U.S. President Donald J. Trump confirmed reports that embattled UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign, saying that “he failed badly on…immigration and energy” and “he wishes him well.”

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has threatened to resume combat operations against Iran, if they fail to reign in their principal proxy in the region, Lebanese Hezbollah.

According to The Economist, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, stated on June 11 that Gen. Joshua Rudd, director of the National Security Agency (NSA) and U.S. Cyber Command, told him Anthropic's artificial intelligence (AI) model "Mythos" was able to penetrate "almost all of our classified systems" in hours rather than weeks.

The extent of the alleged compromise remains unclear, and no public details have been released regarding how Mythos reportedly gained access or what systems were affected.

The claim is particularly notable given reports that the NSA continued using Anthropic technology in recent months despite President Trump's February directive ordering federal agencies to cease using Anthropic products. It also comes amid recent U.S. government restrictions on Anthropic's ability to export the model, citing national security concerns.

The U.S.-Iran talks in Lucerne, Switzerland appear to be under threat of breaking down, following U.S. President Donald J.

Trump apologizes for his earlier threats against the Iranian negotiators and Israel withdraws from Southern Lebanon. However, given the source of these reports, a pro-LH outlet, it’s yet unclear if these are the true terms for negotiations to resume.
