    （华盛顿/德黑兰综合电）美国宣布暂时解除对伊朗石油实施了数十年的制裁，允许伊朗以美元销售石油，为期60天。德黑兰说，美国也同意解冻总值120亿美元的伊朗资产。这是美伊谈判取得进展的最新迹象。

    不过，伊朗尚未在核问题上做出重大让步就获得实质回报，引起了关注和担忧。虽然美国称伊朗已同意让国际原子能机构核查人员重新入境，但伊朗否认。

    美国和伊朗上周签署停火谅解备忘录后，星期天（6月21日）在瑞士谈判，针对60天内达成最终协议的路线图达成共识。美国随即在星期一（22日）发布一般许可文件，允许生产、交付和销售伊朗原油以及石化和石油产品，有效期直到8月21日。

    这是美国数十年来，首次允许伊朗以美元出售石油，对急需外汇的德黑兰来说无疑是个好消息。彭博社引述消息报道，伊朗在美国发放许可前已开始联系印度、日本、韩国等亚洲国家的炼油商，并在确定得到豁免后立刻行动，清掉积压海上多时的油货。

    伊朗首席谈判代表、议长卡利巴夫星期一说，美国在瑞士会谈中也同意，解冻两批各值60亿美元的伊朗资产。

    他确认，美伊同意在霍尔木兹海峡建立协调机制，包括设立热线与协调中心来解决相关问题。但他强调，伊朗继续管理霍尔木兹海峡，这条运输要道“永远不会回到战前状态”。

    美国首席谈判代表、副总统万斯同日说，德黑兰同意允许国际原子能机构核查人员重返伊朗。美国总统特朗普星期二在社媒上也说：“大家都清楚，伊朗会同意接受大规模武器核查，以确保它在未来长期保持核诚信。”

    然而，伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃过后说，目前没有安排核查人员检查伊朗受损核设施的计划。

    针对特朗普称伊朗资金解冻后只能用于购买美国的农产品，巴加埃说，伊朗将根据国家利益与自身需要，自由使用被解冻的资产。

    特朗普前一天在白宫说，伊朗资金解冻后不能用于军事用途，而须向美国购买粮食，因为伊朗人民正在挨饿。他还警告德黑兰，如果不遵守谅解备忘录，就会再次遭到打击，即使这可能使全球经济面临崩溃风险。他称：“核武器比大萧条更糟糕。”

    伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬星期二强调：“谈判进程是否能取得进展，将以双方是否切实履行所承担的责任为衡量标准。任何脱离商定文本的言论都无助于推进谈判。”

    美伊在瑞士的技术谈判星期二继续。伊朗常驻联合国日内瓦办事处代表巴赫雷尼当天说，各方将在未来数日成立两个工作组，分别负责解除制裁以及伊朗核活动相关事宜。

    他强调，黎巴嫩是谅解备忘录毋庸置疑的一部分，任何违反这份协议的行为将给和谈进程带来挑战。可是，黎巴嫩媒体报道，以色列士兵当天又在黎南部城镇纳巴提耶开枪打死一人，另两人受伤。

    美伊也同意设立一个冲突消除机制，确保黎巴嫩战事停止。但以色列强硬依旧，总理内坦亚胡、防长卡茨与国防军总参谋长扎米尔星期一发联合声明重申，以军将继续在黎南展开军事行动，以应对安全威胁，维护以方在当地的安全区。

    环太平洋军演前夕 中美西太平洋军事对垒态势升温

    2026年6月23日 20:14 / 联合早报

    由美国盟友及伙伴国家参演的环太平洋军演6月24日登场前，中国海军辽宁舰编队率先完成40多天远海实战化训练后，22日返回山东青岛母港。图为辽宁舰在西太平洋参加军事演习的档案照片。 （路透社）

    环太平洋军演星期三（6月24日）登场前，西太平洋海空动态已先行升温。美国盟友及伙伴国家参演舰艇陆续向夏威夷集结，中国海军辽宁舰编队则在完成40多天远海实战化训练后，星期一（22日）返回青岛母港。受访学者分析，这些动态既有例行演训成分，也反映中美在第一岛链以东进入新一轮军事体系竞争。

    美国太平洋舰队宣布，2026年环太平洋军演将从6月24日持续至7月31日，31国约40艘水面舰、五艘潜艇、140架军机与逾2万5000人参与。

    另一方面，美国主导的“勇敢之盾2026”演习也已于6月22日在关岛、北马里亚纳群岛、日本及马里亚纳群岛周边海空域展开，使西太平洋进入密集演训期。

    中国海军星期一则宣布，辽宁舰编队这次赴南中国海、西太平洋等海空域，进行预警探测、岸海联合体系对抗、舰载机战术飞行、制空防空、对海打击、支援掩护及实弹使用等课目，并与两栖攻击舰编队展开体系融合训练。

    澎湃新闻引述中国军事专家张军社分析，辽宁舰4月20日经台湾海峡前往南中国海；此后，编队自5月19日赴西太平洋相关海域开展训练，跨区域演训时间近两个月，“是辽宁舰入列以来时间最长的一次跨区域远海训练”，表明远海攻防体系作战能力得到进一步增强。

    张军社也指出，辽宁舰编队与两栖攻击舰编队进行联合训练具有重要意义。航母编队可以夺取战场制空权和制海权，掩护两栖攻击舰等登陆作战编队实施登陆作战，这种演练能进一步提高中国海军对大型岛礁的立体登陆作战能力。

    而在演训期间，中国官媒报道也提及，日本舰机多次近距离跟踪监视，滋扰挑衅。辽宁舰编队全程保持高度戒备状态，连续组织舰载机战斗起飞，灵活变换战斗队形，专业稳妥处置应对日本危险行径。

    台湾淡江大学国际事务与战略研究所副教授林颖佑接受《联合早报》采访时指出，若从先前美菲4月下旬举行的“肩并肩”演习开始观察，美国已明确展现不单靠自身力量，而是结合菲律宾、日本等国共同应对北京。

    他认为，北京当然不排除利用辽宁舰对美国作出回应，但辽宁舰毕竟是“上个世纪的产物”，“这个回应是不是有达到效果，我个人是存疑的，我个人会认为这个效果是很有限的”。

    台湾国防安全研究院国家安全研究所研究员沈明室则认为，辽宁舰现已可越过第一岛链活动，但受限于补给能力与缺乏海外军事基地，不太可能长时间超越第二岛链；但未来若福建舰服役，解放军航母活动范围就可能进一步外推。

    对于辽宁舰编队远洋演训的针对性，沈明室则说，北京目前未必希望与美国或周边国家硬碰硬，尤其近期美方强化第一岛链国家演训；北京若在南中国海或台海制造高调冲突，反而会坐实美日菲演习所防范的安全情境。

    除了辽宁舰编队远洋实战演训外，在环太平洋军演登场前夕，中国央视《军情时间到》栏目上星期六（6月20日）也播出两场火箭军实战化演练，同样极具针对意味。

    其中一场的画面更显示，东风17的发射车停靠在公路边起竖，导弹随即垂直发射升空。

    值得注意的是，环太平洋军演不只是水面舰集结，也包括潜艇与反潜作战。林颖佑指出，这次可观察美军如何与盟国运用潜艇演练水下联合作战，因为若中国航母日后成为远海主力，对付航母最有效的方式之一，就是“从海底出击”。

    此外，林颖佑也提到，当美国、日本及盟友舰队向演习海域集结，中方船舰与公务船活动不只是宣示存在，也涉及电子信号与行动样态搜集。

    他说，美日会希望了解中国船只行动，以及船只是否使用电子信号；反过来，中国海军电子侦察船“开阳星号”已穿越大隅海峡进入太平洋，外界研判它可能前往环太平洋军演相关海域进行侦搜。“中美两边其实各自有各自的盘算。”

    不过，沈明室指出，环太平洋演习毕竟是例行的大规模军演，“美国会避免说这好像是针对中国”；可如果武器增加，科目也不同，那当然就更有针对性意义。“比如说有海军远程导弹射击，或者是空海联合作战，而且是针对大国、大规模的联合作战”，那北京派出侦察船或无人机靠近演习外围进行情报搜集的可能性会升高。

    整体而言，环太平洋军演前的西太平洋局势，已不只是中美航母或单舰对峙，而是两套军事体系同步展开。美国试图通过多国演训、分散部署与水下作战整合，把盟友和伙伴国家转化为可共同指挥与支援的海空网络；中国则以航母远海演训、跨岛链机动、侦察舰与电子侦察，测试第一岛链外围战场环境，并掌握美军及盟友的演训样态。

    短期内，双方都不愿爆发军事冲突，但随着舰机活动密度升高、演习科目更趋复杂，围绕西太平洋的监侦竞争和海空接触风险仍将持续升高。

  • 土尔西·加巴德公布的新冠文件无法佐证其对福奇的指控


    2026-06-23T15:49:29.751Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/23/politics/covid-19-gabbard-fauci-claims

