The Middle East war cut off roughly a third of the world’s supply of helium, the invisible powerhouse of modern technology. The semiconductor industry so critical to artificial-intelligence systems didn’t even blink. With @GiuliaPetroni 👇 https://t.co/eTmSwMdypF
Traffic remains uneven
A total of 29 verified vessel crossings were recorded through the Strait of Hormuz between 10 and 14 June, covering crude, refined products, LPG, chemicals, methanol and general cargo movements. Activity was concentrated on 11 and 12 June, while 23 of the crossings moved west to east, compared with six travelling in the opposite direction. Eighteen crossings were classified as Dark or Unknown Route, highlighting ongoing visibility constraints despite continued traffic flow. Two sanctioned vessels were also identified during the period. The data aligns with reports of progress in US-Iran discussions and supports the assessment that the Strait remains operational, although traffic volumes, route transparency and directional balance have yet to return to a clearly normalised pattern.

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.
We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.
With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

Great to speak to @WSJ in this recent interview. My points in brief:
➡️ Europe must free itself of russian gas completely. #LNG is key in this and @dtek_en is ready to play its part. We hope to announce LNG deals soon after our first shipment in late 2024.
➡️ Our immediate priority is to restore power stations but are also building new generation and storage in Ukraine and beyond to keep the country connected.
➡️ To rebuild Ukraine, we must do everything possible to become a magnet for foreign investment. Despite the war, investors are beginning to recognise the opportunity Ukraine represents.
Thank you to @GiuliaPetroni and the Wall Street Journal.

Evan has missed so much in the 434 days he’s been sitting in a Russian prison, locked up for being a reporter. Last weekend, he missed his college reunion. Fellow alumni stood with Evan, as we do every day. He cannot be released soon enough.@BowdoinCollege #IStandWithEvan
Earlier today, a Moscow court rejected an appeal by Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich against his detention, meaning he will remain behind bars until at least June 30.

56 weeks ago today, Russia wrongly detained my friend and @WSJ colleague Evan Gershkovich for being nothing more than a journalist (and great one at that).
Hope lives on. The fight to free Evan lives on. And it will continue until he is back with us. #FreeEvan#IStandWithEvan
