Iran’s Lithium and Antimony Discoveries Stir Hype and Skepticism

Iran finds lithium and antimoney

This week, the mining sector made headlines after officials confirmed Iran’s lithium and antimony discoveries across multiple provinces. The Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO) announced it had discovered 7,000 metric tons of antimony after a decade of exploration.

The largest deposit lies in Sistan and Balochistan and could supply 10% of global antimony demand. Antimony is vital in producing flame retardants, solar panels, and military hardware, making these findings strategically important.

As global demand increases and Chinese exports tighten, antimony prices are climbing, with projections hiring $30,000 per metric ton. Meanwhile, reports of high lithium concentrations in Qom Salt Lake and Semnan Province circulated after Iran’s Ministry of Industries, Mines, and Commerce published new data.

Man wrongfully deported to El Salvador must be returned to US, court rules

Man wrongfully seant to El Salnedvador must be retur

An appeals court has ordered the Trump administration to return a man wrongfully deported to El Salvador to the US and to explain how it is complying in a ruling apparently designed to break a pattern of apparent government defiance of judicial orders.

The US court of appeals for the second circuit in New York also required the government to provide a declaration of the current whereabouts and custodial status of Jordin Melgar-Salmeron, who was deported on 7 May less than half an hour after the court had expressly barred his removal.

Tuesday’s order seemed intended to forestall a repeat of the long saga surrounding the case of Kilmar Ábrego García, who was deported to his native El Salvador in March, in violation of a 2019 immigration court order preventing his repatriation there on grounds of possible persecution.

Judge blocks Trump from withholding EV charger infrastructure funds

electric vehicle charger

A federal judge on Tuesday issued a ruling blocking the Trump administration from withholding funds for electric vehicle charger infrastructure from 14 states.

U.S. District Judge Tana Lin said the government overstepped their Constitutional authority by refusing to disperse dollars attached to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed by former President Biden.

The initiative was created to help rid EV drivers of range anxiety, which is defined as the unease experienced by electric vehicle (“EV”) drivers when they are unsure where the next charging station might be and whether their car’s battery has sufficient charge to get them there.

“Congress appropriated $5 billion to fund a National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (“NEVI”) Formula Program, the purpose of which was—and still is— ‘to strategically deploy electric vehicle charging infrastructure and to establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability,’” Lim’s order.

Early intel assessment says Iran's nuclear program was only set back 'a few months'

Iran set back a few months

A U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly has confirmed early intelligence assessments by the Defense Intelligence Agency saying that the massive U.S. air campaign against three Iran nuclear sites on Saturday night did not "obliterate" Iran's nuclear enrichment program as President Trump claimed but instead set it back "a few months."

CNN first published news of the DIA assessment.

The official told NPR that military officials provided an early assessment of the intel to select senators — including Virginia's Mark Warner, the leading Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

"I have a whole lot of questions for this administration," Warner told All Things Considered. "What are the next steps? How do we make sure that there's not Iran racing now to a dirty bomb? These are questions that we and frankly, the American people, deserve answers to."

Trump tensions with Israel, Netanyahu rise to the surface

Trump v NetnyahuaPresident Trump’s public outburst Tuesday against Israel and Iran to stop shooting and adopt a ceasefire signaled he isn’t afraid to confront Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when it comes to protecting his efforts to present himself as a peace and dealmaker.

Trump’s profane-laced frustration that the U.S. ally Israel along with Iran should give up the fighting also sent a signal to MAGA World that the president was not beholden to Netanyahu’s war aims.

President Trump’s public outburst Tuesday against Israel and Iran to stop shooting and adopt a ceasefire signaled he isn’t afraid to confront Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when it comes to protecting his efforts to present himself as a peace and dealmaker.

Trump’s profane-laced frustration that the U.S. ally Israel along with Iran should give up the fighting also sent a signal to MAGA World that the president was not beholden to Netanyahu’s war aims.

After backing off earlier threats that the U.S. could support regime change in Iran, Trump even raised the possibility of trade with Tehran and seeing the country’s oil on the markets.

“What is going on today is that the president’s putting pressure on Israel, he wants to maintain the ceasefire, he knows that any further fighting would not only call into question his diplomacy, but would risk involving America in a deeper, longer-term military involvement in the region,” said Michael Oren, the former Israeli ambassador to the U.S.

FBI sharpens focus on counter-terrorism after Iran strikes

FBI returns to work on counter terrorism

Officials across the US are on heightened alert after the US bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran.

There is no specific threat but in recent days, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have spoken with governors and law enforcement agencies across the country about the heightened threat environment.

The FBI has also shifted some of its agents, who have been helping on immigration-related cases, back to counter-terrorism efforts, sources told the BBC's US partner CBS.

Within two days of the Iranian strikes, US immigration officials arrested 11 Iranian citizens in the US, including men with alleged ties to Iran's military and paramilitary proxy groups.

Former Teen Idol Bobby Sherman Dies At 81

Bobby Sherman dies at 81

Bobby Sherman, whose winsome smile and fashionable shaggy mop top helped make him into a teen idol in the 1960s and ’70s with bubblegum pop hits like “Little Woman” and “Julie, Do Ya Love Me,” has died. He was 81.

His wife, Brigitte Poublon, announced the death Tuesday and family friend John Stamos posted her message on Instagram: “Bobby left this world holding my hand — just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace.” Sherman revealed he had Stage 4 cancer earlier this year.

Sherman was a squeaky-clean regular on the covers of Tiger Beat and Sixteen magazines, often with hair over his eyes and a choker on his neck. His face was printed on lunchboxes, cereal boxes and posters that hung on the bedroom walls of his adoring fans. He landed at No. 8 in TV Guide’s list of “TV’s 25 Greatest Teen Idols.”

He was part of a lineage of teen heartthrobs who emerged as mass-market, youth-oriented magazines and TV took off, connecting fresh-scrubbed Ricky Nelson in the 1950s to David Cassidy in the ’60s, all the way to Justin Bieber in the 2000s.

  • EU may take action against Israel if conditions in Gaza do not improve

    Kaja Kallas

    The EU may take action to increase pressure on Israel unless there are “concrete” improvements for the inhabitants of Gaza, its foreign policy chief has said.

    After meeting the bloc’s foreign ministers in Brussels, Kaja Kallas said it was “very clear” that Israel had breached its human rights commitments in Gaza and the West Bank.

    She said if the situation for Palestinians did not improve, the EU could discuss “further measures and come back t\\]]s in July”.

    But Kallas declined to spell out details: “The concrete question is what then we [the EU] are able to agree?

    “But right now, the most important thing is to improve the situation on the ground, improve the lives of people in Palestine and stop the suffering and also human toll that we see there every day.”

    TVNL Comment: How much more suffering must Palestinians endure to get the EU to acknowledge the devastation that Gazans experience every day?  This 'warning' is shameful.