    • 前国家情报总监土尔西·加巴德公布了内部文件，称这些文件能证明安东尼·福奇博士资助了引发新冠疫情的研究。
    • 这些文件包含关于病毒可能起源的情报讨论，但并未就疫情如何暴发给出明确答案。
    • 文件同样无法证明加巴德的指控，即福奇操纵情报或在2024年国会作证时撒谎；他2024年在国会的发言的确切含义尚不明确。

    本文由AI生成摘要，并经CNN编辑审核。

    在上周担任国家情报总监的最后一天，土尔西·加巴德公布了内部文件，她声称这些文件能证实有关安东尼·福奇博士和新冠疫情的一系列指控。

    事实并非如此。这些文件远不足以佐证加巴德对福奇的各项指控。

    最值得注意的是：这些文件完全无法证明“福奇资助了引发新冠疫情的武汉实验室研究”，尽管加巴德的团队在其官方网站公布文件时使用的加粗标题中就提出了这一主张。虽然文件中包含情报界内部对新冠疫情可能起源的部分讨论，但并未提供任何明确答案。

    广告反馈

    文件同样无法证实加巴德在社交媒体上周发布的帖子（该内容也被发布在网站上）中提出的指控，即福奇与情报官员合作“压制有关其行为的真相”。尽管文件包含福奇2021年就病毒可能起源向中情局提供建议和意见的摘要，但并未显示他“操纵了情报”。

    文件也无法证明加巴德在视频中提出的指控，即福奇“2024年在国会撒谎”，尽管人们可以就相关那句六字评论的准确性展开合理辩论。记录显示，福奇的发言是在一段复杂的多轮问答末尾做出的，因此其言论的确切含义并不明确。

    福奇于2022年从联邦政府退休，此前他担任美国国家过敏和传染病研究所所长38年，并担任时任总统乔·拜登的首席医疗顾问两年。他未就本文的置评请求作出回应。

    加巴德公布的文件中，完全没有涉及病毒起源问题的证据，更无法佐证该网站标题中加粗的“福奇资助了引发新冠疫情的武汉实验室研究”这一主张。

    文件中的第一份文件是加州一家联邦资助实验室2020年5月的分析报告的大幅删减版，该报告为美国情报机构提供支持。该分析的存在已于2021年被媒体报道，报告指出，2019年中后期，中国武汉病毒研究所“具备实验室改造病毒意外泄漏的所有必要条件”，“具体而言，是一种能够识别人类细胞受体的冠状病毒”。该报告对“新冠疫情源自实验室改造病毒”的理论，与“疫情由自然病毒暴发或自然病毒意外泄漏引发”的理论给予了“同等权重”。

    这份分析对于那些认为当时部分联邦官员、科学家和媒体对实验室泄漏理论过于不屑一顾的人来说，是有力的佐证；它表明，早在疫情初期，一些与政府有关联的专家就已经认真对待这一观点。然而，该分析显然无法证明疫情确实是由实验室泄漏引发的，更无法证明泄漏源于福奇资助的研究。

    事实上，文件中包含一封2023年的电子邮件，一名姓名被删减的官员在邮件中辩称，2020年5月的分析报告无法证实其核心主张，即武汉实验室在2019年中后期具备泄漏实验室改造病毒的“所有必要条件”，该官员称“我们现在没有，2020年也没有任何情报显示武汉病毒研究所拥有潜在的前体病毒”。文件中还包含2020年9月的一封电子邮件，一名姓名被删减的官员表示，“我们没有令人信服的证据表明中国故意制造了这种病毒，情报界对于实验室意外泄漏自然毒株还是自然暴发更有可能这一问题尚无共识”。

    关于举报件处理的文件内容

    文件显示了情报界内部就如何处理一起举报件展开的讨论，该举报件称福奇在2021年作证时撒谎，当时他表示美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）“从未也并未向武汉病毒研究所资助功能获得性研究”。（科学家们对于 NIH 资助的武汉相关研究是否属于“功能获得性研究”存在分歧。）尽管文件可能会引发关于情报界如何处理该举报件的合理疑问，但文件并未显示福奇曾试图压制该举报。

    文件显示，2021年8月11日，时任情报界代理监察长塔玛拉·约翰逊写道，该举报件并非涉及情报界事务——其一，福奇并非情报界官员——同时，将该举报件转交给监督福奇所领导的卫生机构的监察长也“毫无意义”。

    约翰逊写道，由于举报是匿名提交的，他们无法跟进获取更多信息；举报件所依据信息的密级意味着他们只能向卫生监察长分享“非常有限”的信息；而且当时关于福奇证词准确性的公开争议已经存在，因此“极有可能”卫生监督机构已经知晓他发言不准确的指控。

    五天后，时任国家情报总监艾薇儿·海恩斯办公室的高级律师克里斯托弗·方宗为海恩斯提供了一份谈话要点草稿，其中提到“一个想法”是让约翰逊将举报件转交给卫生监察长，并确保该官员能够获取相关情报。但三天后，方宗表示他们决定改为建议将举报件转交给时任拜登任命的卫生部长泽维尔·贝塞拉，后者负责监督福奇领导的联邦机构。

    方宗第二封邮件的措辞让外界难以解读他为何做出这一调整。（方宗在给海恩斯的邮件中写道：“我认为关键在于，我们看到的情况与贝塞拉部长此前对你说的一致——他们已经考虑过此事，福奇博士也一再强调 NIH 未在武汉病毒研究所开展功能获得性研究。”）批评人士有理由认为，将举报件转交给内阁部长这样的政治人物，无异于将其搁置。

    但文件中并未显示任何内容表明福奇本人曾推动情报界将举报件转交给贝塞拉。

    文件包含2021年6月福奇与中情局人员就新冠疫情可能起源举行会议的非正式摘要。此次会议被描述为中情局就2021年5月一份关于疫情“难以捉摸”起源的情报分析报告要点向福奇做的简报。

    其中一份摘要称，福奇建议情报官员阅读一篇他认为能“明确显示新冠病毒自然起源”的学术论文——他在公开言论中一贯表示，他认为病毒可能源自自然——并建议情报官员联系一组“密切关注该问题”的美国科学家。

    加巴德团队的在线声明谴责了福奇推荐的学术论文，并抱怨福奇“挑选”专家为情报界提供建议。但摘要显示，中情局“已经在联系或计划联系其中一些人员”，文件中也没有迹象表明福奇在下达命令、做出情报决策或修改情报文件，而只是向中情局表达了个人观点。加巴德可以自由主张文件显示情报界成员过于顺从福奇的观点，但这只能说明情报界决策存在缺陷，而非福奇的问题。

    摘要还称，福奇建议中情局就武汉研究所研究人员患病情况提出相关问题，这显然是指2019年秋季据称患病的研究人员。摘要还称，福奇建议中情局获取中国关于穿山甲研究的关键细节，文件显示中情局在会议中曾向福奇提及此事；当时人们曾质疑这些哺乳动物是否可能是将病毒传播给人类的中间宿主。

    加巴德团队的在线声明解释了她在视频中所说的文件证明福奇2024年在国会撒谎的含义。声明称，文件显示福奇在一次委员会听证会上回答是否曾与任何美国情报机构“就病毒研究进行过交谈”时给出了虚假答案。

    但委员会听证会的视频显示，福奇当时的发言含义远不如加巴德团队所说的那样明确。福奇那句有争议的话——“据我所知没有”——是在一段复杂的多轮问答末尾说出的，最后一个问题并未使用“就病毒研究进行交谈”的表述。

    首先，共和党众议员布拉德·温斯特鲁普问道：“你是否或曾经知晓美国国务院在2005年发出过警告，称中国政府正在研制生物武器？”福奇回答：“我对此并不知情。”接着，温斯特鲁普问道：“你是否曾与任何人在情报界讨论过中国的生物武器计划？”福奇回应：“据我所知，我从未与任何人讨论过中国的生物武器计划。”

    随后温斯特鲁普问道：“在新冠疫情之前、期间或之后，你是否曾与联邦调查局、中情局、国防情报局或任何美国情报机构就任何形式的病毒研究进行过交谈？”但他说的是“之前”，并未说明具体时间范围，因此福奇又回到了生物武器的话题上，谈到了他在2001年炭疽袭击期间与情报机构的对话。

    最终他们展开了如下对话：

    温斯特鲁普：“但你是否曾在任何时间就任何形式的病毒研究进行过交谈？”

    福奇：“我再说一次，当时有人担心基地组织可能正在使用或可能使用生物武器。我们曾就这种可能性与情报机构进行过讨论。”

    温斯特鲁普：“当然。但与新冠疫情无关，对吗？”

    福奇：“据我所知，关于新冠疫情的部分没有。”

    因此，温斯特鲁普一直试图让福奇承认他是否就与新冠疫情相关的病毒研究与情报机构进行过交谈。但由于福奇当时正在谈论20年前他与情报机构就炭疽和生物武器展开的对话，温斯特鲁普才插入了最后一个问题（“但与新冠疫情无关，对吗？”），这才引出了福奇那句有争议的话“据我所知，关于新冠疫情的部分没有”；而且温斯特鲁普在最后一个问题中并未使用“就病毒研究进行交谈”的表述，因此福奇的话可以被解读为他是否就新冠疫情作为生物武器与情报机构进行过交谈。

