Iranian stock market -- reports
historic trade as shares surge
May 30th, 2:07pm
(PressTV)
Iran's stock market reports a first-ever
period of growth.......... for all shares.
The Iranian stock market has witnessed - an historic, all-out
surge in trading across all listed shares, driven by positive
news that companies and businesses may resume or
expand operations following a halt caused by the
US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
Tasnim news agency reported on Saturday that during a
portion of the trading hours at Tehran Stock Exchange
earlier in the day, no single trading index offered by
companies for their shares was in a negative zone
– a first in the history of the Iranian stock market.
"Today --- the capital market experienced one of its most
unique trading days," the report said, adding that even
veteran traders at the TSE --- described the situation
as unprecedented.
According to the report, the best performers on Saturday
were the National Iranian Copper Company and iron ore
mines located in central and southeast Iran, followed
by banks and the state-run life insurance company.
Improved investor expectations, increased optimism about
economic and political stability, and an influx of liquidity
into the stock market were cited as the main reasons
behind the exceptional and historic surge.
However, experts are waiting to see how the TSE performs
in the coming days, and whether it can truly recover after
weeks of stagnation caused by the military tensions
surrounding Iran, the report added.
The growth in Iran's local stock market comes amid reports
that Iran and the US have moved closer to signing an initial
deal aimed at .....ending US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
According to the reports, under the deal, the US would commit
to withdrawing its forces from regional waters surrounding
Iran and lifting a maritime blockade imposed on the
country, in return for Iran gradually easing its
restrictions on cargo transit through the
Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.

IRGC Navy: 20 commercial ships transit
Hormuz in 24 hours ---- after obtaining
permission
May 30th, 1:55pm
(PressTV)
The IRGC Navy has announced: that 20 commercial vessels
transited the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours after
obtaining permission and coordinating with the force.
Speaking to the Iranian State Broadcaster (IRIB) in Hormozgan
Province, the IRGC Navy's Public Relations Office said that 20
commercial ships transited the strategic waterway during
the last day ...following coordination with the force.
The IRGC Navy emphasized that: "intelligent control and
monitoring of the Strait of Hormuz is being carried out
with full authority, and any violation will be met with
a crushing response."
Early this month, Iran officially launched a new mechanism
for governing maritime traffic through the strategic Strait
of Hormuz.
Under the newly implemented system, which Press TV first
reported, all vessels intending to transit the Strait will
receive an email from the official address
info@PGSA.ir outlining the rules and
regulations for passage.
Iran shut down the Strait to its enemies and their allies
after the illegal, unprovoked US-Israeli aggression.
The Iranian authorities began enforcing much stricter
controls following US President Donald Trump’s
announcement of a ''blockade'' ..targeting
Iranian vessels and ports.
Tehran says the measures - violate the terms of a
Pakistan-brokered ceasefire that took effect on
April 8 and was later extended - unilaterally -
by Washington.
The Strait of Hormuz is responsible for a fifth of the
global oil supply, and Iran’s restrictions have
caused a major surge in international oil
and commodity prices.... since they
were imposed in April.
Iran says it is ready to gradually reopen the strait - if
it receives concrete guarantees about a permanent
end to US-Israeli aggression and the lifting of all
Washington’s sanctions and the blockade of
the country.
However, the authorities have indicated that the
situation in the strait will never return to what
it was before the war - and that restrictions
and bans will continue to be applied to
ships owned by, or linked to,
hostile regimes.

Israeli forces push deeper into
southern Lebanon, warn
residents to leave
May 30th, 1:38pm
(PressTV)
Israeli occupation forces have significantly expanded
their military aggression in southern Lebanon,
advancing deeper into territory north
of the Litani River.
The occupation forces have also issued a new wave
of displacement orders to residents in southern
Lebanon, and escalated the war against
the people of Lebanon - despite an
existing ceasefire agreement.
According to reports on Saturday, Israeli troops have
pushed beyond the towns of Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh
and Mayfadoun, and are now positioned on the
outskirts of Choukine, whose residents were
ordered to evacuate on Friday.
The expanded offensive, which has been underway for
several days, has intensified notably over the past
48 hours.
Israeli forces have also advanced northward along a
strategic ridgeline overlooking the Litani River. The
elevated terrain, which rises approximately 900
metres above sea level, overlooks the city of
Marjayoun and the S. Eastern approaches
to Nabatieh.
Further east - Israeli troops have reportedly moved north
of the town of Dibbine, an area considered a stronghold
of the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah.
Israel claims the offensive is intended to push Hezbollah
forces farther away from the border and reduce the
“threat” posed by continued cross-border attacks
targeting the northern and central areas of
''Israeli'' territory.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military issued another forced
displacement order on Friday, directing residents of
six southern Lebanese villages -- Marwaniyah,
Lubya, Midoun, Ansariyah, Zafta & Teffahta
-- to immediately leave their homes and
move north of the Zahrani River.
In a post on his X account, Israeli military Arabic-
language spokesman Avichay Adraee warned
residents that remaining near Hezbollah
personnel, facilities or military
equipment - would place
their lives at risk.
The latest evacuation notice - marked the third displacement
order issued by Israel in southern Lebanon on the same day.
Earlier warnings were directed at residents of Jdeidet Ansar,
Zrariyeh, Mazraat Kauthariyet el-Rez, Mashgharah,
Mayfadoun, Choukine and Zebdine.
Despite a ceasefire intended to curb hostilities along
the Israel-Lebanon border, tensions have continued
to escalate. Ongoing exchanges of fire between
Hezbollah and Israeli forces, combined with
Israel’s expanding ground attacks and
repeated evacuation orders, have
heightened concerns... about
a broader escalation in
southern Lebanon.
Israel has continued its attacks on Lebanon,
despite a ceasefire that took effect on April
17 and was ....extended for 45 days.
Since March 2nd, Israel has been conducting an
expanded offensive on Lebanon -- killing more
than 3,355 people, injuring over 10,100, and
displacing over 1.6 million individuals.
