This is the Winrad Broadcasting Service daily news bulletin for Wednesday, June the twenty-fourth, 2026 — Day 117 of the war with Iran. The war is over, the documents say. The fighting, in places, continues. And the Senate has, for the first time, voted to bring the troops home.
Today's report:
Followed by "From the Homefront" — Dorothy's Chicken Salad Three Ways. Poached chicken with mayonnaise, celery, red grapes, toasted almonds, fresh tarragon. Served on butter lettuce, in a sandwich, or stuffed in a summer tomato in the proper hotel dining-room style. "The kind of supper that quietly says: we are doing all right."

This is the Winrad Broadcasting Service daily news bulletin for Monday, June the twenty-second, 2026 — Day 115 of the war with Iran. First round of Burgenstock implementation talks ends with a road map for peace.
Today's report:
Burgenstock implementation talks ENDED Sunday evening
Pakistani and Qatari mediators joint statement: discussions in "positive and constructive atmosphere"
TWO PRACTICAL RESULTS EMERGED:
LINE OF COMMUNICATION between Iranian and American military and naval officials to prevent incidents in Strait of Hormuz during 60-day implementation
DE-CONFLICTION CELL for Lebanon — US + Iran + Qatar + Pakistan facilitated body, intended to ensure end of military operations
Iranian FM Araghchi: "First real test will be the effectiveness of that effort"
Talks NEARLY DERAILED by Trump's TRUTH SOCIAL THREAT during negotiations Sunday:
"Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don't, we'll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!"
Trump (Fox News Sunday during talks): Could "take control of Strait of Hormuz, impose a tariff on passage and claim part of the oil moving through it"
GHALIBAF (X response): "Don't they think to themselves that if their threats had any effect, they wouldn't have reached the point of despair today? We don't count on the threats of the Americans"
Ghalibaf: "They had better watch their words carefully. Our armed forces are ready to give them a response in a different way"
Ebrahim Rezaei (Iran parliament National Security spokesman): "Time for empty threats had passed. If US had been able to take control of Hormuz, it would have done so during the war"
Iranian Foreign Ministry filed formal protest with Americans
Iranian delegation declined to be photographed with US/Pakistan/Qatar (Margaret Brennan, CBS)
Iran's Fars news agency: Trump's threat HALTED negotiations
Iranian state broadcaster: Unclear whether talks would continue or be stopped
Back-channel dialogues by Pakistan/Qatar brought parties back to the table
Road map agreed Sunday night
MIDDLE EASTERN OFFICIAL (CBS): Witkoff and Kushner "out of sync with Rubio" — Rubio had been working to keep US-Iran war and Israel-Hezbollah conflict diplomatically separate; first article of MOU bypassed that effort; Israeli officials saw Lebanon inclusion as concession to Iran by Trump's envoys
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC, Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman): "We're going to run it... try to get Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, end the Arab-Israeli conflict in 2026. And if Iran continues to attack Israel and Lebanon, the new policy will be, we'll hit Iran"
Israeli military raids killed AT LEAST 7 in Lebanon Sunday including child and 2 elderly people (Lebanese state media)
IDF: "Dozens" of Hezbollah killed in strikes; called "response to repeated, ongoing, and blatant violations of the ceasefire"
36 IDF soldiers now killed since early March
Lebanon 4,000+ killed, 11,000 wounded
Hezbollah's Qassem still silent (8 days)
Hezbollah spokesperson: Will respect ceasefire but defend itself
IAEA Grossi (X): Met Swiss FM Cassis. "At this critical moment, it's important to give diplomacy every opportunity to succeed"
Markets: Asian shares mixed, US futures fall; US crude up nearly 3% to $78.70; Brent up over 1% to $81.70
US military says strait open; Iran says closed; line of communication may resolve discrepancy
AP via Britannica: "Congress wonders as the Iran war draws to a close: Was it worth it?"
Vance (opening remarks): Trump empowered delegation to "find a diplomatic resolution to a host of issues"
Vance: "I feel great about where we are in Lebanon"
Death toll: Iran ~3,468 (incl 376 children); Lebanon 4,000+ killed, 11,000 wounded; Israel 41+ (36 soldiers since March); US 13 KIA, 365 wounded; 3 Indian sailors
