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

On today's podcast:

(1) President Donald Trump expressed confidence in the US military campaign against Iran even as the timeline for operations remained deeply unclear on the fifth day of the Middle East war.

(3) Oil extended gains as the US and Israeli war against Iran disrupted crude flows to key importers, with the combatants vowing to press on with the conflict and top importer China seeking to conserve fuel.

(5) China set its most modest growth target since 1991, a tacit acknowledgment that the model powering the country’s economic rise is showing strains.

(6) Anthropic chief Dario Amodei has resumed discussions with the Pentagon about the way its AI models are used by the US military, raising the possibility that the two sides can resolve a feud that’s transfixed Silicon Valley.
