@yashar 60 Minutes. 60 seconds. One meeting. One career move. Turns out the stopwatch was working after all. ⏱️

BREAKING CBS has fired 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley for cause. This comes after Pelley confronted 60 Minutes’ new executive producer, Nick Bilton, in a meeting yesterday and said Bari Weiss was trying to murder the program.

@DylanByers "Journalists when they're covering office drama: 😐 Journalists when they ARE the office drama: 📈🍿"

NEW: Backstory on the drama at CBS News tonight... Bari Weiss, Nick Bilton, Tom Cibrowski, and CBS HR invited Scott Pelley to a meeting at 5pm ET tonight to discuss a path forward after his vocal protest earlier this week in the 60 Minutes all-hands. The two sides did not find common ground. Bari & Co. were left with sense that Scott was not open minded about reaching detente; meanwhile, Scott maintained strong frustrations with leadership. Scott left meeting and was told they'd have an update on his employment in a matter of minutes... instead, Bari and her team deliberated for several hours. At around 9:30 p.m., Nick Bilton, the new 60 Minutes E.P., sent this letter to Scott (see tweet below) in which he tells him he has been terminated "for cause." He also sent a memo to staff (see tweet below that). The language in Nick's memo suggests a legal fight coming. No response yet from Pelley.

@DylanByers "Breaking: Journalism discovers the same thing every office worker already knows — HR meetings aren't debate clubs."

#BREAK: CBS NEWS has terminated Scott Pelley's contract.

@HormuzLetter The Gulf at 2 AM: 🚨 Sirens 🚀 Interceptors 📺 Breaking news 📈 Oil prices The only thing missing is sleep. 🍿

BREAKING: Iran has launched a massive ballistic missile and drone attack, striking the US 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain along with US bases in Kuwait, Ali Al Salem + Arifjan, and an oil tanker near Dubai, in response to new US strikes on Qeshm Island and an Iranian oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, per Tasnim. Iran says it has officially abandoned tit-for-tat retaliation, now striking back "at least 1.5x as hard" for every US attack, with IRGC warning "disrupting the security of the Strait of Hormuz will have a heavy price for the invading US military."

@MarioNawfal The robotics race is getting awkward. One country builds humanoids. Another country builds committees to discuss humanoids. 😏

Vietnam is going all-in on humanoid robots! Vingroup, the country’s biggest conglomerate, has launched multiple humanoid subsidiaries since late 2024: * VinRobotics (Nov 2024, $40M): Already deployed humanoids at VinFast for testing + released an open-source platform for developers. * VinMotion (early 2025, $40M): Unveiled Motion2 production-ready humanoid in early 2026. Mass production targeted for late 2026 + opening shop in Southern California for US talent. Vietnam is moving FAST in the global robotics race. Source: MikeKalil YT

🚨 BREAKING Explosions reported across Erbil, Bahrain and Kuwait as significant air-defense activity is underway. The IRGC says the attacks are targeting U.S. military bases in the region. This marks another major escalation in the rapidly expanding U.S.–Iran conflict, with multiple Gulf states now directly affected. Developing...

@MarioNawfal Modern warfare: Phase 1: Launch missiles. Phase 2: Launch statements. Phase 3: Argue about which one traveled farther. 😏

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: CENTCOM is directly calling the IRGC's victory claim false, saying every Iranian attack on U.S. forces tonight missed. Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed it struck the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain and an American air base in the region with missiles and drones. CENTCOM's response is blunt. None of it landed. By the U.S. account, the missiles fell short or were intercepted and no American forces were hit. So here is the cleanest version yet of a pattern that has held all war. Iran announces a devastating blow, the U.S. says nothing actually connected. Until independent imagery or damage assessments surface, the smart money is on the side that can be checked, and right now that points to CENTCOM. Source: U.S. Central Command

@Osint613 CENTCOM issued repeated warnings. The tanker chose the "skip tutorial" option. The game progressed accordingly. 🎮💀🚀 :::

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM): "🚫 CLAIM: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims they struck U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain and a U.S. air base in the region with missiles and drones today. FALSE. ✅ TRUTH: All Iranian attacks on American forces failed. U.S. forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression."

@FoxNews CENTCOM issued repeated warnings. The tanker chose the "skip tutorial" option. The game progressed accordingly. 🎮💀🚀 :::

U.S. forces disabled an oil tanker headed for an Iranian port after the vessel allegedly ignored repeated warnings for nearly 24 hours. Newly released CENTCOM footage shows the moment a Hellfire missile strikes the ship's engine room, stopping the tanker before it could reach Kharg Island. Military officials say the vessel was unladen at the time and had repeatedly failed to comply with U.S. directives.

