[A]

Optimism after US Iran talks. I'm Dave Anthony, FOX News.

[B]

We made a lot of good progress. We did exactly what we wanted to do.

[A]

Vice President Vance a short time ago at the Lake Lucerne resort in Switzerland where the negotiations took place. He says that includes nuclear progress and the push to prevent Iran from having weapons.

[B]

We and this is probably what we're most excited about as Americans. The Iranians have agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back into their country.

[A]

As for another big part of the conflict, oil and other shipping, we wanted

[B]

to build a mechanism for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. It is open.

[A]

But Fox's Jonathan Savage reports it was

[C]

not all smooth sailing. Iranian state media said negotiations were paused after what it called an insulting message from President Trump. He posted on social media, we'll hit Iran very hard if the Iranians don't stop proxies causing trouble in Lebanon. Technical level talks will continue through the week.

[A]

Now, Hezbollah and Israel did not attack each other yesterday. For the first time in months, Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer resign.

[D]

Every decision I've taken has been about putting the country I love first.

[A]

President Trump had been critical of Starmer over immigration policy and for Britain, not helping the US With Iran. On top of that, you've had local

[C]

elections in which the Labour Party were decimated by a lot of other parties, by reform in particular. And of course, you had Peter Mandelson, who was the man that Keir Starmer picked to become ambassador to America. And it turned out he had close relationships with Jeffrey Epstein.

[A]

Starmer will stay on until there's a new prime minister. And Fox's Benjamin hall also reports as a frontrunner.

[C]

Already, Andy Burnham, who is the mayor of Manchester, finally won a seat in Parliament and he is widely considered to be the next contender.

[A]

A famous economist has died. Alan Greenspan was chairman of the Federal Reserve almost 20 years. From President Reagan to George W. Bush, his wife, famous journalist Andrea Mitchell, put out a statement that Greenspan died at their home this morning of complications of Parkinson's disease. He was 100 years old.

Now that summer has arrived, the Supreme Court is winding down its term with fewer than 20 cases left to decide. We'll get more rulings this week, some of them high profile.

[E]

One pending case will determine whether to uphold the president's executive order ending birthright citizenship. Executive power is at the heart of several other cases, including the president's ability to fire agency, board or commission members. One case involves the firing of an FTC commissioner. The other involves the attempted firing of a Federal Reserve Board governor. The justices also heard a case that will determine the circumstances by which an administration can end temporary protected status for a group of migrants. Another case involves whether states can have rules that ban transgender athletes from women's and girls sports. And yet another case pertains to how long states can accept mail in ballots after Election Day. Jessica Rosenthal, FOX NEWS on Wall Street