    新公布的文件中没有任何内容显示福奇确实在中情局会议上谈论过新冠疫情和生物武器，也没有任何内容显示他曾在其他时间与情报机构就此展开过讨论。因此，即使福奇在中情局会议上的发言符合“就病毒研究与该机构进行过交谈”的描述，这些文件也远不能确凿证明他在国会撒谎。

    平心而论，对于福奇的批评者来说，文件确实表明福奇在随后的发言中并未完整讲述中情局会议的情况；他说“在新冠疫情相关调查开始后，我曾被情报机构通报过不同实验室可能存在的活动情况；我曾被情报机构通报过相关信息”。文件确实将中情局会议描述为向福奇进行的“简报”，但也显示福奇除了接收信息外，还向中情局表达了多种观点。

    这并不意味着加巴德团队强调的那句话是谎言——而且无论如何，加巴德周六在社交媒体上声称“有途径”就2024年的证词起诉福奇，这一说法显然没有依据。拜登已赦免福奇在2014年至2025年1月19日担任政府公职期间可能犯下的任何联邦罪行。

    Why the Covid-19 documents Gabbard released don’t prove her claims about Fauci

    2026-06-23T15:49:29.751Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/23/politics/covid-19-gabbard-fauci-claims

    • Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released internal documents she said prove Dr. Anthony Fauci funded research that sparked Covid-19.
    • The documents include intelligence discussions about possible virus origins but provide no clear answers about how the pandemic began.
    • The files also do not prove Gabbard’s assertions that Fauci manipulated intelligence or lied to Congress in 2024 testimony; the precise meaning of his 2024 comment to Congress is unclear.

    AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.

    On her final day as director of national intelligence last week, Tulsi Gabbard released internal documents that she claimed prove a series of damning facts about Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Covid-19 pandemic.

    They don’t. The documents fall far short of corroborating various Gabbard claims about Fauci.

    Most notably: The documents do not come close to proving that “Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research That Sparked COVID,” though that’s the assertion Gabbard’s team made in the bolded headline it used on the director’s official website announcing the document release. While the documents include some discussions within the intelligence community about the possible origins of Covid-19, they don’t provide any clear answers.

    Ad Feedback

    Nor do the documents confirm Gabbard’s claim in a social media https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZxYpIauqSl/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== last week, which was repeated on the website, that Fauci worked with intelligence officials “to suppress the truth about his actions.” And while the documents include summaries of advice and opinions Fauci offered the CIA during a 2021 briefing about the virus’ possible origins, they don’t show that he “manipulated intelligence.”

    They also don’t prove Gabbard’s claim in the video that Fauci “lied to Congress in 2024,” though there can be reasonable debate about the accuracy of his six-word comment in question. The record shows that Fauci’s remark came at the end of a convoluted multi-question exchange, making the precise meaning of his words unclear.

    Fauci retired from the federal government in 2022 after 38 years as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and two years as then-President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor. He did not respond to a request for comment for this article.

    The documents released by Gabbard contain nothing remotely resembling proof on the question of how the virus originated – and certainly not proof for the bolded claim on the director’s website that “Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research That Sparked COVID.”

    The first document in the files is a heavily redacted version of a May 2020 analysis from a federally funded laboratory in California that supports US intelligence agencies. The analysis, whose existence was reported in the media in 2021, found that “all of the necessary conditions” for an accidental release of a lab-modified virus were present at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology in mid-to-late 2019, “specifically a coronavirus adapted to recognize human cell receptors.” The analysis placed “equal weight” on the theory that Covid-19 came from a lab modification as it did on the theory that the pandemic was sparked by a natural virus outbreak or a lab leak of a naturally-occurring virus.

    The analysis is valid ammunition for people who felt some federal officials, scientists and news outlets were unduly dismissive of lab-leak theories at the time; it shows that some experts connected to the government were, from early in the pandemic, taking the idea seriously. However, the analysis clearly doesn’t prove that the pandemic was indeed caused by a lab leak, much less that it was caused by a lab leak that resulted from research Fauci funded.

    In fact, the documents include a 2023 email in which an official whose name is redacted argues that the May 2020 analysis doesn’t substantiate its key claim that the Wuhan lab had “all of the necessary conditions” in mid-to-late 2019 for a leak of a lab-modified virus, saying “we do not now, nor did we back in 2020, have ANY reporting suggesting [Wuhan Institute of Virology]” had access to a potential precursor virus. And the documents also include a September 2020 email in which an official whose name is redacted says that “we do not see compelling evidence that China deliberately manufactured this virus, and there is no [intelligence community] consensus on whether an accidental lab release of a natural strain or a natural outbreak is more likely.”

    What the documents show about the handling of a whistleblower complaint

    The documents show internal discussions about how to handle a whistleblower complaint that claimed Fauci had lied to Congress when he testified in 2021 that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) “has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” (There is disagreement among scientists about whether or not certain Wuhan work that was funded with NIH grant money constituted “gain-of-function research.”) While the documents may prompt valid questions about how the intelligence community handled the complaint, the documents do not show that Fauci worked to suppress it.

    The documents show that on August 11, 2021, the acting inspector general for the intelligence community at the time, Tamara Johnson, wrote that the complaint wasn’t about an intelligence community matter – for one, Fauci wasn’t an intelligence community official – but also that there would be “no merit” in referring the complaint to the inspector general who watches health entities like Fauci’s.

    Johnson wrote that the complaint having been made anonymously left them unable to follow up to get additional information, that the classified status of the complaint’s underlying information meant they could share only “very limited” information with the health inspector general, and that the fact there was already a public dispute about the accuracy of Fauci’s testimony made it “highly probable” that the health watchdog would already be aware of the allegation he had spoken inaccurately.

    Five days later, a top lawyer in then-national intelligence director Avril Haines’ office, Christopher Fonzone, provided draft talking points for Haines that said “one idea” was for Johnson to transmit the whistleblower complaint to the health inspector general and make sure that official had access to the relevant intelligence. But three days later, Fonzone said they had decided to instead recommend referring the complaint to Xavier Becerra, then the Biden-appointed health secretary who oversaw the federal institute Fauci led.

    The wording of Fonzone’s second email leaves it hard for an outsider to decipher why he was saying the change was made. (Fonzone wrote to Haines, “I think the key thing is that what we’ve seen is consistent with the point that Secretary Becerra made to you – that this is something they’ve considered and that Dr. Fauci has point he’s repeated about the NIH not funding gain-of-function at the WIV.”) Critics are entitled to make an argument that a referral to a political figure like a Cabinet secretary was tantamount to burying the complaint.

    But the documents do not include anything showing that Fauci himself worked to get the intelligence community to refer the complaint to Becerra.

    The documents contain informal summaries of a meeting Fauci had with people from the CIA in June 2021 on the subject of the possible origins of Covid-19. The meeting was described as a CIA briefing on the key points of a May 2021 intelligence analysis on the “elusive” origins of the pandemic.

    One summary said Fauci recommended that the intelligence officials read an academic paper he believed showed “a clear indication of natural origins of COVID-19” – he consistently said in public comments that he believed the virus likely had a natural origin – and that the intelligence officials contact a group of US scientists who “closely follow this issue.”

    The online statement from Gabbard’s team denounced the academic paper Fauci suggested and complained that Fauci “provided hand-picked” experts to advise the intelligence community. But the summary said the CIA was “already in contact/in the plans to contact some of these individuals,” and there is no indication from the documents that Fauci was issuing orders, making intelligence decisions or changing intelligence documents rather than simply expressing opinions to the CIA. Gabbard is free to make her argument that the documents show members of the intelligence community were too deferential to Fauci’s views, but that would be a flaw in their decision-making, not Fauci’s.

    The summary also said Fauci suggested questions the CIA should ask about the cases of researchers at the Wuhan institute who had become sick, an apparent reference to the researchers believed to have fallen ill in the fall of 2019. And the summary said Fauci suggested that the CIA obtain key details of Chinese research on pangolins that the documents suggest the CIA mentioned to him in the meeting; there were questions at the time about whether these mammals might have been an intermediate host that transmitted the virus to humans.

    The online statement from Gabbard’s team explained what she meant when she said in the video that the documents show he lied to Congress in 2024. It says the documents show he gave a false answer when asked at a committee hearing whether he had spoken to any US intelligence agency “concerning viral research.”

    But the video of the committee hearing shows that the meaning of Fauci’s comment at the hearing was much less clear than Gabbard’s team suggests. Fauci uttered the words in question – “Not to my knowledge about Covid” – at the end of a convoluted multi-part exchange in which the final question did not use the words “concerning viral research.”

    First, Republican Rep. Brad Wenstrup asked him, “Are you or were you ever aware that the US State Department in 2005 issued warnings that the Chinese government was working on the creation of bioweapons?” Fauci said, “I was not aware of that.” Next, Wenstrup asked, “Did you ever discuss the Chinese bioweapons program with anyone in the intelligence community?” Fauci responded, “I’ve never discussed the Chinese bioweapons program, to my knowledge, with anybody.”

