Safety Wars – June 16, 2026: US-Iran Ceasefire Deal, Nyack Tunnel Girls, and Rising Antisemitism In this episode of Safety Wars, host Jim Poesl covers three main topics. First, he breaks down the emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding, walking through a 12-point framework reported by the New York Post and Al Arabiya that outlines a ceasefire, temporary sanctions relief, Strait of Hormuz passage guarantees, and a 60-day negotiation window. He notes mixed reactions from Iranian dissidents, Israeli officials, and G7 leaders, and raises questions about whether Iran — despite devastating losses — has come out politically stronger. Second, Jim discusses the incident where 71 Hasidic schoolgirls from Monsey walked half a mile through a storm drainage tunnel in Nyack, New York, emerging at a local restaurant. He examines the safety hazards involved — confined space, atmospheric risks, and flash flood danger — while noting the group lacked a permit. Finally, he addresses the wave of antisemitic comments that flooded social media following the incident, condemning it as reflective of deeper community prejudices. The episode closes with a report on an alleged explosive drone plot targeting a UFC event in Washington, DC, disrupted by the FBI. Music: Falling, 25821615, Eric B.