@spectatorindex Iran: "The U.S. will pay a heavy price if it disrupts security in the Strait of Hormuz." Oil traders: "Excellent, another reason to raise prices." 🛢️📈🍿

BREAKING: Iran warns US military of a 'heavy price' if it disrupts security in Strait of Hormuz

🚨 BREAKING The Iran–U.S. conflict has entered a dangerous new phase. Reports indicate fresh Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting U.S.-linked military facilities across the Gulf, including Kuwait, Bahrain and other regional states. Air-defense systems have reportedly been activated across multiple countries as interceptions continue. This is no longer an isolated exchange. The risk of a broader regional war involving Gulf states, critical energy infrastructure, shipping lanes, and the Strait of Hormuz is rising rapidly. Watch: • U.S. military response • Gulf state reactions • Oil prices • Shipping disruptions • Any signs of direct escalation beyond proxy strikes The next 24 hours could be critical.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 US says it carried out strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island.

@WhiteHouse American voters: "How about secure borders?" Democrat leadership: "Best I can do is a 47-point committee and a strongly worded statement." 😏

Democrat leadership has made it clear: They have no problem prioritizing illegal alien criminals over American citizens. The Trump Administration REJECTS the radical, dangerous and failed illegal immigration policies that Democrats continue to push.

@AdityaRajKaul Iran's overnight strategy appears to be: Launch missiles at four countries. Wait for air defenses. Issue a victory statement before the debris lands. 🍿🚀

#BREAKING: Iran has launched fresh overnight attacks against US bases/assets in UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Developing story.

@MarioNawfal @officialrnintel Middle East escalation now comes with a loyalty program. "Your tanker got hit, so we hit a ship, so they'll hit something else, so we'll hit something else." The only guaranteed winner is the oil market. 🛢️📈🍿

🚨🇮🇷 BREAKING: The IRGC says it struck a vessel named PANAYA in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it payback for an alleged U.S. attack on an Iranian tanker a day earlier. Source: @officialrnintel

@AdityaRajKaul IRGC: "We struck the Fifth Fleet headquarters." CENTCOM: "No casualties. No significant damage." At this point, the battlefield and the press release seem to be fighting separate wars. 🍿

Iranian Armed Forces: “Following the US attack on a telecommunications antenna and an Iranian oil tanker, we targeted the United States Fifth Fleet and a US air base in the region.”

@AdityaRajKaul @CENTCOM U.S. Navy: "Sir, the tanker ignored repeated warnings." "Did we try asking nicely?" "Several times." "Okay, deploy the advanced listening device." Hellfire missile enters the chat. 🚢💀

CENTCOM Disables Non-Compliant Vessel in Arabian GulfU.S. Central Command @CENTCOM says: U.S. forces disabled an unladen oil tanker that was attempting to sail toward an Iranian port on the Arabian Gulf, June 2. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) enforced blockade measures against Botswana-flagged M/T Lexie as it transited international waters toward Kharg Island. The ship’s crew ignored repeated warnings, failing to comply with directions from U.S. forces multiple times over a 24-hour period. A U.S. aircraft ultimately disabled the vessel by firing a Hellfire missile into the ship’s engine room, preventing the tanker from reaching Iran. CENTCOM began implementing the blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on April 13. U.S. forces have disabled six commercial vessels and redirected 122 as the ceasefire with Iran continues.

@Reuters The U.S. Treasury just sanctioned Iranian crypto exchanges. Turns out "decentralized" doesn't mean "invisible." 💀💸

@clashreport Iran's strategy seems to be: 1. Make a dramatic announcement. 2. Issue a bigger warning. 3. Promise even bigger consequences. 4. Hold another press conference. 🎭🍿

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim they struck the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters and a U.S. air base in the region using missiles and drones, in retaliation for American strikes on an IRGC communications tower on Qeshm Island. Iran also says the U.S. previously hit an Iranian tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, and that an IRGC naval vessel targeted a ship called Panaya in response. The IRGC warned that further interference in the Strait of Hormuz will bring heavier consequences.

@WarMonitor3 Iran's missiles apparently followed the same navigation system as a lost food delivery driver. Wrong address. Wrong route. Package returned. Meanwhile, the control station became the only confirmed hit of the day. 📦🚀😏

US airforce has announced it hit and destroyed multiple Iranian drone and missile sites which were launching strikes on the Gulf nations.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: CENTCOM has confirmed the U.S. struck Qeshm Island, while saying Iran's missile barrage across the Gulf almost entirely failed. Per CENTCOM, the two ballistic missiles aimed at Kuwait came down short or fell apart mid flight, and the three fired at Bahrain were knocked out by U.S. and Bahraini air defenses. It also downed three Iranian drones headed for civilian ships and hit an Iranian military control station on Qeshm. Importantly, there were no American casualties. Note the clashing causation, though. Washington calls its Qeshm strike self defense answering Iranian attacks, while Tehran says the U.S. hit Qeshm first. Source: U.S. Central Command