    Then Wenstrup asked, “Before, during, or after the Covid-19 pandemic, did you speak to the FBI, CIA, DIA, or any US intelligence agency concerning viral research of any kind?” But he said “before,” without saying how long ago he was talking about, so Fauci returned to the subject of bioweapons and spoke of conversations he had with intelligence agencies amid the anthrax attacks back in 2001.

    Eventually they arrived at this exchange:

    Wenstrup: “But did you at any time talk to – concerning viral research of any kind?”

    Fauci: Again, I say that at the time, that there was concern about the fact that al Qaeda may have been using or potentially using bioweapons. We had discussions with intelligence agencies about that possibility.”

    Wenstrup: “Sure. But not as related to, say, Covid-19?”

    Fauci: “Not to my knowledge about Covid.”

    So … Wenstrup had been trying to get Fauci to say whether he talked to intelligence agencies about any viral research related to Covid-19. But because Fauci was speaking about two-decades-old discussions with intelligence agencies about anthrax and bioweapons before Wenstrup interjected with the final question (“But not as related to, say, Covid-19?”) that prompted the Fauci words in dispute (“Not to my knowledge about Covid”), and because Wenstrup didn’t use the words “concerning viral research” in that final question, Fauci’s words could be interpreted as a comment about whether he had talked with intelligence agencies in relation to Covid-19 as a bioweapon.

    Nothing in the newly released documents shows that Fauci did talk about Covid-19 and bioweapons in the CIA meeting or with an intelligence agency at another time. So even if Fauci’s comments in the CIA meeting qualify as talking with the agency about viral research, these documents leave it far from indisputable that he lied to Congress.

    In fairness to Fauci critics, the documents do suggest Fauci wasn’t telling the full story of the CIA meeting with his next comment in the exchange; he said that “after the investigations began about Covid, I was briefed by intelligence agencies about possibilities of there being activities going on in different laboratories; I was briefed by intelligence agencies.” The documents do describe the CIA meeting as a “briefing” for Fauci, but also show Fauci expressed various opinions to the CIA in addition to receiving information.

    That doesn’t make the comment Gabbard’s team highlighted a lie – and, regardless, there’s no apparent basis for Gabbard’s Saturday claim on social media that “there is a path” to prosecuting Fauci over the 2024 testimony. Biden granted Fauci a pardon for any federal offenses that may have arisen from his government positions from 2014 through January 19, 2025.

    美国暂时豁免石油制裁 伊朗否认同意恢复核检查

    2026年6月23日 20:16 / 联合早报

    美国暂时允许伊朗在国际市场销售石油，为德黑兰提供了一条急需的经济生命线。图为伊朗民众周一在德黑兰一处公园里聊天。 （法新社）

    （华盛顿/德黑兰综合电）美国宣布暂时解除对伊朗石油实施了数十年的制裁，允许伊朗以美元销售石油，为期60天。德黑兰说，美国也同意解冻总值120亿美元的伊朗资产。这是美伊谈判取得进展的最新迹象。

    不过，伊朗尚未在核问题上做出重大让步就获得实质回报，引起了关注和担忧。虽然美国称伊朗已同意让国际原子能机构核查人员重新入境，但伊朗否认。

    美国和伊朗上周签署停火谅解备忘录后，星期天（6月21日）在瑞士谈判，针对60天内达成最终协议的路线图达成共识。美国随即在星期一（22日）发布一般许可文件，允许生产、交付和销售伊朗原油以及石化和石油产品，有效期直到8月21日。

    这是美国数十年来，首次允许伊朗以美元出售石油，对急需外汇的德黑兰来说无疑是个好消息。彭博社引述消息报道，伊朗在美国发放许可前已开始联系印度、日本、韩国等亚洲国家的炼油商，并在确定得到豁免后立刻行动，清掉积压海上多时的油货。

    伊朗首席谈判代表、议长卡利巴夫星期一说，美国在瑞士会谈中也同意，解冻两批各值60亿美元的伊朗资产。

    他确认，美伊同意在霍尔木兹海峡建立协调机制，包括设立热线与协调中心来解决相关问题。但他强调，伊朗继续管理霍尔木兹海峡，这条运输要道“永远不会回到战前状态”。

    美国首席谈判代表、副总统万斯同日说，德黑兰同意允许国际原子能机构核查人员重返伊朗。美国总统特朗普星期二在社媒上也说：“大家都清楚，伊朗会同意接受大规模武器核查，以确保它在未来长期保持核诚信。”

    然而，伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃过后说，目前没有安排核查人员检查伊朗受损核设施的计划。

    针对特朗普称伊朗资金解冻后只能用于购买美国的农产品，巴加埃说，伊朗将根据国家利益与自身需要，自由使用被解冻的资产。

    特朗普前一天在白宫说，伊朗资金解冻后不能用于军事用途，而须向美国购买粮食，因为伊朗人民正在挨饿。他还警告德黑兰，如果不遵守谅解备忘录，就会再次遭到打击，即使这可能使全球经济面临崩溃风险。他称：“核武器比大萧条更糟糕。”

    伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬星期二强调：“谈判进程是否能取得进展，将以双方是否切实履行所承担的责任为衡量标准。任何脱离商定文本的言论都无助于推进谈判。”

    美伊在瑞士的技术谈判星期二继续。伊朗常驻联合国日内瓦办事处代表巴赫雷尼当天说，各方将在未来数日成立两个工作组，分别负责解除制裁以及伊朗核活动相关事宜。

    他强调，黎巴嫩是谅解备忘录毋庸置疑的一部分，任何违反这份协议的行为将给和谈进程带来挑战。可是，黎巴嫩媒体报道，以色列士兵当天又在黎南部城镇纳巴提耶开枪打死一人，另两人受伤。

    美伊也同意设立一个冲突消除机制，确保黎巴嫩战事停止。但以色列强硬依旧，总理内坦亚胡、防长卡茨与国防军总参谋长扎米尔星期一发联合声明重申，以军将继续在黎南展开军事行动，以应对安全威胁，维护以方在当地的安全区。

  • FBI披露特朗普政府时期白宫UFC活动在疑似恐怖袭击阴谋下仍如期举行的原因


    联邦调查局副局长克里斯·拉亚称，嫌疑人当时处于监控之下，活动举办时无人身处华盛顿附近
    2026年6月23日 美国东部时间上午11:15 / 福克斯新闻
    作者：摩根·菲利普斯 福克斯新闻

    联邦调查局联合副局长克里斯·拉亚向福克斯新闻数字频道表示，特工与特勤局当时正在监控嫌疑人，在活动前已实施逮捕，随着大规模调查持续推进，目前仍在追查更多被捕人员。

    独家报道：就在联邦特工全力捣毁针对总统唐纳德·特朗普的UFC“自由250”赛事的疑似袭击阴谋时，调查人员同时做出了另一项关键判断：白宫赛事本身能否安全举办。

    在周一接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，联邦调查局副局长克里斯·拉亚表示，调查人员认为在赛事举办前已充分破坏了疑似阴谋，他称特工一直在监控嫌疑人，并确认活动举办时没有任何人身处华盛顿地区。

    “我们完全有信心推进（UFC赛事），”拉亚说道。“我们有信心破坏了该主要阴谋。”

    联邦调查局最初逮捕了5名涉嫌在6月14日赛事中杀害议员与参会者的嫌犯。此后，检方又公开指认了另外两名被告，这引发了人们的疑问：为何在调查人员仍在追查其他涉案人员的情况下，赛事仍获准继续举办。

    拉亚表示，额外的被告是该阴谋的“追随者”而非主谋。
    “我们确信我们已经抓获了主谋、该阴谋的主要策划者，所以其余的人更多是你现在看到的那种追随者。”
    “现场安保非常严密，”副总统JD·万斯在6月16日做客福克斯新闻《五点档》节目时表示。“后来证明这个阴谋没那么高明。他们根本不在城里。”

    据悉，这一问题引发了联邦机构之间的紧张关系。
    两名美国高级官员此前告诉福克斯新闻，特勤局领导层希望推迟公开披露调查，直到能抓获更多嫌犯，他们担心公开调查可能会提醒其他目标对象，使正在进行的案件复杂化。

    拉亚表示，联邦调查局并不认同这些担忧，他称调查人员当时已经在监控疑似主谋和其他涉案嫌疑人。

    “我们早就控制住了局面，或者说我会称之为很早就进行了干预，尽管我们当时还没有实施逮捕，”他说。“我们一直在监视策划此事的人。我们对他们进行了监控。所以我们知道，在赛事举办期间，没有人接近华盛顿特区地区。”

    尽管在何时公开披露调查方面存在报道分歧，拉亚强调，联邦调查局和特勤局在整个案件中密切合作。
    “这是我们和特勤局联合办理的案件，”拉亚说道。
    据拉亚介绍，两家机构在共同评估威胁后才决定赛事可以继续举办。
    “我们全体开会讨论，共同做出了推进UFC 250赛事的决定，”他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

