Reported Sunday, Wolfspeed Initiates Pre-Packaged Restructuring With Lender Support, Targeting 70% Debt Reduction And Enhanced Profitability By 3QCY25

Former Vice President&nbsp;Mike Pence&nbsp;has lauded President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;for his stern measures to thwart Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions, enhancing the security of the United States,&nbsp;Israel, and the free world.
What Happened: In an interview with Fox News&#8217;s Martha MacCallum on Sunday, Pence lauded the U.S. military&#8217;s courage and professionalism in executing the historic mission, which he sees as a continuation of the Trump administration&#8217;s firm policies in his first term. These policies include withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal and targeting key figures like Qassem Soleimani in the past, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le2TPzUfMEY">reported</a> Fox News.
Although Pence had previously disagreed with Trump and chose not to endorse him for the 2024 election, he voiced steadfast pride in the President's bold move. He underscored that Trump's ultimatum to Iran—calling for the dismantling of its uranium enrichment program—reflected the kind of &#8220;decisive leadership&#8221; Americans expect.
&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t be more proud of President Trump&#8217;s decisive leadership in this moment or the extraordinary professionalism and courage of our armed forces that brought about this historic mission,&#8221; stated Pence

Israel&#8217;s coordinated&nbsp;strikes and U.S. defensive support&nbsp;were seen as a strategic opportunity, underscoring America&#8217;s steadfast alliance with Israel. Pence credited Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;national security team and the U.S. Armed Forces, for the thoughtful execution of the mission.
Reflecting on the ongoing bomb damage assessments, Pence suggested that this mission could reshape the Middle East and significantly hinder Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions, potentially advancing peace in the region.

Why It Matters: The recent interview with Pence comes in the wake of the U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, which Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">announced</a>&nbsp;as a &#8216;spectacular military success&#8217;.

Meanwhile, tech analyst&nbsp;Dan Ives&nbsp;has&nbsp;interpreted the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46045276/dan-ives-says-iran-threat-is-in-rear-view-mirror-calls-it-positive-for-the-middle-east-and-the-tech-sector"> recent events</a> in Iran&nbsp;as a positive turning point, particularly for the tech sector. He believes that the markets will view the Iran threat as now gone, which is positive for growth in the broader Middle East and ultimately the tech sector.

China&#8217;s permanent representative to the United Nations condemned the United States on Sunday for conducting precision strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, warning of escalating Middle East tensions during an emergency Security Council meeting.
What Happened: Fu Cong, China&#8217;s UN envoy, said the Saturday strikes on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites violated international law and Iran&#8217;s sovereignty. &#8220;China strongly condemns the U.S. attacks on Iran and the bombing of nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency,&#8221; Fu stated, <a href="https://english.news.cn/20250623/2622712cde5f46e8a8ff0700199c1469/c.html">according</a> to Xinhua News Agency.
The strikes involved seven B-2 Spirit bombers from Northrop Grumman Corp. operating from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, completing the longest bomber mission since 2001. Defense markets responded positively, with Northrop Grumman shares surging 5.28% to $524.00 in overnight <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46045651/northrop-grumman-jumps-5-overnight-as-b-2-bombers-return-to-missouri-after-36-hour-iran-strike-trump-says-job-well-done">trading on extended-hours platforms</a>.
President Donald Trump announced the &#8220;spectacular military success&#8221; via Truth Social, stating the objective was &#8220;destruction of Iran&#8217;s nuclear enrichment capacity.&#8221; The operation utilized Massive Ordnance Penetrator bunker-buster weapons and involved over 125 U.S. aircraft in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">the 36-hour mission</a>.
Fu warned that the strikes &#8220;exacerbated tensions in the Middle East and dealt a heavy blow to the international nuclear non-proliferation regime.&#8221; China, Russia and Pakistan proposed a Security Council draft resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire and civilian protection.
&#8220;The parties to the conflict, Israel in particular, should immediately cease fire to prevent a spiraling escalation and to resolutely avoid the spillover of the war,&#8221; Fu said.

Why It Matters: The State Department issued worldwide travel advisories following the strikes, with Iran&#8217;s parliament voting to authorize the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/travel/25/06/46045416/us-issues-worldwide-caution-after-strikes-on-irans-nuclear-sites-state-department-warns-of-airspace-closures-travel-chaos-and-rising-threats-to-americans-abroad">handles 20% of global petroleum transit</a>.

Financial guru Robert Kiyosaki issued a stark warning about a potential global monetary collapse Sunday, advising followers to invest in gold, silver, and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: Kiyosaki, the best-selling author of &#8220;Rich Dad Poor Dad,&#8221; took to X, predicting a global debt bubble burst. 
&#8220;I recommend owning gold, silver, and BITCOIN if you want to be richer when the Global Debt Bubble bursts,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;BIGGEST LOSERS will be savers of fake fiat money and especially bonds.&#8221;

While Kiyosaki has been a strong advocate of Bitcoin, his predictions should be taken with a pinch of salt. He projected Bitcoin would hit $100,000 in June 2024.

