OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced late Friday that the company had signed a deal with the Pentagon for its AI tools to be used in the military’s classified systems, but with seemingly similar guardrails rival Anthropic had also requested. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement,” Altman said on X. It would require all contractors who work with the military to prove their military work does not touch Anthropic’s products. It’s not clear what is different about OpenAI’s deal with the Pentagon versus what Anthropic wanted. CNN has asked both the Pentagon and OpenAI for clarifications.

For many years, Donald Trump has trashed CNN and has taught his loyal followers to do the same. On Thursday, his rich and powerful friends at Paramount Skydance moved closer to acquiring CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros Discovery. And consider what has happened at CBS, whose parent company is none other than Paramount Skydance. Trump probably would like nothing more than to see Weiss – or someone just as pliant – expand her empire, thus bringing CNN to heel. But given the political forces at play – included a weaponized and corrupted justice department – Paramount Skydance is likely to prevail.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed Saturday in what President Trump called a “massive and ongoing” U.S.-Israeli operation aimed at razing Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities, thwarting Tehran’s support to proxies and destroying its theocratic government. “Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. Iran’s Red Crescent later said 201 people were killed in attacks across the country, and that 24 out of Iran’s 32 provinces were hit. Debris from one of those missiles killed one person in the UAE; another struck a hotel in Dubai.

Vance said confidently on Thursday that it would not turn into the kind of conflict the vice president has harshly criticized. “The idea that we’re going to be in a Middle Eastern war for years with no end in sight — there is no chance that will happen,” he told The Post in an interview as he returned to Washington from an event in Wisconsin, effectively pushing back against predictions by some foreign policy experts that there would be no easy out if America got involved in a bigger conflict with Iran.