    特勤局副局长马修·奎因在一场无关活动中回应相关问题时强调，特勤局“从一开始就主导了这项调查”，并暗示调查人员在案件仍在侦办期间故意避免公开披露。
    “为了维护调查的完整性和安保计划，我们选择不泄露信息，”奎因在6月16日的新闻发布会上说道。

    拉亚是一名资深联邦调查局特工，曾任该局纽约分局局长，在前副局长丹·邦吉诺离职后，于今年1月被任命为联邦调查局联合副局长。在领导纽约分局之前，拉亚曾担任联邦调查局高级反恐官员之一，自2003年起就在该局任职。

    根据法庭记录，疑似共谋者最初通过一个名为“古老先锋”的TikTok社区建立联系，随后将讨论转移至Signal、Telegram和SimpleX等加密通讯平台。调查人员称，成员们按照层级分工，包括一线行动人员、无人机操作员、招募人员、后勤人员和技术支持人员。

    法庭记录显示，该网络规模远超最初被指控的嫌犯。在获取俄亥俄州被告泰森·普罗珀的手机搜查令后，调查人员据称发现一个包含约19名参与者的主要Signal聊天群，以及按角色和地点划分的小型行动聊天组。

    拉亚表示，该案远未结案：目前有14至15个联邦调查局分局协助调查。
    “我们将继续积极追查此案，”他说。“你揭开一层，就会看到四层新的线索。”

    该案也凸显了联邦调查局面临的最大调查挑战之一：加密通讯平台。
    “这是我们在加密通讯平台方面的一个短板，”拉亚说道。

    拉亚表示，调查人员试图通过机密线人、卧底特工和其他合法调查手段渗透这些网络。
    “我们显然会尝试通过机密线人、卧底特工渗透，当然这一切都在宪法框架内，”他说，此处指代“机密人类线人”和“卧底雇员”。

    但拉亚承认，联邦调查局无法监控到所有可能存在犯罪活动的加密聊天群。
    在UFC案件中，他指出普罗珀的母亲是促使调查人员在阴谋进一步升级前揭露该疑似阴谋的关键人物。
    “是一位忧心忡忡的家长真正开启了整个UFC 250案件的调查，”拉亚说道。“这位家长打电话举报了自己的儿子。”

    这一线索最终引导调查人员找到了普罗珀的手机以及检方所称包含无人机、狙击手位置、逃跑路线和袭击策划讨论的加密聊天网络。拉亚表示，如果没有这通初始举报电话，该疑似阴谋可能仍隐藏在持续困扰执法部门的加密平台背后。

    UFC案件也反映了联邦调查局官员所称的威胁环境的更广泛转变。调查人员越来越担忧的不再是大型、层级化的恐怖组织，而是可能在网上组织起来、获取商用技术、几乎无需外部支持就能制定袭击计划的独行侠和小型团体。
    “相比‘9·11’式的大规模袭击，我更担心单个独行侠、单个攻击者，”他说。

    在讨论国际足联世界杯的安保准备工作时，他将无人机袭击列为联邦调查局最担忧的威胁之一，并警告称海外战场上出现的战术最终可能会蔓延至美国。

    调查人员称，有迹象表明疑似网络可能考虑了白宫UFC赛事之外的目标。
    在一份新公开的法庭文件中，一名联邦调查局特工表示，他认为涉嫌共谋者之间的交流提到了可能针对7月3日在密苏里州堪萨斯城举办的一场国际足联世界杯比赛的袭击。

    “我认为这是一种正在出现的威胁，”拉亚说道。“我们已经在海外见过这种情况，有人将这种袭击手段、这种威胁类型带到美国只是时间问题。”

    UFC疑似袭击案就体现了这些担忧中的许多方面。检方称，该团伙使用加密通讯、将成员划分为专业角色、讨论无人机行动并在多个州协调活动，而无需依赖传统恐怖组织或外国网络。

    FBI reveals why Trump White House UFC event went ahead despite alleged terror plot

    Deputy Director Chris Raia said suspects were under surveillance and none were near Washington when the event was held

    June 23, 2026 11:15am EDT / Fox News

    By Morgan Phillips Fox News

    FBI co-Deputy Director Chris Raia tells Fox News Digital that agents and the Secret Service had suspects under surveillance, made arrests ahead of the event and are still pursuing additional arrests as a sprawling investigation continues.

    EXCLUSIVE: As federal agents raced to dismantle an alleged plot targeting President Donald Trump’s UFC Freedom 250 event, investigators were simultaneously making another critical determination: whether the White House event itself could safely go forward.

    In a Monday interview with Fox News Digital, FBI Deputy Director Chris Raia said investigators believed they had sufficiently disrupted the alleged conspiracy before the event took place, arguing that agents were monitoring suspects and knew none were in the Washington area when the UFC event was held.

    “We absolutely felt very comfortable moving (the UFC event) forward,” Raia said. “We were confident that we had disrupted that main plot.”

    The FBI initially arrested five people accused of participating in the plot to kill lawmakers and attendees at the June 14 event. Since then, prosecutors have publicly identified two additional defendants, raising questions about why the event was allowed to proceed while investigators continued pursuing other alleged participants.

    5 CHILLING DETAILS FROM THE ALLEGED WHITE HOUSE ATTACK PLOT TIED TO UFC EVENT

    Raia said the additional defendants were “followers” rather than leaders of the conspiracy.

    “We were confident that we had the leaders, the main plotters of that, so the rest of the folks were more of the followers that you’re seeing now.”

    “There was a lot of security there,” Vice President JD Vance said during a June 16 appearance on Fox News’ “The Five.” “And it turns out the plot was like, not that advanced. They weren’t in town.”

Eskridge, Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, Bryan Omar Roa, Michael Alan Thomas and Tycen C. Proper.(Jacquelyn Martin- Pool/Getty Images)

    The issue reportedly sparked tensions between federal agencies.

    Two senior U.S. officials previously told Fox News that Secret Service leadership wanted to delay publicly disclosing the investigation until additional arrests could be made, fearing that revealing the probe could alert other subjects and complicate the ongoing case.

    Raia said the FBI did not share those concerns, arguing that investigators were already monitoring both the alleged ringleaders and other suspected participants.

    FBI NAMES SIXTH SUSPECT IN ALLEGED PLOT TO USE DRONES AND SNIPERS TO TARGET UFC FREEDOM 250 EVENT

    “We had that contained or what I would call mitigated very early on even though we didn’t do the arrests,” he said. “We were watching the folks that were planning it. We had them under surveillance. And so we knew that nobody was even close to the DC area at the time that was happening.”

    Despite reported disagreements over when to publicly disclose the investigation, Raia emphasized that the FBI and Secret Service worked closely throughout the case.

    “That was a joint case with us and the Secret Service,” Raia said.

    The agencies jointly assessed the threat before deciding the event could proceed, according to Raia.

    “We all talked about that as a group and made that decision to move forward with the UFC 250 event,” he told Fox News Digital.

    Deputy Secret Service Director Matthew Quinn, responding to questions about the case at an unrelated event, emphasized that the Secret Service had “led that investigation from the beginning” and suggested investigators intentionally avoided public disclosure while the case remained active.

    “In order to maintain the integrity of the investigation and the security plan we chose not to leak it,” Quinn said during a June 16 press conference.

    Raia, a career FBI agent and former head of the bureau’s New York Field Office, was appointed FBI co-deputy director in January after the departure of former Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Before leading the New York office, Raia served as one of the FBI’s top counterterrorism officials and has been with the bureau since 2003.

    According to court records, the alleged conspirators first connected through a TikTok community known as “Vanguard of the Old” before moving their discussions to encrypted messaging platforms including Signal, Telegram and SimpleX. Investigators say members organized themselves into tiered roles that included frontline operators, drone operators, recruiters, logistics personnel and technical support.

    Court records indicate the network extended well beyond the suspects initially charged. After obtaining a warrant for the phone of Ohio defendant Tycen Proper, investigators allegedly discovered a primary Signal chat containing approximately 19 participants, along with smaller operational chats organized by role and location.

    Raia said the case is far from closed: 14 to 15 FBI field offices are assisting in the investigation.

    “We’re going to continue to work that case aggressively,” he said. “You uncover one layer, and you see four more layers.”

    The case also underscored one of the FBI’s biggest investigative challenges: encrypted communications platforms.

    “That is a gap for us in encrypted communications platforms,” Raia said.

    Raia said investigators attempt to penetrate those networks through confidential human sources, undercover employees and other lawful investigative techniques.

    “We try to infiltrate, obviously, with CHSs, UCEs, again, inside the bounds of the Constitution,” he said, referring to “confidential human sources” and “undercover employees.”

    But Raia acknowledged the FBI does not have visibility into every encrypted chat where criminal activity may be occurring.

    In the UFC case, he pointed to Proper’s mother as the catalyst who helped investigators uncover the alleged conspiracy before it could advance further.

    “We had a concerned parent that really launched this entire UFC 250 case off,” Raia said. “Concerned parent called in on her son.”

    The tip ultimately led investigators to Proper’s phone and the alleged network of encrypted chats that prosecutors say contained discussions about drones, sniper positions, escape routes and attack planning. Without that initial call, Raia suggested, the alleged plot may have remained hidden inside encrypted platforms that continue to challenge law enforcement visibility.