Frederick Smith, founder and executive chairman of FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>), died from natural causes on Saturday in Memphis, Tennessee. He was 80.
What Happened: Smith&#8217;s death marks the end of an era for the $84 billion global logistics giant he built from a Yale economics thesis into the world&#8217;s largest express transportation company. 
The Mississippi-born entrepreneur launched Federal Express in 1973 with 14 Dassault Falcon jets and $4 million in family inheritance. That first night, the company delivered 186 packages to 25 cities. Today, FedEx moves $2 trillion in goods annually across 220 countries, employing over 500,000 workers and processing 17 million daily shipments.
Smith&#8217;s military background shaped his leadership philosophy. The Marine Corps veteran served two Vietnam tours as a rifle platoon leader and company commander, earning the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and two Purple Hearts. He often credited the Marines with providing his &#8220;business degree.&#8221;
His overnight delivery concept, conceived at Yale in the 1960s, revolutionized global commerce by enabling just-in-time manufacturing and e-commerce growth. The integrated air-ground network model became the industry standard.
Smith stepped down as CEO in 2022 after serving as one of the longest-tenured Fortune 100 leaders, transitioning to executive chairman while maintaining strategic oversight. Current CEO Raj Subramaniam called Smith a &#8220;pioneer who connected the world and shaped global commerce.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Beyond business, Smith co-chaired the World War II Memorial project and National Museum of the Marine Corps campaign. His philanthropic efforts included substantial donations to St. Jude Children&#8217;s Research Hospital and Memphis community development.
Tech leaders mourned Smith&#8217;s passing. Microsoft Corporation CEO Satya Nadella praised his &#8220;vision and relentless drive to innovate.&#8221; Salesforce Inc. CEO Marc Benioff called him &#8220;a gentle, kind, and brilliant giant of business.&#8221;

FedEx Founder Fred Smith Dies At 80: Marine Veteran, WWII Memorial Champion And Visionary CEO Mourned By Satya Nadella, Marc Benioff

B-2 Spirit bombers safely returned to Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri following a 36-hour mission that struck <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">three Iranian nuclear facilities</a>, the White House confirmed Sunday. Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) shares surged 5.28% to $524.00 in overnight trading on Robinhood&#8217;s 24-hour service.
What Happened: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the operation &#8220;historic,&#8221; marking the longest B-2 mission since 2001 and the first operational use of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP). 
Seven B-2 bombers were launched from the continental United States and struck the Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities between 6:40 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. Eastern time Saturday.
&#8220;Our B-2s went in and out of these nuclear sites without the world knowing at all,&#8221; Hegseth said, praising the operation&#8217;s operational security and precision timing.
The mission involved deception tactics, with part of the strike package flying west into the Pacific as a decoy while the main force proceeded east with minimal communications. Each bomber carried two crew members and completed multiple in-flight refuelings during the 18-hour flight to target areas.

Why It Matters: More than 125 U.S. aircraft participated, including stealth bombers, fighters, refueling tankers, and a guided missile submarine.
President Donald Trump announced the &#8220;spectacular military success&#8221; via Truth Social Saturday evening, stating the objective was &#8220;destruction of Iran&#8217;s nuclear enrichment capacity.&#8221; The strikes followed Iran&#8217;s withdrawal from scheduled negotiations and refusal to engage in nuclear talks.
&#8220;The great B-2 pilots have just landed, safely, in Missouri. Thank you for a job well done!&#8221; Trump wrote. 
Northrop Grumman is showing strong momentum and a consistent upward price trend across short-, medium-, and long-term timeframes, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings.

Northrop Grumman Jumps 5% Overnight As B-2 Bombers Return To Missouri After 36-Hour Iran Strike: Trump Says 'Job Well Done'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has officially launched the Robotaxi in Austin as the self-driving taxi race in the U.S. shifts into gear.
What Happened: The rollout, which was a small-scale event with over 10 Tesla Model Y Robotaxis, took place in Austin's South Congress neighborhood on Sunday.
The event was invite-only and Tesla created a dedicated app for the riders, who were mostly social media influencers, to book rides similar to other ride-hailing apps like Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>).
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Tesla also had safety monitors seated in the front seat during the rides. The safety monitors were Tesla employees overseeing the operations, though there were no confirmations about how much control they had, given that the Robotaxi was operating on Unsupervised FSD.
The EV giant&#8217;s CEO, Elon Musk, took to social media to hail the launch on the social media platform X on Sunday. Musk called the launch a "culmination of a decade of hard work" in his post and shared that both the AI Chip, as well as the software team responsible for the Robotaxi, "were built from scratch within Tesla."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The launch comes in as Tesla has been teasing the company's arrival in the self-driving taxis sector to take on players like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo as well as Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Zoox.
While Waymo had announced its expansion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45988738/tesla-robotaxi-rival-waymo-expands-services-in-california-amid-us-autonomous-vehicle-push">into more parts</a> of California and the company is also conducting trials in other parts of the U.S., Zoox <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46011055/amazon-backed-zoox-launches-california-robotaxi-plant-tesla-rival-targets-10000-vehicles-a-year">set up a second production facility</a> in California, which could help the company scale its Robotaxi operations.
Tesla, meanwhile, has been under the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041090/tesla-faces-safety-questions-from-regulators-ahead-of-robotaxi-launch-in-austin">scrutiny of safety regulators</a> in the U.S. as the NHTSA has been reviewing the company's responses to the questions posed by the agency over FSD's performance in poor weather conditions.
Musk had previously also stated that Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46019450/elon-musk-says-tesla-works-closely-with-xai-you-can-either-be-a-spectator">is working closely </a>with the billionaire's AI venture, xAI, to collaborate and develop robotics as well as autonomous driving.

