Iran President Pezeshkian said the effectiveness of U.S.-Iran negotiations depends on full commitment to and concrete implementation of agreed obligations and will be measured by actual compliance; remarks outside the agreement text do not help advance talks. The U.S. and Iran held a first round of talks in Switzerland and agreed to seek a final deal within 60 days. On June 22, after the round, U.S. President Trump at the White House warned he would act if Iran fails to comply.

HEZBOLLAH said the Israel Defense Forces targeted civilians in attacks in southern Lebanon.

US equity futures fell after a selloff in large tech names spilled into Asian AI-related shares, while investors awaited further progress in US‑Iran talks. Asia tech subindexes reversed an eight-day rally; Japanese and South Korean markets retreated and South Korean stocks dropped nearly 10%.
