He pointed out that by mid-June 2026, Iran will be geopolitically exponentially stronger than it was on the day the war broke out (February 28th), and has altered the regional balance during the war. Pincus warned that Iran has "upended the strategic balance," not only attacking the Arab Gulf states but also driving a wedge between Israel and the United States. He stated that how the post-war balance of power between Israel and Iran will develop remains to be seen, but "it will certainly be different from what it was in February, and less favorable to Israel than before."On June 15, the Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the Israeli regimes terrorist act of military aggression against a residential area in the southern suburbs of Beirut this afternoon (June 14). The attack has resulted in casualties among Lebanese citizens. The Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that this terrorist crime not only blatantly violated Lebanons national sovereignty and territorial integrity but also seriously contravened the ceasefire understanding reached between Iran and the United States on April 8. Iran reiterated that the US government bears direct responsibility for the Israeli regimes crimes and repeated violations of the ceasefire, and emphasized that it will take all necessary measures to exercise its legitimate right to self-defense. Iran warned that the dangerous consequences of the Israeli regimes frivolous actions on regional peace and security should be borne by the United States and the Israeli regime.Iranian Parliament Speaker: The enemy can never defeat any resistance front alone.

Oil prices decrease as recessionary worries weigh on demand projections

Oil prices fell on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous session, as economic data from China, the world's largest oil importer, fueled fresh concerns about an impending global recession that might affect energy consumption.


Brent crude futures declined 90 cents, or 1%, to $94.20 a barrel at 00:03 GMT. Futures for WTI crude fell 81 cents, or 0.9%, to $88.60 a barrel.


In the previous trading session, oil futures dropped by roughly 3 percent.


As a result of China's dismal economic data, prices dropped. Beijing's zero-COVID policy and the property crisis strangled factory and retail activity in July, pushing the central bank to reduce lending rates to stimulate demand.


After Beijing awarded more quotas in June and July, researchers and traders predict that China's exports of fuel products will approach their highest level of the year in August. In 2022, however, expanded limitations are anticipated to limit shipments to seven-year lows.


According to a report released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Monday, total output from the major U.S. shale oil basins in September will approach 9,049 million barrels per day, the highest level since March 2020.

Additionally, investors observed efforts to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement. According to analysts, if Iran and the United States accept the European Union's offer to eliminate limitations on Iranian oil exports, the oil supply might expand.


According to an EU official, Iran responded on Monday to the EU's "final" draft language to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal. The official did not comment on Iran's response. The Iranian foreign minister encouraged the United States to be flexible in order to overcome three unresolved issues.