Tesla Launches Robotaxi In Austin: Elon Musk Calls It A 'Culmination Of A Decade Of Hard Work'

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor hinted at more Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) purchases Sunday, despite the apex cryptocurrency's dip below $100,000 due to escalating Middle East tensions.
What happened: Saylor posted a chart that tracks the company&#8217;s Bitcoin purchases on X, with the caption, &#8220;Nothing Stops This Orange.&#8221;

The total value of the stash was worth nearly $60 billion as of this writing, marking an unrealized gain of 43%.
Peter Schiff, economist and vocal Bitcoin critic, weighed in, asking who else is "buying the dip below $100k?"

Strategy's Michael Saylor Signals No Halt To Bitcoin Purchases Despite Plunge Below $100,000: Peter Schiff Asks Who Else Is Buying The Dip

South Korea is preparing to confront U.S. officials over potential restrictions on chipmakers operating in China.
What Happened: Ahead of the third round of tariff talks in Washington this week, South Korean Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo said he will raise industry concerns over possible U.S. curbs that could hurt Korean semiconductor firms in China, reported Reuters.
&#8220;I will pass on the concerns among those in the industry and take utmost care,&#8221; Yeo told reporters before departing for Washington on Sunday.
The talks were originally expected to conclude with a trade agreement by July 8, but Yeo indicated that the deadline may slip due to political and economic uncertainties in the U.S., the report added.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Seoul is currently subject to a 10% blanket tariff, with an additional 25% country-specific duty temporarily suspended for 90 days.
Yeo, who was appointed this month by newly elected President Lee Jae Myung, also plans to meet officials at the White House and U.S. Congress to discuss multiple trade issues, including a U.S. request for South Korea to relax its restrictions on American beef imports.
South Korean chipmakers, including Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) and SK Hynix, rely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46028133/sk-hynix-gen-memory-big-techs-ai-push-prioritizes-nvidia">heavily on Chinese operations</a> and new U.S. policies could upend their supply chains.
Earlier this month, it was reported SK Hynix has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46028133/sk-hynix-gen-memory-big-techs-ai-push-prioritizes-nvidia">secured custom high-bandwidth</a> memory (HBM) orders from Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).

South Korea May Delay US Trade Deal Over Threats To Its China-Based Chipmakers

The State Department issued a Worldwide Caution Security alert on Sunday, advising U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution as the Israel-Iran conflict disrupts regional travel and threatens American interests globally.
What Happened: The escalation follows Saturday&#8217;s U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, which President Donald Trump described as having &#8220;totally obliterated&#8221; key sites. 
Ben Gurion Airport remains closed with no scheduled commercial flights operating. The State Department has initiated assisted departure flights for U.S. citizens and permanent residents from Israel, directing travelers to complete crisis intake forms at mytravel.state.gov. 
Land crossings to Jordan operate with extended delays, while Egypt&#8217;s Taba crossing remains open 24 hours daily.
Iranian airspace closure forces departures through Azerbaijan, Armenia, or Turkey. U.S.-Iranian dual nationals must exit on Iranian passports and face potential questioning at checkpoints, as Iran doesn&#8217;t recognize dual citizenship.

Why It Matters: Iran&#8217;s parliament voted Sunday to authorize the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the world&#8217;s most critical oil shipping chokepoint, handling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46044009/us-iran-tensions-escalate-as-iran-threatens-hormuz-closure-potentially-rattling-global-oil-markets">roughly 20% of global petroleum liquids</a> transit. While largely symbolic, the vote grants Iran&#8217;s Supreme National Security Council authority to proceed with the measure.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043406/us-vs-iran-irans-foreign-minister-heads-to-moscow-accuses-us-of-derailing-nuclear-talks">traveled to Moscow for a meeting</a> with Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing Washington of derailing nuclear negotiations. Tehran condemned U.S. actions as crossing &#8220;a very big red line&#8221; while asserting its right to defend &#8220;by all means necessary.&#8221;
The Swiss Protecting Power office in Tehran remains closed, leaving Americans in Iran without consular assistance during the crisis.
