YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) President Donald Trump insisted that freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz be part of any deal to end the Middle East war and escalated threats to obliterate key Iranian infrastructure if his terms aren’t met before a Tuesday deadline.

(2) By warning that the US would deliberately bomb civilian infrastructure in Iran and effectively bring the country to its knees if officials there don’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump drew criticism that he was threatening to commit war crimes. His comments also raised questions about whether he could ever be punished for such conduct.

(3) Britain will host a meeting of allied military officers to discuss plans for securing the Strait of Hormuz as Donald Trump’s deadline for Iran to reopen the waterway looms.

(4) Five European Union members urged the bloc to tax windfall profits energy ​companies are reaping as a result of the US-Israeli war on Iran.

(5) Rivals OpenAI, Anthropic PBC, and Alphabet Inc.’s Google have begun working together to try to clamp down on Chinese competitors extracting results from cutting-edge US artificial intelligence models to gain an edge in the global AI race.

(6) NASA’s four Artemis astronauts swung behind the moon and are headed home, in a journey that shattered space travel distance records and brought people the closest they’ve been to the lunar surface in more than 50 years.
