    Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, in response to criticisms from some government supporters regarding the content of a potential agreement with the United States, stated on Sunday that the negotiation process is proceeding based on the resolutions of the Supreme National Security Council and the views of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic.

    In a meeting with domestic media managers, he added: "Strategic decisions of the country must be made within the framework of legal mechanisms, and all factions and groups must consider themselves obligated to comply with these decisions."

    On the verge of signing a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the U.S. to end the war, protests among hardline supporters of the government have escalated against a text that was published as a memorandum in some media, and gatherings have been held by a group of supporters of the Islamic Republic against this agreement and the negotiators.

    In one of these gatherings in Tehran, protesters chanted slogans against Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister, and Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly.

    Trump: I told Netanyahu, what the hell are you doing? A big deal will be signed in the next two to three hours.

    In the video above, Persian subtitles have been added using AI, here’s the text from the first two minutes:
    "Yes, Kevin, good afternoon. I just spoke with President Trump. He told Fox News that he believes a big deal with Iran will be signed in the next two to three hours.

    I asked him about today’s attacks by Israel against Hezbollah in the capital of Lebanon, Beirut. He said he spoke on the phone with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, and asked him: 'What the hell are you doing?' Trump said he told the Prime Minister not to carry out these attacks against Hezbollah so as not to affect the progress of this deal.

    Now, according to the Israeli army, the Israelis are preparing for the possibility of incoming ballistic missile strikes from Iran. President Trump told Fox News that he will ask Iran not to respond with missile strikes towards Israel, as this deal is on the verge of being signed and is expected to be signed tonight.

    All of this is happening against the backdrop of the latest discussions to bring this final deal to the finish line. The President also talked about the mid-week attacks; when the U.S. was targeting many Iranian positions and bringing the Iranians back to the negotiating table.

    You might remember, Kevin, I was speaking on the phone with the President while he was in the situation room, and the Iranians called him asking him to stop the bombing. The President believes that at that moment he was able to change the equation and force the Iranians to make these concessions again.

    President Trump said if they sign the deal tonight, he will immediately order the lifting of the blockade on Iranian ports, and then they will enter into more detailed discussions about Iran's nuclear program.

    But again, the most important news we know right now is: President Trump told Fox News that he believes the deal with Iran will be signed in the next two to three hours. According to the President, this signing will be done electronically, and a week later, a formal signing ceremony is expected to take place, possibly somewhere in Europe.

    I reiterate: The President reacted after today’s attacks by Israel on the capital of Lebanon, Beirut. The Israelis targeted Hezbollah positions in response to drone fire this week from across the border towards northern Israel. And the President says he asked the Prime Minister of Israel: 'What the hell are you doing?'"

    Trump: Let's Not Ruin It!‍

    Trump's post, machine translation:
    The attack this morning in Beirut should not have happened; especially on a special day when we are so close to a peace agreement with Iran. Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack that was carried out in response was very small and insignificant; no one was harmed, injured, or killed, and this important process should not be disrupted.

    We are very close to an agreement that will bring peace to the region, including Lebanon, and all parties must step back. There should be no further attacks by Israel at any point in Lebanon, but there should also be no attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel.

    This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — let's not ruin it!

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the senior negotiator of the Islamic Republic in the agreement talks with the United States, announced that following Israel's attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut, continuing the path of the agreement with the U.S. is "not possible."
    On Sunday, Qalibaf wrote in a message on the social media platform X that the recent attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut once again demonstrated that the U.S. either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or is incapable of doing so.
    He added that attempts to gain concessions by giving a green light to Israel will yield no results, and the "good cop, bad cop" policy is no longer effective.
    He emphasized: "If you lack the will and ability to fulfill your commitments, talking about continuing the path is not possible."

    The official account of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted on Sunday, June 24, to Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf's statements, the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, on the social media platform X, stating that the Islamic Republic "is lying as always."
    In this message, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Israel will not tolerate fire directed at its territory and reminded that Hezbollah attacked Israel again on Sunday morning "without any prior provocation."
    The message noted that Hezbollah continuously targets Israeli civilians and has not stopped its attacks against Israel even after a ceasefire was established.
    On the day that, according to Donald Trump, the agreement to end the war between Iran and the U.S. was supposed to be signed, Qalibaf wrote on X that the attack by Israel "on Dahieh once again showed that the U.S. either has no will to fulfill its commitments or lacks the capability. You cannot gain concessions by giving a green light to the regime. The old good cop, bad cop game is outdated. If you lack the will and ability to fulfill your commitments, talking about continuing the path is not possible."

    On Sunday, June 24, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office announced that the country's army targeted a site belonging to the Hezbollah group in the southern suburbs of Beirut, specifically in the Dahieh neighborhood.
    In a statement regarding this, the Israeli army mentioned that it attacked "terrorist targets belonging to Hezbollah" in Dahieh.

