'The Looming Threat Of A Nuclear Iran'
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has rejected the latest nuclear deal proposed by the United States. He stated that Iran will continue to enrich uranium, arguing that doing otherwise contradicts the nation's spirit of self-reliance. While Iran claims that its enriched uranium is intended for energy production, there are widespread concerns that it may be moving toward weapons-grade levels. FOX News Contributor and former CIA Clandestine Officer Daniel Hoffman joins to provide insight into the situation.
Fox News contributor and U.S. Marine veteran Joey Jones joins the FOX News Rundown as a special guest host and speaks with former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb about his experience in law enforcement and how he used social media to help create a strong bond between his police department and the community. Lamb also shares the toll that wearing a uniform takes on an officer and their family, and he continues to help first responders cope with the stresses of their job.

AI-generated video falsely shared as aftermath of Iran's attack on Israel
"This footage is not recorded in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, or Syria, but in Tel Aviv, Israel, showing the destruction of some buildings in the city after an Iranian hypersonic missile attack," says the Indonesian-language caption of a video on X on June 15, 2025. Arabic-language text in the video's top-right corner reads, "Tel Aviv". The 16-second video shows toppled buildings and damaged structures. Iran hit Israel with waves of drone and missile strikes overnight, killing three people and wounding dozens (archived link). The attack came after Israel's massive strikes on June 13, which hit nuclear and military facilities, and killed top commanders, nuclear scientists and dozens of civilians. The longtime foes have continued to trade deadly fire in their most intense confrontation in history, fuelling fears of a drawn-out conflict that could engulf the Middle East (archived link). Iran's health ministry said at least 224 people have been killed and more than 1,200 wounded, while Israel's prime minister's office said at least 24 people have been killed and 592 others injured. The same video and claim have circulated on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram. It has also been shared in other languages including Thai, English, Bengali, Arabic and Spanish. However, a reverse image search of the keyframes revealed the video was made using Google's AI tools. Another search found the clip was posted in an Instagram post on May 28, days before Iran's attack on Israel, alongside hashtags such as #southlebanon (archived link). The account has shared other AI-generated videos, and its profile reads "AI resistance". Screenshot of the 3amelyon's Instagram account, taken on June 20, 2025 AFP has debunked other misinformation related to the Israel-Iran conflict here.

The week in stocks: Empire, Algoma Steel, and why the case for the trade in war 'keeps getting stronger'
Every weekend, the Financial Post breaks down the most interesting developments in this week's world of investing, from top performers to surprising analyst calls and stocks you should have on your radar. Here's this week's edition. BMO Capital Markets raised its price target for Empire Co. Ltd. (EMP/A) after the grocery chain, which owns such brands as Sobeys, IGA, FreshCo, Foodland and Farm Boy, reported earnings that beat analyst estimates. Earnings per share came in at 74 cents for the quarter ending May 3, beating analysts' estimate of 71 cents. Empire's profits increased 16.1 per cent to $173 million from $149 million in the same quarter a year ago. Tamy Chen, a consumer analyst at BMO, raised her price target to $55 from $53 in late May. 'We are comfortable with our continued assumption for annual gross margin expansion of 20 basis points,' she said in a note. 'For now, we are hesitant to assume further sequential acceleration in same-store sales.' Chen said she would like to see continued improvement in operating costs because that will help drive EPS growth. John Zamparo, an analyst at the Bank of Nova Scotia, raised his target to $62 from $49, while Mark Petrie at CIBC Capital Markets raised his to $59 from $55. The case for the defence trade 'keeps getting stronger' as Israel and Iran continue to trade fire, David Rosenberg, head of Rosenberg Research & Associates Inc., said in a note this week, but that's not the only tailwind. 'Military budgets are expanding sharply worldwide, and industry backlogs and production schedules are in acceleration mode,' he said. For example, the Pentagon's budget is just shy of US$1 trillion, and global military spending last year rose nearly 10 per cent to more than US$2.7 trillion as 36 countries were embroiled in armed conflict. The S&P 500's aerospace and defence index is up almost 30 per cent over the last year. Its members include: General Electric Co. (GE) RTX Corp. (RTX) Boeing Co. (BA) Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) TransDigm Group Inc. (TDG) General Dynamics Corp. (GD) Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) Axon Enterprise Inc. (AXON) L3 Harris Technologies Inc. (LHX) Textron Inc. (TXT) Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (HII) 'I wish we lived in a peaceful world where we didn't feel compelled to have this top the list of our highest-conviction ideas, but these are the cards we have been dealt, and our job is to help clients make money in a prudent fashion,' Rosenberg said. He said investors who had already committed to the defence sector are reaping the rewards of United States President Donald Trump pushing North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members to meet their target of spending two per cent of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defence. NATO is now discussing raising that target to five per cent of GDP. But Rosenberg said the aerospace and defence trade isn't just about hardware. 'You can't just talk about defence today by discussing F-35 jets and missiles; this is a sector inextricably linked to the burgeoning demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions,' he said. Rosenberg said the defence file has transformed from a cyclical bet into a 'structural growth story' akin to major economic shifts, including the rise of technology in the 1990s and the commodities supercycle of the 2000s. Algoma Steel Group Inc. (ASTL) got a boost this week when the federal government announced new measures to help protect Canada's steel industry. 'We believe the newly announced government measures to support the Canadian steel industry are a positive development for Algoma,' James McGarragle, an equity analyst at Royal Bank of Canada, said in a note. Algoma is down 33 per cent this year as Trump's tariff war has hit the manufacturer based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum exports currently sit at 50 per cent after rising earlier this month from an initially implemented 25 per cent levy. The steps Ottawa has taken to assist the industry help, but McGarragle said the major 'catalyst' for the sector and Algoma is a resolution to the trade dispute with the U.S.. RBC has a price target of $8 for Algoma, as does BMO Capital Markets. Analysts at Stifel Canada and Cormark Securities Inc. have price targets of $13 and $16, respectively. Algoma is currently trading at $9.43.

Analyst close to Iranian regime says time for negotiation over, missiles will do the talking

"The language of talks would be missiles," said the Iranian insider.