    The UFC case also reflects what FBI officials say is a broader shift in the threat landscape. Rather than large, hierarchical terrorist organizations, investigators are increasingly concerned about lone actors and small groups that can organize online, acquire commercially available technology and develop attack plans with little outside support.

    “I’m less concerned about a mass 9/11 style attack than I am a lone single person, a single attacker,” he said.

    While discussing security preparations for the FIFA World Cup, he described drone-based attacks as one of the FBI’s top concerns and warned that tactics seen on battlefields overseas could eventually migrate to the United States.

    Investigators say they saw signs that the alleged network may have been considering targets beyond the White House UFC event.

    In a newly unsealed court filing, an FBI agent said he believed messages exchanged among alleged conspirators referenced a potential attack on a FIFA World Cup match scheduled for July 3 in Kansas City, Missouri.

    “I think that is a threat that is emerging,” Raia said. “We have seen that overseas, and it’s only a matter of time for somebody brings that type of attack, that threat vector here to the United States.”

    The alleged UFC plot illustrates many of those concerns. Prosecutors say the group allegedly used encrypted communications, divided members into specialized roles, discussed drone operations and coordinated activity across multiple states without relying on a traditional terrorist organization or foreign network.

    This story is part of Fox News Digital’s exclusive interview with FBI Deputy Director Chris Raia. Additional reporting from the interview will be published in the coming days.

    以色列前总理承认曾向伊朗走私星链助示威者

    2026年6月23日 21:19 / 联合早报

    伊朗当局曾数次切断公众的互联网接入，包括今年1月席卷全国的抗议活动，以及2月底开始的美伊战争期间。此前有报道称，一些伊朗人在断网期间转而使用星链服务。 （路透社）

    以色列前总理贝内特星期二（6月23日）承认，以色列曾向伊朗走私星链（Starlink），以帮助反政府示威者。但他说，现任总理内坦亚胡领导的政府未能落实相关计划。

    路透社报道，贝内特曾于2021年至2022年担任以色列总理，他在耶路撒冷举行的JNS国际政策峰会上向与会者表示，他曾启动一项采购并将数万台星链接收器走私入境伊朗的计划，以确保伊朗互联网和社交网络的持续运行。

    伊朗此前曾指责以色列和美国走私星链，以破坏其安全。星链并未获得在伊朗运营的许可，但马斯克此前曾说星链已在伊朗投入使用。

    贝内特说，走私星链的目的是帮助示威者协调行动，并最终推翻伊朗政府。

    “不幸的是，现任无能的以色列政府停止了这项工作。抗议发生时，基础设施还没到位。”

    伊朗当局曾数次切断公众的互联网接入，包括今年1月席卷全国的抗议活动，以及2月底开始的美伊战争期间。

    贝内特是右翼政党的领导人，他计划参加定于10月举行的大选。他说，以色列和其他中东国家需要“联合起来”，击退并最终推翻伊朗政府。

  • 科技股连续第二日下跌 此次抛售背后的原因是什么


    2026年6月23日 / 美国东部时间上午10:05 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    周二，科技股大规模抛售行情延续至第二个交易日，投资者开始质疑人工智能能否为 Alphabet、SpaceX 和英伟达等公司带来足以支撑其高昂估值的利润。

    开盘后，以科技股为主的纳斯达克综合指数下跌628点，跌幅2.4%，收于25537点。此次下跌标志着该指数连续第二日下滑，周一纳斯达克指数已收跌1.3%。

    道琼斯工业平均指数下跌305点，跌幅0.6%，报51407点；标准普尔500指数下跌1.6%。

    数月以来，华尔街一直看好科技股，在企业将数十亿美元投入人工智能领域、有望将这些投资转化为更快营收增长和更高利润的乐观情绪推动下，市场屡创历史新高。如今，投资者正要求获得更多证据，证明此类投入终将获得回报。

    周二，推动本轮市场上涨的多只科技股承压，市场疑虑情绪升温。

    金融咨询公司德维尔集团首席执行官奈杰尔·格林周二在一封电子邮件中表示：“长期以来，市场一直将人工智能投入视为绝对利好。如今投资者变得愈发挑剔，他们需要证据证明，前所未有的投入将转化为前所未有的利润。”

    大型科技股大幅下跌。SpaceX股价下跌4.09美元，跌幅2.7%，报150.51美元，该公司股价周一已暴跌16%。本月早些时候，SpaceX首次公开募股后投资者蜂拥买入，推动其股价在数日内突破200美元。

    不过，由于投资者担忧这家公司能否证明其超过2万亿美元的估值合理，该股已连续四个交易日下跌。

    全球影响

    科技股暴跌行情已蔓延至美国以外地区，韩国综合股价指数大跌10.0%，报8203.84点。韩国半导体行业面临更严格监管审查的迹象也加剧了市场的焦虑情绪。

    eToro公司美国投资与期权分析师布雷特·肯维尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，科技股的大范围疲软和全球波动正在拖累美国股市。周二，芯片制造商英伟达下跌3.4%，博通下跌2.4%。

    “Magnificent Seven”科技股指数成分股之一的 Alphabet 早盘也承压下跌1.2%。

    尽管股市抛售引发了大幅下跌，但格林表示，他认为市场并未陷入困境。

    “我们如今目睹的是投资者开始要求兑现证据，而非空泛承诺，”他说，“这种转变可能令人不适，但最终是健康的。”

    对利率的焦虑

    市场对今年晚些时候加息可能阻碍经济增长的担忧也日益加剧。美联储利率设定委员会上周为2026年上调借贷成本敞开了大门，此举旨在抑制伊朗冲突引发的数月油价上涨所推动的通胀加速势头。

    经济学家预测，美国政府将于周四公布的消费者通胀指标显示，5月通胀率从4月的3.8%升至4.1%。

    据芝加哥商品交易所集团的数据，交易员目前预计美联储在年底前至少加息一次的概率接近90%，而仅一周前这一概率为57%。

    A major tech selloff stretched into a second day Tuesday as investors questioned whether artificial intelligence will generate the profits that have fueled lofty valuations for companies such as Alphabet, SpaceX and Nvidia.

    After the opening bell, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slumped 628 points, or 2.4%, to 25,537. The decline marks a second day of losses, with the Nasdaq closing 1.3% lower on Monday.

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 305 points, or 0.6%, to 51,407 while the S&P 500 tumbled 1.6%.

    For months, Wall Street has embraced tech stocks, helping drive the market to record highs on optimism that companies pouring billions into AI would translate those investments into faster revenue growth and higher profits. Investors are now demanding more evidence that the spending will pay off.

    On Tuesday, several of the stocks that have powered the market’s rally came under pressure as skepticism grew.

    “For a long time, the market treated AI spending as unquestionably positive,” Nigel Green, CEO of the financial consultancy deVere Group, said in an email Tuesday. “Investors are now becoming more demanding. They want evidence that unprecedented spending will translate into unprecedented profits.”

    Major tech stocks fell sharply. SpaceX shares dropped $4.09, or 2.7%, to $150.51 after plunging 16% Monday. Earlier this month, investors piled into the stock after the company’s initial public offering, sending it above $200 within days.

    The stock, however, has slumped for four consecutive trading days as investors fret over whether the company can justify its valuation of more than $2 trillion.

    Global effects

    The tech rout spread beyond the U.S., with South Korea’s Kospi tumbling 10.0% to 8,203.84. Signs of greater regulatory scrutiny in the country’s semiconductor sector also added to the hand-wringing.

    Bret Kenwell, a U.S. investment and options Analyst at eToro, told CBS News that a broader weakness and global volatility in tech stocks is weighing on U.S. shares. On Tuesday, chip-maker Nvidia fell 3.4%, while Broadcom tumbled 2.4%.

    Alphabet, part of the Magnificent Seven, also came under pressure in early trading, falling 1.2%.

    While the stock sell-off ignited sharp declines, Green said he doesn’t believe markets are in trouble.

    “What we’re witnessing now is investors demanding proof instead of promises,” he said. “That shift can be uncomfortable, but it’s ultimately healthy.”

    Anxiety over interest rates

    Anxiety is also growing that rate hikes later this year could hamper growth. The Federal Reserve’s rate-setting committee last week opened the door to an increase in borrowing costs in 2026, as it seeks to keep a lid on accelerating inflation caused by months of rising oil prices caused by the Iran war.

    Economists are forecasting that a measure of inflation for U.S. consumers — due out Thursday from the government — sped up to 4.1% in May from 3.8% in April.

    Traders are betting on a nearly 90% chance the Fed will raise its federal funds rate at least once by the end of the year, up from the 57% chance seen just a week ago, according to data from CME Group.