    Earlier, the Israeli army announced that three drones were separately launched into northern Israel on Sunday. Israel held the Hezbollah group responsible for launching these drones.
    On Sunday, the Israeli army also warned residents of several other villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate their homes.
    According to a report by AFP, citing a Hebrew-speaking spokesperson for the Israeli army, residents of 29 villages in the area must relocate to another location. Israel intends to carry out airstrikes on these villages.
    The report stated that on Sunday morning, Israel first warned residents of 13 villages and then residents of 16 other villages in southern Lebanon.

    Mr. Lapid wrote that he hopes "the reports about the agreement with Iran are not true" and pointed out 13 instances that he considers failures and shortcomings of Mr. Netanyahu, including that:

    "He sold an overly optimistic narrative to the Americans without fully outlining the map of dangers and lost their trust in the midst of war."

    He also wrote that Mr. Netanyahu "failed to convince the Americans to bomb Iran's oil and energy facilities" and to "include the issue of ballistic missiles in the agreement or even in the negotiations."

    Mr. Lapid further noted that the Prime Minister of Israel "advanced the plan regarding the Kurds without considering Turkey's predictable reaction and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's influence in Washington."

    While reports from inside Iran indicate that the review of the text of the agreement is ongoing and the timing of its signing remains unclear, Reuters reported on Sunday that the Trump administration has agreed to release $25 billion of Iran's frozen assets as part of the agreement.

    Reuters cited its report from a "senior official" in the Islamic Republic but did not name them.

    According to the Reuters source, the U.S. government has also agreed to dilute Iran's highly enriched uranium within the country.

    These are two of the most contentious issues in the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the U.S.: Trump has repeatedly emphasized the need to take, transfer, or eliminate Iran's 60% enriched uranium while also stating multiple times that he would not give any money to Iran.

    The issue of giving money to the Iranian government has been particularly sensitive for Donald Trump, as he has long criticized Barack Obama for agreeing to transfer money to Tehran during the negotiations leading to the so-called JCPOA.

    Iraqchi: Resistance Led to War
    [It has been interpreted that he is saying the refusal to accept the other side's conditions in negotiations led to war.]

    Abbas Iraqchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, on Saturday, June 13, in an interview with the news network, in response to a question about the cause of the two recent wars, said: "Negotiations were not the cause of the war; the resistance of the diplomatic team in the negotiations was the cause of the war."

    These statements, which contradict the official position of the Islamic Republic and that of Ali Khamenei, the former leader of the Islamic Republic, faced a strong backlash from media and politicians of the principlist faction.

    Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, had said months ago, after the "12-day war," that the enemy attacks wherever it feels we are weak.

    Trump's Strange Insistence on Signing an Agreement with Iran on Sunday and a Test for the Negotiating Team

    🔹A few hours ago, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, reiterated that the "memorandum of understanding" with Iran will be signed on Sunday. This comes despite Iranian negotiating officials explicitly stating that the agreement is not finalized and will definitely not take place on Sunday.

    🔹Notably, Sunday coincides with June 14, Trump's birthday. Some observers speculate that he is insisting on this to symbolically leverage the occasion and turn it into a promotional event for himself.

    🔹However, given the clear positions of Iranian officials regarding the non-finality of the agreement, it seems that our negotiating officials are aware of these hidden layers and will not allow such a media and ceremonial maneuver. From this perspective, the fate of the signing on Sunday will not only be a technical test for the content of the agreement but also a test of the honesty and resilience of Iranian officials against superficial pressures.

    @VahidOOnLine
    Axios news website, citing informed sources, reported that the reason for the video signing of the agreement between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic is "executive and logistical considerations" and the inability of G.D. Vance to travel to Pakistan.

    Axios wrote that one of the main reasons for the video signing of the agreement between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic is that Vance, if he traveled to sign the agreement, would not be able to return to the U.S. before Trump's departure to attend the G7 summit in France on Monday morning.

    ☄️ Trump: The agreement is set to be signed tomorrow, and immediately the Strait of Hormuz will be open.

    Trump's post, machine translation:
    Barack Hussein Obama's agreement with Iran, known as the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, and smooth path to a nuclear weapon; a weapon that Iran could have obtained six years ago and would have used long before now. My agreement with Iran is the exact opposite: a wall preventing access to nuclear weapons!

    In fact, they no longer want a nuclear weapon and will not have such a weapon; neither through purchase, nor development, nor any other form of procurement.
    This agreement is set to be signed tomorrow, and immediately after signing, the Strait of Hormuz will be open to all.

    Our relationship with Iran is very different and better than the relationship previous administrations have had. Unlike the hundreds of billions of dollars Obama paid them, including $1.7 billion in cold hard cash,
    no money will be exchanged.

    At the right time, when everything is calm, we will enter and retrieve the "nuclear dust" buried deep in the powerful granite mountains under the sun — thanks to our beautiful B-2 bombers and their brilliant pilots — and we will
    refine and destroy it; whether in Iran or in the United States.

