🇮🇷 IRAN TO UN: YOU CAN WATCH OUR NUCLEAR PROGRAM, JUST DON'T OPEN THAT DOOR Despite suspending cooperation, Iran’s top diplomat says they’ll still work with the UN's nuclear watchdog, just through a tightly controlled security council. He claims Iran’s still committed to the N.P.T. and its Safeguards Agreement, calling the move a safety measure. UN inspectors are still in Iran but haven’t been allowed near nuclear sites since the fighting started. Source: Bloomberg

🇮🇷🇺🇳IRAN OFFICIALLY SUSPENDS COOPERATION WITH UN NUCLEAR WATCHDOG Iran just told the UN’s nuclear inspectors to get lost - accusing them of helping set the stage for Israeli airstrikes that hit nuclear sites and killed scientists. President Masoud Pezeshkian made it official after Iran’s parliament passed a bill demanding “security guarantees” before any more IAEA access. Lawmakers are even pushing to ban IAEA chief Rafael Grossi from entering the country at all. Source: Al Arabiya

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN LOADED NAVAL MINES TO BLOCK STRAIT OF HORMUZ AFTER NUCLEAR STRIKES U.S. intel reportedly shows Iran loaded naval mines onto vessels in the Gulf after Israel struck its nuclear sites on June 13. The mines were never deployed but the target was clear, the Strait of Hormuz. One in five barrels of global oil flows through that narrow choke point. The move was seen as a real threat to global shipping. The White House credits Operation Midnight Hammer for keeping the waterway open. Whether the mines are still onboard remains unknown.

🇮🇱 🇮🇷 GPS CHAOS NEAR IRAN: SHIPS GO BLIND IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ Tankers near the Strait of Hormuz are disappearing from navigation screens and reappearing on land, sometimes on camel racetracks. Almost 1,000 ships a day recently experienced GPS jamming near Iran, raising fears of crashes, oil spills, and maritime gridlock. Experts point to spoofing and jamming by state-level actors, potentially linked to missile defense systems. In one incident, a $260 million supertanker veered off course, and its crew had to navigate by sight. A crash involving the Front Eagle led to a 10 sq km oil spill, and may have been caused by signal interference. Even small positioning errors are dangerous in narrow, high-traffic chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz. Source: Bloomberg News

🚨🇺🇸GAS PRICES SURGE AS IRAN TENSIONS RATTLE OIL MARKETS AAA reports gas prices in Florida jumped 16 cents in a week, hitting $3.11 amid fears Iran may shut the Strait of Hormuz. That narrow chokepoint moves 20% of the world’s oil — and even the threat of closure is sending markets into panic. Crude spiked to nearly $77 a barrel after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and Tehran’s retaliation threats. AAA warns drivers to brace for more volatility if tensions escalate.

🚨🇮🇷 STRAIT OF HORMUZ CHAOS: TANKERS PLAY HIGH-STAKES GAME OF CHICKEN 3 tankers just suddenly turned away from the Strait of Hormuz - one of the world’s most vital oil routes - mid-transit, clearly spooked by something. At the same time, 3 other tankers that had previously diverted are now sailing back in, like nothing’s changed. The strait handles 20% of global oil - and right now it’s a high-stakes shuffle, not a stable shipping lane. MarineTraffic data shows these aren’t random zigzags - they’re direct responses to rising tension as Iran and Israel escalate and the U.S. flexes harder. 1 miscalculation and you’re looking at sky-high insurance rates, delayed cargo, or a flashpoint that ignites the region.
