This is CNBC’S live blog about the conflict in the Middle East.U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that a ceasefire was now in effect, soon after Iranian state-linked media announced Tehran had fired its “last round” of missiles at Israel.“THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social around 1:00 a.m. stateside.Iran had launched a fresh barrage of missiles at Israel as the ceasefire deadline announced by Trump neared.A spate of questions linger over the viability of a ceasefire, Iran and Israel’s participation, the potential resumption of nuclear talks between the West and Tehran, and the ultimate fate of Iran’s supplies of enriched uranium.The ceasefire announcement takes place after an apparent intensification of hostilities, with Iran on Monday carrying out retaliatory missile strikes at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Trump thanked Tehran for notice of the offensive.U.S. stock market indexes closed higher Monday on optimism that Iran’s retaliation for U.S. bombings of its nuclear facilities would be limited to the missile attack. Oil prices fell amid dwindling concerns that Iran could proceed with closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transport route.CNBC reporters are covering the Middle East conflict on air and online, reporting from Washington, D.C., London, Dubai, San Francisco and Englewood Cliffs, N.J, and Singapore.Ceasefire has begun, Iran’s Press TV saysThe Iran-Israel ceasefire has come into effect, Iranian state media outlet Press TV said on social media, following a spate of Iranian strikes that have stoked confusion over Tehran’s willingness to participate in the agreement. “Ceasefire begins following four waves of Iranian attacks on Israeli-occupied territoreis,” the media channel said in an X update. As of five hours ago — in comments preceding U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that the detente had taken effect — Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi had refuted the existence of a formal arrangement, while allowing for the easing of hostilities. “As of now, there is NO “agreement” on any ceasefire or cessation of military operation,” he said at the time. “However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards.”— Ruxandra IordacheIsrael confirms agreement to ceasefireIsrael has accepted a ceasefire with long-time rival Iran in U.S.-brokered diplomacy, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Tuesday. “In light of achieving the objectives of the operation, and in full coordination with President Trump, Israel has agreed to the president’s proposal for a bilateral ceasefire,” Netanyahu’s office said, in a statement procured by NBC News. “Israel will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire. Israeli citizens must continue to strictly adhere to the Home Front Command’s instructions until full compliance with the ceasefire is confirmed.” Questions had lingered whether the Jewish state and Tehran would implement the truce, announced earlier by close U.S. ally Washington. — Ruxandra IordacheTrump says ceasefire ‘is in effect,’ urging not to violate itU.S. President Donald Trump said in a social media post Tuesday that the ceasefire was “in effect,” urging that it should not be violated.“THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT.

And so DHS recently released an advisory along with CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, around private sector corporations and government entities to be on high alert right now for these cyber attacks.”Kennedy said that Iran could inflict “some pretty substantial damage to the United States, specifically in manufacturing, supply chain, retail, critical infrastructure, things that can disrupt our normal day life that cause pain here in the U.S., and really not be seen as crossing that red line of loss of life or direct military force.”— Riya BhattacharjeeKhamenei: Iran ‘isn’t a nation that surrenders’Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a defiant-sounding statement shortly after Trump celebrated the bloodless outcome of Tehran’s retaliatory strike on a U.S. military base in Qatar.“Those who know the Iranian people and their history know that the Iranian nation isn’t a nation that surrenders,” Khamenei wrote on X.The post conveyed a marked contrast in tone from Trump’s latest social media message, an all-caps declaration suggesting that the latest developments in the Middle East have established world peace. — Kevin BreuningerU.S. Embassy in Sweden warns Iran may be ‘pressuring’ local gangs ‘to carry out attacks’Courtesy: U.S. Embassy in SwedenU.S. Embassy in Stockholm Sweden.The U.S. Embassy in Sweden is warning Americans to “exercise increased caution,” because Iran “may be pressuring local criminal gangs, including the Foxtrot Network, to carry out attacks in Sweden against U.S. and Israeli interests.”The embassy encourages Americans living in Sweden to “maintain awareness of their surroundings, particularly near the U.S. Embassy,” per an advisory.The Foxtrot Network is a gang in Sweden and “prominent drug trafficking organization,” according to the State Department, which sanctioned the group in March.The State Department said at the time that Iran had “leveraged the Foxtrot Network to carry out attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets in Europe, including the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, in January 2024.”— Erin DohertyMarkets rally, oil falls after attackBrendan McDermid | ReutersTraders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., June 23, 2025.