    We are eager to cooperate with Iran and the entire Middle East for a long future ahead. I hope this process goes quickly, easily, and smoothly for everyone.

    The export control order, citing national security concerns, has prohibited access for "foreign nationals," both inside and outside the United States.

    Anthropic, the maker of the AI assistant "Claude," announced on Friday, June 22, that following an export control order from the U.S. government, it has cut off access to its two advanced models, "Fable 5" and "Mythos 5," "for all users."

    This order was issued under "national security authorities" and prohibits access for any "foreign national," whether inside or outside U.S. territory, including Anthropic's own foreign employees. Anthropic stated that it received this order at 5:21 PM Eastern Time. Since the company cannot instantly separate foreign users from others, it has been forced to deactivate both models for all customers.

    Access to other models from the company, including Opus, remains unchanged.

    According to Axios and The Wall Street Journal, the letter of this order was sent by Howard Latnick, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, to Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, and was drafted in collaboration with the Bureau of Industry and Security of the Department of Commerce.

    The letter's text did not specify detailed security concerns, but according to a government official, Washington became concerned about national security risks after another company claimed it had managed to bypass the safety mechanisms of Mythos ("jailbreak" it).

    The same official added that the government had previously tried to convince Anthropic to delay the release of these models, and after failing, issued the "export control" letter.

    Anthropic has opposed this decision but stated that it will comply.

    According to the company, the disclosed method is a "limited jailbreak"; in practice, it means requesting the model to read a code and fix its errors; vulnerabilities that are minor and already known, which other public models, including OpenAI's GPT-5.5, can also find.

    Anthropic emphasized that Fable 5 has been released with protective measures far stronger than any previous model and has been tested for thousands of hours in collaboration with the U.S. government, the UK’s AI Safety Institute, and independent groups before its release.

    The company described the restriction of access for a commercial model available to hundreds of millions of users due to a limited vulnerability as "disproportionate" and warned that if such a standard is applied across the industry, it would effectively halt the release of any advanced model.

    This order was issued just three days after the unveiling of Fable 5 and Mythos 5, models that Anthropic had introduced as its most powerful systems. Both are built on a technical foundation, but only Fable 5 was released to the public with strict limitations, particularly in the areas of cybersecurity and biology; Mythos 5 was made available without these restrictions and only to a select group of trusted partners, including cybersecurity and infrastructure companies.

    These two are continuations of "Mythos Preview," a model that attracted the attention of Wall Street and government officials this spring with its advanced cybersecurity capabilities and was distributed among a limited group under a plan called "Glasswing."

    However, the significance of this situation goes beyond a single model and a single company: this is the first time Washington has used the export control lever concerning an advanced commercial model. This situation shows that the fate of a model can be determined not by the decision of the creator but by a government order.

    The "nationality-centric" framework of this restriction also directly targets non-American users and companies.

    Anthropic states that it accepts the government's halt on unsafe releases but insists on a legal, transparent process based on technical realities. An action that, according to the company, does not align with such criteria.

    Anthropic has called this situation a "misunderstanding" and stated that it will publish more technical details within the next 24 hours and is working to restore access, although it has not specified a timeline for that.

    The official news agency of Lebanon reported on Saturday, June 23, that shortly after issuing a warning to residents in southern Lebanon, the Israeli army conducted airstrikes on several locations in the area.

    On Saturday morning, the Israeli army warned residents in 20 locations in southern Lebanon, including the city of Nabatieh, that they must leave their homes and move north of the Litani River. The Israeli army stated that this warning was issued following a violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah.

    Now, the National News Agency of Lebanon reports that Israeli fighter jets have bombed several locations, including the two villages of Sajud and Reyhan near the city of Nabatieh.

    Last month, Israel declared all areas south of the Litani River a "war zone" and has been bombing these locations since then.

    Earlier in March, just a week or two after the joint attack by the U.S. and Israel on Iranian territory, Hezbollah launched an attack on Israel in support of the Islamic Republic, which was immediately met with a response from the Israeli army. The conflict between the two continues, even after a ceasefire was established about two months ago.

    Scott Basset, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, announced in an interview with "Fox News" that, given the progress of negotiations, a peace agreement with Iran is expected to be finalized "likely by the end of this week or on Monday."

    Basset pointed out that Donald Trump's decisions to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons imposed short-term costs and pressures on the fuel market and American families' economies. He added, "We understand that the past few months have been tough, and the rise in energy prices has consumed a large portion of wage growth, but we are moving past this critical situation."

    The U.S. Treasury Secretary emphasized that the country's economic infrastructure is currently functioning very robustly and that the energy market is well-supplied. He noted that with the resolution of this dispute and the containment of inflation, global oil prices have decreased by about 25 to 30 percent, and domestic gasoline prices have dropped by more than 10 percent from their peak, with the downward trend in prices and reduction in living costs for people continuing strongly.