  • 以色列前总理承认曾向伊朗走私星链助示威者

    以色列前总理贝内特星期二（6月23日）承认，以色列曾向伊朗走私星链（Starlink），以帮助反政府示威者。但他说，现任总理内坦亚胡领导的政府未能落实相关计划。

    路透社报道，贝内特曾于2021年至2022年担任以色列总理，他在耶路撒冷举行的JNS国际政策峰会上向与会者表示，他曾启动一项采购并将数万台星链接收器走私入境伊朗的计划，以确保伊朗互联网和社交网络的持续运行。

    伊朗此前曾指责以色列和美国走私星链，以破坏其安全。星链并未获得在伊朗运营的许可，但马斯克此前曾说星链已在伊朗投入使用。

    贝内特说，走私星链的目的是帮助示威者协调行动，并最终推翻伊朗政府。

    “不幸的是，现任无能的以色列政府停止了这项工作。抗议发生时，基础设施还没到位。”

    贝内特是右翼政党的领导人，他计划参加定于10月举行的大选。他说，以色列和其他中东国家需要“联合起来”，击退并最终推翻伊朗政府。

    “这是一个腐朽、陈旧、脱节、无能的政权，它会像苏联一样瓦解。”

  • 美国最高法院支持埃克森向古巴寻求赔偿


    2026-06-23T14:11:36.529Z / 路透社

    2015年12月30日，纽约证券交易所交易大厅的显示屏上显示着埃克森美孚公司的标识。路透社/卢卡斯·杰克逊/档案照片/档案照片 购买授权，打开新标签页

    • 埃克森就1960年被没收的财产寻求赔偿
    • 特朗普时期掀起美国对古巴诉讼浪潮
    • 埃克森依据美国《赫尔姆斯-伯顿法》提起诉讼
    • 特朗普政府在该案中支持埃克森

    华盛顿6月23日路透电——美国最高法院周二放宽了美国企业向古巴政府追索数十年前被前领导人菲德尔·卡斯特罗政府没收财产的赔偿门槛，就埃克森美孚（XOM.N，打开新标签页）起诉古巴国有企业西姆克斯公司（Corporación CIMEX）一案作出有利于埃克森美孚的裁决。

    法院以6票赞成、3票反对的表决结果认定，通常禁止美国起诉外国政府及其机构的“外国主权豁免”抗辩，在埃克森依据1996年美国《赫尔姆斯-伯顿法》对西姆克斯提起的诉讼中不适用。

    撰写该裁决意见的保守派大法官布雷特·卡瓦诺写道，这项已有30年历史的联邦法律“废除了古巴机构和实体的主权豁免权”。

    卡瓦诺在提及1976年《外国主权豁免法》时写道：“《赫尔姆斯-伯顿法》授权针对古巴机构和实体提起私人诉讼——如果适用《外国主权豁免法》的要求，这类诉讼大多会被驳回。”

    法院的六名保守派大法官构成多数派，三名自由派大法官对此裁决持反对意见。

    最高法院推翻了下级法院2024年的裁决，该裁决曾认定西姆克斯可以援引主权豁免抗辩。

    此次裁决消除了埃克森在2019年诉讼中面临的主要障碍。埃克森在诉讼中指控西姆克斯非法使用曾属于埃克森企业前身标准石油公司的一座炼油厂和多个加油站。该案将发回下级法院，就西姆克斯的潜在赔偿责任进行进一步审理。

    《赫尔姆斯-伯顿法》中的第三编条款允许在美国法院对任何在1959年卡斯特罗掌权的革命后被古巴共产党政府没收的财产进行“交易”的人提起诉讼。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府曾支持埃克森向最高法院提起上诉。

    美古紧张关系

    该裁决发布之际，美古关系正处于紧张时期。美国于5月20日对古巴前总统劳尔·卡斯特罗（菲德尔的弟弟）提起谋杀指控，这是特朗普政府对古巴施压运动的一次重大升级。

    在特朗普任期内，美国通过威胁对向古巴供应燃料的国家实施制裁，实际上对古巴实施了封锁，引发了停电状况，并加剧了古巴几十年来最严重的危机。

    埃克森的诉讼涉及菲德尔·卡斯特罗1959年没收该美国能源公司在古巴的全部油气资产，当时的损失估值为7000万美元。由于利息和潜在的加重赔偿，埃克森目前的索赔额现已超过10亿美元。

    据埃克森称，其资产被转移给了古巴最大的国有集团西姆克斯。西姆克斯至今仍持有并从被没收的财产中获利。

    埃克森的诉讼是2019年至2020年间约40起依据《赫尔姆斯-伯顿法》提起的诉讼中的一起，这源于特朗普第一任期内美国对古巴政策的转变。

    国会在通过《赫尔姆斯-伯顿法》时授权美国总统基于国家安全理由暂停第三编条款。此前三任总统为避免与加拿大、西班牙等在古巴有投资的盟友发生外交冲突，一直暂停实施该条款。特朗普于2019年解除了这项暂停令。

    下级法院的裁决此前曾使美国企业在这类案件中难以胜诉，大多数诉讼因管辖权或程序理由被驳回。

    邮轮纠纷

    此次裁决是最高法院今年就涉及《赫尔姆斯-伯顿法》和古巴的案件发布的两项裁决之一。

    另一项裁决于5月21日作出，对四家美国邮轮运营商不利。美国哈瓦那码头公司（Havana Docks Corporation）起诉这些运营商非法使用其建于古巴后被没收的码头，四家公司因此被合计判处4.4亿美元的赔偿，此次裁决推翻了下级法院驳回该判决的决定。

    最高法院搁置了下级法院对嘉年华（CCL.N，打开新标签页）、挪威邮轮控股（NCLH.N，打开新标签页）、皇家加勒比邮轮（RCL.N，打开新标签页）和地中海邮轮公司的判决，该判决原本应判给哈瓦那码头公司。最高法院的裁决将案件发回下级法院，由其审理邮轮运营商提出的其他抗辩理由。

    US Supreme Court boosts Exxon’s bid to get compensation from Cuba

    2026-06-23T14:11:36.529Z / Reuters

    The logo of Exxon Mobil Corporation is shown on a monitor above the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in New York, December 30, 2015. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson/File Photo/File Photo Purchase Licensing Rights, opens new tab

    • Summary
    • Companies
    • Exxon seeks compensation for property seized in 1960
    • Trump allowed wave of US lawsuits against Cuba
    • Exxon sued under US law called the Helms-Burton Act
    • Trump administration supported Exxon in case

    WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court made it easier on Tuesday for U.S. companies to seek compensation from Cuba’s government ​for property seized decades ago by former leader Fidel Castro’s government, ruling in favor of ExxonMobil

    (XOM.N), opens new tab
    in its lawsuit against Cuban state-owned firm ​Corporación CIMEX.

    In a 6-3 decision, the court said a legal defense called foreign sovereign immunity, which generally prohibits U.S. lawsuits against foreign governments and their agents, is not available in cases like the one Exxon brought against CIMEX under a 1996 U.S. law called the Helms-Burton Act.

    The Reuters Power Up newsletter provides everything you need to know about the global energy industry. Sign up here.

    Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who authored the ruling, wrote that the 30-year-old federal law “abrogates the sovereign immunity of Cuban agencies and instrumentalities.”

    “The ​Helms-Burton Act authorizes private suits against Cuban agencies and instrumentalities — suits that would largely be nonstarters if subjected to the FSIA’s requirements,” Kavanaugh wrote, referring ​to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976.

    The court’s six conservative justices were in the majority, while its three liberal justices dissented ⁠from the ruling.

    The Supreme Court reversed a lower court’s 2024 ruling that CIMEX could invoke the sovereign immunity defense.

    The decision removes a major obstacle Exxon faced in its ​2019 lawsuit that accused CIMEX of unlawfully using a refinery and service stations that once belonged to Standard Oil, Exxon’s corporate predecessor. The case will return to a lower court ​for further deliberations on CIMEX’s potential liability.

    A Helms-Burton Act provision called Title III permits lawsuits to be filed in U.S. courts against anyone who “traffics” in property confiscated by Cuba’s communist government after the 1959 revolution that brought Castro to power. U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration supported Exxon’s appeal to the Supreme Court.

    US-CUBA TENSIONS

    The ruling was issued at a rancorous time in U.S.-Cuban relations. The United States on ​May 20 brought murder charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro, Fidel’s younger brother, in a major escalation in Trump’s pressure campaign against Cuba’s government.

    Under Trump, the United States has ​effectively imposed a blockade on Cuba by threatening sanctions on countries supplying it with fuel, triggering power outages and exacerbating its worst crisis in decades.

    Exxon’s suit involved Fidel Castro’s confiscation of all ​of the ⁠U.S. energy company’s Cuban oil and gas assets in 1959, which represented a loss valued at $70 million at the time. Exxon’s current claim is now valued at more than $1 billion because of interest and the potential for enhanced damages.

    According to Exxon, its assets were transferred to CIMEX, Cuba’s largest state-owned conglomerate. CIMEX continues to hold and profit from the confiscated property.

    Exxon’s lawsuit was part of a flood of about 40 cases filed under the Helms-Burton Act in 2019 and 2020 because of a change in U.S. policy toward ​Cuba during Trump’s first term in office.

    When it ​passed the Helms-Burton Act, Congress authorized ⁠the U.S. president to suspend Title III on national security grounds. The provision was then suspended by three presidents seeking to avoid diplomatic conflicts with allies like Canada and Spain whose companies have invested in Cuba. Trump lifted that suspension in 2019.

