ADAM STEPHENS

Hello Everyone, 

I'm not how many of you were listening to Frank26 tonight. This is a sum up. I was listening and watching live. This is a very important element and based on what we know is happening behind the scenes... this rings of true. 

We do know from TNT... and also by other sources I have that yes, multiple countries are very pissed that the RV didn't happen yet. There have been issues with IMF and BIS in Zurich. 

The CBI did in fact announce that they would release the new rate if the IMF did not allow everything to roll out. 

They absolutely should have. 

The HR Res 1, the BBB is at the Senate Desk. It was read 2 times today. It is set for debate starting at 2pm EST on Saturday. You can watch on CSPAN2 if you are so inclined. 

We are watching the timing closely and events as they happen.

PUK: Oil deal key to resolving salary crisis

 Shafaq News – Al-Sulaymaniyah

On Sunday, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) voiced support for any workable solution to resolve the Kurdistan Region’s stalled May salaries, calling the wage crisis “one of the worst” in its history.

At a press conference, Ziyad Jabbar from the PUK Political Bureau blamed the impasse on the absence of a transparent revenue-sharing system between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Iraq’s federal authorities, arguing that no lasting resolution is possible without a binding oil agreement with Baghdad.

“Citizens have now gone two months without pay, creating a suffocating crisis that is disrupting daily life,” Jabbar warned, urging all parties to set aside “narrow political interests” and agree on a plan that protects employee rights.

The dispute deepened after Baghdad conditioned salary transfers on the KRG fully delivering its oil to SOMO and accepting tighter controls on non-oil revenues. The KRG countered that these terms exceed prior commitments. As a temporary measure, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani approved a federal loan to cover May wages, pending further resolution.

Iran denies Trump's meeting claims

 Shafaq News - Tehran

On Sunday, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Political Deputy to the Iranian Foreign Minister, dismissed US President Donald Trump’s recent claim that talks between Washington and Tehran are scheduled for next week, noting that no meeting has been arranged with American officials.

Addressing the Iranian parliamentary Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy, Takht-Ravanchi questioned the reliability of the United States in any future negotiations, citing growing public anger over thekilling of civilians, military personnel, and scientists. 

During the same session, Committee spokesperson Ebrahim Rezaei acknowledged Iran’s continued commitment to diplomacy but pointed to a broader crisis of confidence among the public. “What guarantee exists that the Americans won’t reverse course again?” he asked, referring to past disruptions in negotiations.

The comments come amid reports in US media that White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to visit the region in the coming days for meetings with Iranian officials. Discussions are expected to focus on the possibility of halting uranium enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt further confirmed that contact with Iranian counterparts remains ongoing, though clarified that no talks are currently scheduled on the nuclear file.

Notably, a planned sixth round of negotiations, initially set for June 15 in Oman, was cancelled following Israel’s surprise strike on Iran on June 13, which has evolved into one of the most dangerous escalations between the two countries in years.