President Donald Trump proposed a tax break on car loan interest while on the campaign trail last year. House and Senate Republicans have pitched a $10,000 tax deduction on auto loan interest as part of the so-called “one big beautiful bill” being debated in Washington. Households would likely need to buy luxury cars that cost $130,000 or more to get the maximum benefit, one economist said. Models with such price tags include “exotic” brands like Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Bentley, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, Land Rover, Cadillac, Maserati, Lotus or Mercedes-Benz, the economist said.Republicans are trying to make good on President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to give Americans a tax break on their car loan interest. However, as structured, most households wouldn’t get a substantial financial benefit, economists said.House and Senate Republicans proposed giving drivers a tax deduction of up to $10,000 on annual interest for new auto loans in their so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The tax break would be temporary, ending after 2028.But few drivers pay that much annual interest, said Jonathan Smoke, chief economist at Cox Automotive, an auto market research firm.It’s “pretty rare,” he said.Auto loans don’t have annual interest charges of $10,000 or more outside of large loans on “exotic” vehicles, Smoke said.A ‘laundry list of exotic names’How large would the loan have to be?It would take a loan of roughly $112,000 to use up the full $10,000 deduction in the first year of car ownership, Smoke said.Only about 1% of new auto loans are this big, according to Cox Automotive data.Cars most likely to see loans of that magnitude include a “laundry list of exotic names” like Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Bentley, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, Land Rover, Cadillac, Maserati, Lotus and Mercedes-Benz, Smoke said.Smoke’s analysis assumes drivers use the most popular loan length, 72 months at the current new loan average of around 9.5%. It includes a 10% down payment and various fees like taxes and registration.The example implies a vehicle purchase price of about $130,000, he said.Vehicles with an average purchase price near this level include a Porsche Panamera or Cadillac Escalade, he said. Monthly car payments under those loan terms would likely be more than $2,000, Smoke said.More from Personal Finance:The salary Americans say they need to live comfortablyWhy electricity prices are surging for U.S. householdsHouse, Senate tax bills both end many clean energy creditsHouse Republicans included the tax break on auto loan interest in a massive domestic policy bill, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which lawmakers narrowly passed along party lines in May. The Senate may vote on a similar measure as soon as this week.In practice, few if any households would likely claim the full benefit due to an income limitation, experts said.Both versions of the legislation reduce the value of the car loan interest tax deduction once an individual’s annual income exceeds $100,000, or $200,000 for married couples filing a joint tax return. Households below those thresholds may qualify for the full tax benefit, but are unlikely to buy an expensive enough car to do so, economists said.Those drivers who might qualify to take on a six-figure car loan are unlikely to maximize the tax break, either. Taxpayers don’t get a financial benefit once income exceeds $150,000 (or $250,000 for married couples), according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a left-leaning think tank.Qualifying cars must also receive final assembly in the U.S., according to current legislative text, potentially further limiting the potential roster of vehicles.The average car loan and interest chargesSpencer Platt | Getty Images News | Getty ImagesPeople walk by a Ferrari dealership in New York City.The average car loan so far in 2025 is about $43,000, according to Cox Automotive data.Under Republicans’ tax plan, the average buyer would get a tax deduction of about $3,000 in the first year of a six-year loan (and a roughly $2,000 average annual deduction over the loan’s life), Smoke said.However, based on the way tax deductions work, this wouldn’t mean car buyers get $3,000 in their pocket the first year.That $3,000 would be deducted from the buyer’s taxable income.“The math basically says you’re talking about [financial] benefit of $500 or less in year one,” and a declining value in subsequent years, Smoke said. That’s less than the average monthly payment on a new loan, he said.
Two Republican senators introduced principles for a bill meant to provide a legal framework for digital assets. Legislation would define when crypto will be overseen by the SEC, rather than the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Movement on crypto bills remains uncertain as members of the House and Senate grapple with different versions.Two Republican senators are planning to debut a framework on Tuesday for a major bill that would set the rules of the road for digital assets.According to the framework, being introduced by Senate Banking Chairman Tim Scott of South Carolina and Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, who heads the panel’s digital assets committee, the future bill will define when crypto is a commodity or a security, allow crypto exchanges to register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and reduce the SEC’s regulation of digital currencies.Also signing on are Sens. Thom Tillis, R-NC, and Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn.Those pushing the legislation say the proposed bill would also contain a “small, common-sense package of measures directed at preventing money laundering and sanctions evasion.”“These principles will serve as an important baseline for negotiations on this bill,” Scott told CNBC in a statement. “I’m hopeful my colleagues will put politics aside and provide long-overdue clarity for digital asset regulation.”Scott is looking to build off the bipartisan momentum around crypto on display last week, when a bill on stablecoins passed the Senate. Nearly all Republicans were joined by 18 Democrats in supporting the bill.Taking to the Senate floor after the vote, Lummis said the bill is “only the first step,” and she called on lawmakers to finish the more complex market structure bill this year.A House version of the market structure legislation was approved by two committees this month – the Financial Services Committee, which oversees the SEC, and Agriculture Committee, which oversees the CFTC.While President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that the House should move “LIGHTNING FAST” on the Senate’s stablecoin bill, House Financial Services Chairman French Hill, R-Ark., said at an event that he wants stablecoin and market structure bills to move together. He avoided answering questions about whether the House would take up the Senate’s differing stablecoin bill.The Senate Banking Committee’s subcommittee on digital assets will hold a hearing on the forthcoming bill at 3 p.m. ET.WATCH: Circle, Coinbase shares rise after Senate passes stablecoin legislation

