, expressed confidence in an interview with Fox News that the United States and the Islamic Republic can reach a long-term agreement regarding the nuclear issue.

    He stated that regardless of whether Israel likes it or not, such an agreement is in the interest of the United States, and Washington will continue to pursue it.

    Vance, referring to concerns that Tehran may be playing Washington, said: One of the most important factors for the success of this final agreement is not what the Islamic Republic writes on paper, but whether it will actually adhere to some of the requirements of the agreement we reach.

    He emphasized that the U.S. will verify the Islamic Republic's commitment to such an agreement in the long term, saying: Let's be honest. The Iranians do not want this war to continue. Continuing the war is not in their interest. They have come to the negotiating table and are making real proposals. If we reach this agreement, it will be a great success for the American people.
    @VahidOOnLine
    JD Vance in conversation with Fox News: The President's position has been very clear. Israel has its own specific goals, but the main objective of the United States regarding Iran is to ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
    JD Vance: In recent months, and indeed over the past year and a half, conditions have arisen that the President believes—and I think he is right—that a long-term solution to the Iranian nuclear issue can be achieved.
    Vance: Israel may or may not like such an agreement, but we believe this path is in the interest of the United States of America. That is why we will pursue it, because this is what the President of the United States was elected to do and it is what we must do to serve the American people.

    Ismail Qaani, the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has reacted to the missile attack from Yemen towards Israel last night, describing it as a sign of what he calls the "intelligence of the resistance front."

    Mr. Qaani stated on Tuesday: "The timely and powerful action of the heroic Yemen shows the intelligence of the resistance front; if necessary, others will also come. The malice of the Zionist regime and the U.S. in this region will provoke a reaction from the united resistance front. Borderless fighters are overseeing your passageways; if you continue your aggression, they will seize your throat."

    On Sunday night, the Israeli army announced that it had detected a missile launch from Yemen towards Israel and shortly thereafter reported intercepting it.

    Soon after, the Houthis of Yemen confirmed the attack on Israel, stating that they targeted the "occupied area of Jaffa."

    The Houthis also declared a "complete and absolute" ban on Israeli maritime traffic in the Red Sea:

    "We will not remain silent in the face of the unjust blockade imposed on our people and the people of the axis of jihad and resistance in Palestine, Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq."

    According to the report, the U.S. Department of Justice has accused these individuals of concealing important information, providing false information during the citizenship application process, or committing various crimes.

    CBS wrote that this action is part of a broader campaign by the Trump administration to utilize legal mechanisms to strip citizenship from individuals who, according to U.S. officials, obtained their citizenship through fraud or concealment.

    Among those targeted by this action are several individuals who have been accused or convicted of crimes including child sexual abuse, financial fraud, money laundering, immigration fraud, and using false identities.

    According to the Israeli source, Trump asked Netanyahu during this call to limit Israel's response in order to prevent escalating tensions.

    The report stated that Netanyahu resisted Trump's request during the first call, which took place on Sunday evening U.S. time, insisting that Israel must respond to Iran's attacks.

    Despite Trump's warning in the Sunday night conversation, the Israeli military targeted some sites in Iran, including an important petrochemical complex.

    The network also noted that the tone of recent conversations between Trump and Netanyahu has not been as harsh as the calls from the previous week.

    Post from the United States Central Command account, machine translation:
    Tampa, Florida — U.S. forces disabled an empty oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman on June 8 after the vessel attempted to move toward an Iranian port, violating the ongoing blockade against Iran.

    The United States Central Command, CENTCOM, disabled the M/T Marivex tanker flying the Palauan flag while it was heading toward Iran in international waters of the Gulf of Oman. An F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet from the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) fired precision munitions at the engineering and navigation sections of the ship after the crew refused to comply with U.S. forces' orders. The Marivex is no longer heading toward Iran.

    Since the blockade began on April 13, CENTCOM forces have disabled seven violating vessels, redirected 134 compliant ships, and allowed 42 humanitarian aid-carrying vessels to pass.
