Argentina’s Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni resigned amid corruption probes over alleged illicit enrichment — luxury trips, real estate, and undeclared assets that didn’t match his ~$2,500month salary. Investigations expanded to possible bribery, influence peddling, and misuse of public funds. Milei had defended him for months but pressure became untenable. This is a significant blow to Milei’s “anti-caste” image.

CENTCOM: US struck Iranian military targets (surveillance, comms, air defense, drone storage, minelayers) after Iran broke the ceasefire by hitting tanker MT Kiku near the Strait of Hormuz this morning. Shipping through the strait continues.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Anthropic’s Mythos 5 AI model: Before Mythos, I wrote in my chairman's letter that cyber is our biggest risk, made worse by AI. Well, I didn't know how much worse by AI — it's like really worse. China will have Mythos. Even if [China doesn't] have it, they'll probably get Mythos through other people's back doors. This is literally putting a — not an AK-47 — a ballistic missile in the hands of a person who may just be angry: angry at banks, angry at the military, angry at oil companies, angry at their mom and dad. They want to kill people.

Trump becomes Atlas.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on AI:

Technology drives huge progress of mankind, but it's used by bad guys — like planes were, and drugs are. A lot of you may have grandkids or kids who are a certain age — they may live to 100. And half the cancers that afflict people in this room will not exist.

Netanyahu:

Who cares? Whether it's a political graveyard or not, I will do whatever is necessary to ensure the security and victory of the State of Israel. If we need to enter Lebanon, we will enter Lebanon. If we need to operate there with overwhelming force, we will do it.

Netanyahu on Gaza: Hamas still retains some civilian capabilities, and we still have work to do.

Netanyahu on Lebanon: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with whom I have held several conversations, has expressed U.S. support for the concept of a security zone that prevents Iran and Hezbollah from attacking us.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on the lack of arms manufacturing capacity in the US:

We did not have productive capability to double or triple our Patriot missile production. No one's willing to pay for it. No cars were built in America in 1942, '43, '44, '45. We did build 144 aircraft carriers, 29,000 B-29s. When you turned on this arsenal of democracy, man — it turned on. And we have to do it again.

Netanyahu:

We said from the very beginning that we were not a party to the agreement between the United States and Iran. But that does not mean we do not have interests. We have our own interests, and we will make them known. That is also true regarding the central issue—the nuclear issue. I intend to send a delegation to Washington to explain Israel's interests.

Netanyahu: There is no place for two states between the sea and the Jordan River.

Netanyahu says Israel kills Hezbollah fighters even before being fired upon:

Yesterday there was a threat much farther away from our soldiers—not at immediate range. They saw seven terrorists entering a house. They hadn't fired yet, and they hadn't yet organized themselves. But that house was destroyed, and those seven terrorists were eliminated.

Netanyahu on Lebanon's Army:

The Lebanese Armed Forces need to make changes within themselves. There are also jihadists inside that army. The Lebanese government knows it has to deal with this too. We will of course test this in practice.

Netanyahu:

The Lebanese government still has more work to do, and it has already begun to act. That is no small thing. The very signing of this agreement is an extremely courageous step, because for the first time in decades they are essentially telling Hezbollah, and they are telling Iran: "Get out of here. We are making peace with Israel. Whether you like it or not, we want to make peace with the State of Israel." And I want to tell you that we have heard support for this among Lebanon's Christian public, among the Druze public, among the Muslim public—even among some Shiites.

Netanyahu on anti-drone solutions: We still haven't finished. We have more work to do — especially against the global problem of explosive drones — and in this too, we will be the first in the world to deliver a solution.
