US-Iran Talks Yield 60-Day Roadmap as Qatar LNG Explosion Injures 54 and IDF Kills Two Hamas Operatives in Gaza (Jun 22, 0651 UTC, 0951 Israel) (Morning Edition)
The first round of US-Iran talks in Switzerland concluded with a 60-day roadmap toward a final deal, though tensions persist over Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Israeli military presence in southern Lebanon. An explosion at Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG terminal injured 54 and left 18 missing, shaking global energy markets. The IDF killed two Hamas operatives in Gaza, including a senior engineering officer, and shot dead two Palestinians hurling Molotov cocktails at a West Bank settlement.
