The Winrad Broadcasting Service Evening News BulletinAfter the heaviest forty-eight hours of fire since the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding was signed, the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran have agreed to stand down. A senior U.S. official confirmed to ABC News that both sides will halt attacks and vessels will move freely through the Strait of Hormuz. Technical talks resume tomorrow in Doha. But the trilateral framework signed Friday in Washington is already under strain: Israel destroyed a 200-meter Hezbollah tunnel in Majdal Zoun on Sunday, and Hezbollah today declared its right to defend itself.

This is the Winrad Broadcasting Service daily news bulletin for Friday, June the twenty-sixth, 2026 — Day 119 of the war with Iran. The agreement is signed. The disagreements about what was agreed are still, on every front, the principal news.

Today's report:

• TRUMP (Rose Garden Thursday with farmers): "We have another one, a new market coming up, and that's called the lovely country of Iran... Iran is having a hard time with food, and we're going to be taking some of their money... buying wheat, soybeans, and corn — a lot of it"
• GHALIBAF (X, Thursday): "America falsely claims our unfrozen assets will buy their agriculture. The only crop we're harvesting is what you planted: decades of mistrust... the US only exports GMO soybeans, broken promises and trash talks"
• Iran FM Baghaei: Any purchases on "prices and quality" NOT Washington terms; released MOU text has no agricultural provision
• HEZBOLLAH CHIEF QASSEM (Ashura address Friday, Beirut): MOU is "official declaration of the defeat of America and Israel"
• Qassem: "We have shattered the Israeli-American project and entered a new phase"; Israel "must leave unconditionally"; Hezbollah accepts "no normalization, no gains for Israel, no partial presence on Lebanese soil"
• 4 IDF SOLDIERS WOUNDED overnight Thursday Beit Yahoun, southern Lebanon — Hezbollah operative threw grenade; Israeli forces killed operative; IDF struck Hezbollah sites
• Separate truck accident: 1 Israeli reservist killed, 1 soldier injured
• ISRAEL AIRSTRIKE near Nabatieh during Ashura — smoke visible during commemorations

• IRAN DEPUTY FM GHARIBABADI (Dubai): Safe Hormuz passage "cannot be guaranteed without coordination with Tehran"; US military in Gulf "source of regional insecurity"
• ISRAEL-LEBANON TALKS EXTENDED to 4th day Friday at State Department; 3rd day "more progress" but gaps remain on partial IDF withdrawal
• Israeli source: what US calls withdrawal "could barely be called a withdrawal" — IDF keeping six-mile buffer, only pulling from small "pilot zones"
• Both sides DENY US claim IDF has withdrawn anywhere; Aoun backs French-Italian multinational force to succeed UNIFIL
• Hormuz traffic continues recovery; oil near pre-war lows: WTI ~$70, Brent ~$73
• Death toll: Iran ~3,468 (376 children); Lebanon 4,000+ killed, 11,000 wounded; Israel 44+; US 13 KIA, 365 wounded; 3 Indian sailors
