Chapter 1: What recent agreement was made between the U.S. and Iran?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. The U.S. and Iran have reached an initial agreement that would extend their shaky ceasefire and lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. But significant challenges remain to ending the war, including whether Israel will continue its offensive in Lebanon and the fate of Iran's nuclear program.
NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports Trump has been looking for a way to end the war.
He's probably celebrating because he needed an off-ramp here. His approval plummeted amid this war, including his approval on the economy, which had been a strong point for him. Gas prices went up. Fertilizer prices went up. Inflation passed 4 percent. So he wanted out. And now since this all was announced, yeah, oil prices have fallen and stocks went up.
So Trump is likely happy, even if this memorandum isn't the win he says it is.
NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reporting. Officials from Anthropic are meeting with the Commerce Department today. It comes after the Trump administration issued export controls that effectively forced Anthropic to disable its newest AI models. NPR's Adipa Shivaram reports.
The Trump administration, citing national security reasons, said Anthropic had to shut down its new models to anyone who isn't a U.S. citizen. That includes foreign nationals residing in the U.S. and even Anthropic employees who aren't citizens. On Friday evening, Anthropic announced that in order to comply, it had to shut down its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for everyone.
In a statement, Anthropic attributes the order to, quote, a misunderstanding the Trump administration has clashed with Anthropic before. The AI company sued the Defense Department earlier this year after fallout from the Pentagon wanting Anthropic to loosen its safety standards. Deepa Shivaram, NPR News.