    Lower court rulings ​had made it difficult for U.S. companies to prevail in such cases, with most lawsuits being dismissed on jurisdictional or ​procedural grounds.

    CRUISE DISPUTE

    The decision ⁠was one of two issued by the Supreme Court this year in cases involving the Helms-Burton Act and Cuba.

    In the other case, the court delivered a setback on May 21 to four American cruise operators that contested $440 million in combined judgments in litigation brought by a U.S. company called Havana Docks Corporation accusing them of unlawfully using docks in Cuba that it built ⁠and were ​later seized.

    The justices set aside a lower court’s decision to throw out the judgments against Carnival

  • 法国报告40起溺水死亡事件，欧洲遭热浪侵袭


    2026-06-23T10:20:00-0400 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    过去一周，法国记录了40起溺水死亡事件，因民众纷纷下水游泳，以期缓解酷暑热浪带来的燥热。周二，欧洲数百万民众面临极端高温天气，酷热难耐的状况持续重创法国，尤其严重。

    法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔努表示，自上周四以来溺亡的40人大多为年轻人。

    “在热浪期间，在无人看管的区域游泳绝非小事一桩，”法国体育与青年部长玛丽娜·法拉利在接受法国电台采访时说道，据哥伦比亚广播公司的合作媒体英国广播公司新闻报道。

    极端天气预计至少将持续至本周末，许多城镇的日间最高气温将超过104华氏度。

    在这个尚未普及空调的国家，学校、公共交通和体育赛事都受到了影响。在巴黎，埃菲尔铁塔为应对酷热天气调整了运营时间，改为下午闭馆，而非往常的深夜闭馆。

    法国国家气象局法国气象厅表示：“预计将出现更多破纪录的高温，其中一些可能打破所有以往纪录，无论在一年中的哪个时节。”

    周二，法国全境将全天维持高温天气。法国气象厅将法国约半数的54个省置于红色热浪预警之下。

    据英国广播公司新闻报道，周一法国创下了6月份有记录以来的最热单日纪录，周一晚间更是创下了有史以来最热夜晚的纪录。

    与此同时，其他几个欧洲国家也在应对酷暑高温，包括意大利、西班牙和英国。据英国广播公司新闻报道，西班牙的气温预计将达到或超过104华氏度，该国大片地区发布了红色预警。

    人为造成的气候变化与日益极端的天气息息相关，联合国气候机构的预测显示，未来五年将打破更多高温纪录。

    此次热浪异常猛烈，且来得极早，“但持续时间尚不确定”，气象局说道。此次热浪已被拿来与2003年8月的热浪相提并论，当时半个多世纪以来的最高气温导致约1.5万人死亡，其中许多是住在没有空调的公寓和养老院的老年人。

    根据欧盟哥白尼气候变化服务中心的数据，欧洲是全球变暖最快的大陆，自20世纪80年代以来，气温上升速度是全球平均水平的两倍。世界卫生组织欧洲办事处本月表示，在过去四年中，欧洲各地有超过20万人死于与高温相关的原因，其中大多数死亡本可以避免。

    高于平均水平的气温可能引发热衰竭和危及生命的中暑。

    在法国英吉利海峡对岸，英国多所学校宣布当日停课，火车服务也受到干扰。英国气象局周三和周四发布了红色极端高温预警，预报显示6月的单日最高气温纪录可能被打破。

    英格兰南部预计气温将达到约98.6华氏度，威尔士东南部最高可达95华氏度。热浪峰值现在预计在周三和周四，届时最高气温可能至少达到102.2华氏度。英国气象局表示，到周五天气预计将有所缓解。

    周二，英国多家铁路运营商宣布取消列车服务，以“确保铁路运营安全”。运营铁路基础设施的英国国家铁路呼吁民众在周三和周四“若非绝对必要，请勿出行”。

    在欧洲大陆更南端，伊比利亚半岛多个地区正遭遇热浪侵袭。

    西班牙国家气象局西班牙国家气象研究所周二发布红色预警，南部安达卢西亚地区气温将达到111华氏度，同时向通常气候温和的坎塔布里亚和巴斯克地区（位于其北部大西洋沿岸）发出气温将达到104华氏度的预警。

    西班牙国家气象研究所气象学家鲁文·德尔坎波表示，近年来西班牙夏季愈发炎热，由于气候变化，热浪变得更加频繁、持续时间更长，且不再局限于传统的7月和8月，西班牙只会变得更热。

    德尔坎波表示，自1975年西班牙国家气象研究所开始记录以来，6月份出现的十余次热浪中，有一半发生在2015年之后。

    他说，人为驱动的气候变化正在使西班牙上空及周边海域的大气升温。

    欧盟监测机构哥白尼中心发现，2024年是欧洲乃至全球有记录以来最热的一年，欧洲的“热应激”天数达到了第二高。

    科学家警告称，气候变化加剧了高温和干旱的发生频率和强度，在东南欧尤其如此，使该地区更容易受到健康影响和野火的侵袭。

    40 drowning deaths reported in France as Europe swelters in heat wave

    2026-06-23T10:20:00-0400 / CBS News

    There were 40 deaths from drowning recorded in France over the last week, as people turned to swimming in hopes of finding relief from a scorching heat wave. Millions across Europe faced extreme temperatures on Tuesday, and sweltering conditions continued to hit France particularly hard.

    The 40 people who died by drowning since last Thursday were mainly young people, French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said.

    “It’s not something to be taken lightly, going swimming in unsupervised areas during a heat wave,” said French Sports and Youth Minister Marina Ferrari, CBS partner BBC News reported, citing an interview with French radio.

    Extreme conditions are expected to last at least until the end of the week, with daytime highs above 104 degrees Fahrenheit in many towns.

    In a country without widespread air conditioning, schools, public transportation and sporting events have been impacted. In Paris, the Eiffel Tower adjusted its operations for the scorching weather, closing in the afternoon instead of late at night as it usually does.

    “Further record-breaking temperatures are expected, including some that could surpass all previous records, regardless of the time of year,” Meteo France, the national weather service, said.

    Temperatures on Tuesday will remain high around the clock in France. Meteo France placed 54 departments, about half the country, under a red heat wave alert.

    France experienced its hottest day on record for the month of June on Monday, as well as its hottest night ever on Monday night, reported BBC News.

    Meanwhile, several other European countries were also contending with searing heat, including Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. In Spain, temperatures were expected to peak at 104 degrees Fahrenheit, or higher, and red alerts were issued across large sections of the country, according to BBC News.

    Human-caused climate change is tied to increasingly extreme weather, and U.N. climate agency projections say the next five years should shatter more heat records.

    The heat wave is exceptionally intense, coming very early in the summer, “but with a still uncertain duration,” the weather service said. It has already been compared to the August 2003 heat wave, when the highest temperatures in over half a century caused an estimated 15,000 deaths, many of them among older people in apartments and retirement homes without air conditioning.

    Europe is the world’s fastest-warming continent, with temperatures increasing twice as fast as the global average since the 1980s, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. Over the last four years, more than 200,000 people across Europe died from heat-related causes, and most of those deaths were preventable, the World Health Organization’s Europe office said this month.

    The above-average temperatures can cause heat exhaustion and life-threatening heat stroke.

    Across the English Channel from France, many British schools said they were closing for the day and trains were disrupted as the Met Office, the U.K. weather agency, issued a red extreme heat warning for Wednesday and Thursday, with forecasts suggesting June’s all-time daily temperature record could be broken.

    Temperatures of around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit are expected in southern England, with up to 95 degrees in southeast Wales. The peak of the heat wave is now forecast for Wednesday and Thursday, when highs could reach at least 102.2 degrees. Conditions are expected to ease by Friday, the Met Office said.

    On Tuesday, multiple train operators across the U.K. said they were canceling train services to “ensure the safe operation of the railway.” National Rail, which operates the railway infrastructure, urged people to “only travel if absolutely necessary” on Wednesday and Thursday.

    Further south on the continent, Spain is facing a heat wave across various parts of the Iberian Peninsula.

    Spain’s national weather service, Aemet, issued red alerts Tuesday for temperatures of 111 degrees Fahrenheit in southern Andalusia as well as warnings of thermometers hitting 104 degrees in the normally temperate Cantabria and the Basque Country regions along its northern Atlantic coast.

    Aemet meteorologist Rubén del Campo said Spain, which has experienced increasingly torrid summers of late, is only going to get hotter because of climate change as heat waves become more frequent, longer and appear outside the traditional window of July and August.

    Of the dozen heat waves Aemet has recorded in the month of June since it started tracking them in 1975, half have occurred since 2015, del Campo said.

    Human-driven climate change is heating up the atmosphere, both above Spain and in the surrounding sea waters, he said.

    Copernicus, the EU monitoring agency, found that in Europe and globally, 2024 was the hottest year on record and the continent experienced its second-highest number of “heat stress” days.

    Scientists warn that climate change is exacerbating the frequency and intensity of heat and dryness, especially in southeastern Europe, making the region more vulnerable to health impacts and wildfires.