When the mercury rises to new heights, get somewhere cooler because your life may depend on it. A potentially deadly heatwave is currently spilling humidity and searing heat across vast swaths of the United States, sending temperatures skyrocketing to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit from Minnesota to New York City, according to The New York Times.

For bride-to-be Morgan Irons, her bachelorette party started out as a picture-perfect escape on the open water, but it quickly became a personal tribute to the 50th anniversary of “Jaws” as she came face-to-face with her deepest fear.“Any type of open water, I just am very fearful,” Irons said.To celebrate, Irons’ future sister-in-law, Colby Taylor, planned a surprise bachelorette cruise around the picturesque Isle of Shoals, promising a relaxing day of whale watching.“I’ve never seen a shark. My dad’s been a lobsterman his whole life, I’ve always been on the boat, I’ve never seen a shark in these waters, you have nothing to be worried about,” Taylor recalled assuring her.That assurance quickly evaporated, according to RJ Lincoln, the ship’s first mate.“All the gals are out back having a fun time, and all of the sudden, we hear Colby scream,” Lincoln said.“Colby goes, ‘I see a fin!’ And we all look and everybody’s like, ‘Oh, no, that’s a bird, that’s a sunfish.’ And she’s like, ‘No, that’s a fin!’ And my heart starts racing,” Irons said.The bride’s last sail before the veil quickly evoked images of the iconic 1975 movie.“We were quoting ‘Jaws’ going out into the ocean, so maybe we manifested the sharks? I’m not sure we meant to,” Taylor said.As Taylor captured the sharks on camera, Irons sought refuge at the back of the boat. The group, about 15 miles offshore, ultimately spotted not one, but two sharks.“We looked down and then this monstrosity, it looked prehistoric, like a dinosaur coming out from underneath. It was just this massive, massive body,” Taylor said.The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (AWSC) confirmed they were basking sharks, a species known to migrate to these waters around this time of year. As the second-largest shark species, outgrown only by the whale shark, they can reach lengths of up to 40 feet, though most adults average between 20 and 30 feet. Their immense size often leads to them being mistaken for great white sharks, particularly in Massachusetts waters.However, these gentle giants are filter-feeders and harmless to humans, according to the AWSC. They’re commonly seen swimming near the surface with their dorsal fin protruding, mouths wide open as they filter plankton using bristle-like gill rakers.RJ Lincoln, despite his extensive time on the water, still found the sighting remarkable.“To be honest, that’s the biggest basking shark I’ve ever seen. It was like 25 or 30 feet,” Lincoln said.“It was the topic of conversation for the rest of the night,” Taylor said.“Definitely a day I will never forget. That is for sure,” Irons added.More on the 50th anniversary of "Jaws"Martha's Vineyard7 hours ago‘Jaws' at 50: Recap of homecoming weekend on Martha's Vineyard for iconic filmMassachusetts21 hours agoHero's reception on Martha's Vineyard for actor Richard Dreyfuss on 50th anniversary of ‘Jaws'Martha's VineyardJun 20Uncovering hidden ‘Jaws' lore on the Vineyard — 50 years after movie's premiere

English county cricket might not scream ‘broadcast innovation’ at first glance. But as Will Strauss discovers, at Lancashire County Cricket Club, a quiet revolution is underway. Although an official County Championship was not established until 1890, county cricket has been played in England and Wales since the early 18th century. 1709 in fact.A ‘first-class’ professional competition run by the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board), it is contested by 18 clubs, representing 17 of the historic counties of England and one from Wales. They play each other in four-day-long league matches in the County Championship, and in both 50-overs-per-side ‘One-Day’, and 20-overs-per-side ‘T20’, knockout cups.While steeped in tradition, live county cricket coverage was, until recently, rudimentary at best. For non-broadcast matches, fans had to make do with single-camera streams and basic stats overlays.But things are changing.Lancashire County Cricket Club is among the clubs at the forefront of a transformation. Its official YouTube channel, LancsTV, delivers enhanced multi-camera live output, complete with replays, data, graphics, commentary, expert analysis, and fan engagement.“With digital technology, you don’t necessarily need all the skills like you used to have back in the day. Now you can ask ChatGPT and YouTube and get the answer pretty much straight away!”At the heart of the operation is Badger & Combes, a Manchester-based digital media company responsible for producing live match coverage, highlights, archive content, and more.“Our primary objective is to help Lancashire Cricket navigate the digital growth of their brand, and expose them to an audience that is adaptable and changing,” explains Badger & Combes founder and managing director Colin McKevitt (pictured below, left), who also serves as CIO of LancsTV.“Five years ago, Lancashire Cricket didn’t have a live stream on YouTube for county cricket. So this is new. They would never previously have had to think about broadcast rights and how to manage their brand in a digital space, and a digital growth strategy. They do now.”

Bowman Joins Race For Powell's Job, Supports July Rate Cut Fed governor Chris Waller may have thought he was a shoo-in for Powell's replacement (and the role of shadow Fed chair) when he said last week that, contrary to the Powell narrative and FOMC consensus, the Fed should cut as soon as July.Waller Puts In Bid For Next Fed Chair, Says Powell Should Cut "As Early As July" https://t.co/uiN1Umb49j— zerohedge (@zerohedge) June 20, 2025Well, not so fast.Recall late last summer, it was Fed vice chair Michelle Bowman who staked out a bid for Powell's replacement when she first dissented with the Fed's jumbo 50bps rate cut meant to ease Biden/Kamala's election, and second when she (correctly) lashed out at illegal immigrants as the source of "upward pressure on rents."First she dissents, now this. If Trump wins, she will be the next Fed chair. https://t.co/eKtX10huDO— zerohedge (@zerohedge) October 2, 2024Fast forward to this morning, when Bowman officially reminded the world that she is also in the running for Powell's replacement, when she echoed Waller in saying that she would favor an interest rate cut at the next policy meeting in July so long as inflation pressures stay muted (which is doing just that).With her speech delivered in Prague, Bowman became the second central banker in recent days to suggest that President Donald Trump’s tariffs are likely to have a temporary and muted impact on prices, thus paving the way for lower rates.“Should inflation pressures remain contained, I would support lowering the policy rate as soon as our next meeting in order to bring it closer to its neutral setting and to sustain a healthy labor market,” she said in prepared remarks. “In the meantime, I will continue to carefully monitor economic conditions as the Administration’s policies, the economy, and financial markets continue to evolve.”Trump has been pressuring the Fed to lower interest rates as a way to save financing costs on the nation’s ballooning national debt. However, the Federal Open Market Committee at its meeting last week voted to hold its key interest rate in a target between 4.25%-4.5%.For her part, Bowman said she supported the change in approach the post-meeting statement took noting that policy uncertainty has diminished and the focus is now tilting towards potential labor market weakness.Economists had worried that Trump’s tariffs would spike inflation, but measures have shown little if any impact so far. In fact, as we showed overnight, Trump has been spot on, and export prices for Japanese cars destined to the US have cratered as it is Japanese car makers that eat the tariff cost.well would you look at that: guess who is eating all those tariff costs (hint, it's not US consumers) pic.twitter.com/iwdKyeqTII— zerohedge (@zerohedge) June 22, 2025“I think it is likely that the impact of tariffs on inflation may take longer, be more delayed, and have a smaller effect than initially expected, especially because many firms frontloaded their stocks of inventories,” Bowman said. “As we think about the path forward, it is time to consider adjusting the policy rate.”Trump has said he thinks the Fed should lower by at least 2 percentage points. Bowman’s remarks did not mention how much she thinks the rate should be lowered, and Waller said there is no need for such dramatic cuts.The FOMC next meets July 29-30. Traders are assigning just a 23% probability to a move at the meeting, with a likelihood of about 77% that the Fed will cut in September, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch gauge measuring futures market pricing.Bowman's comments sent 2Y yields and the dollar tumblig...... and sent odds of a rate cut surging.Expect this to last the next war freakout sends oil - and inflation - expectations surging, and undoing all of the above.

Observations of Europa’s leading hemisphere reveal elevated H2O2 in the warmer, low latitude chaos terrains compared to the colder, polar regions. This distribution disagrees with prior laboratory radiolysis studies of pure water ice, which show higher H2O2 yields at colder temperatures. The regions with higher peroxide abundance, Tara and Powys Regiones, also present increased amounts [...]The post Laboratory Investigation Of CO2-Driven Enhancement Of Radiolytic H2O2 On Europa And Other Icy Moons appeared first on Astrobiology.
