June 14 — Galaxy Research’s monitoring data shows the Bitcoin network completed its latest difficulty adjustment at block height 953,568 today. The adjustment lowered the network’s mining difficulty by 10.09%, falling from 138.96T to 124.93T. This ranks as the 11th largest single difficulty drop in Bitcoin’s history and the second-biggest decline since 2026. The adjustment cycle lasted 15.6 days, notably longer than the protocol’s standard 14-day target period. Research points out Bitcoin’s price dropped roughly 15% in June, squeezing miners’ profit margins. This led some mining operations to go offline, reducing the network’s overall hash rate and triggering the difficulty readjustment. Galaxy Research notes this reflects Bitcoin’s typical pressure transmission mechanism during a price downturn: falling prices drive mining power to exit the network, which in turn prompts a difficulty adjustment to restore a dynamic equilibrium for miner profitability and network security.

June 14 — U.S. military sources, speaking to CCTV, revealed that back in May, U.S. officials drafted an operation to send ground troops into Iran to forcibly seize Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile. The plan was ultimately abandoned, and now the U.S. military is working on a new strategy to secure Iran’s enriched uranium, per details shared June 12 by two U.S. officials. On June 12, those two officials stated that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley rushed back to U.S. Central Command on May 19 to receive a full briefing on the plot to seize Iran’s enriched uranium. Under that scheme, the U.S. military planned to take hold of the enriched uranium, which is buried deep underground in tunnels at Iranian nuclear facilities in Isfahan and Natanz. Milley later presented the plan directly to President Trump, who rejected it after being warned the operation could trigger “severe Iranian retaliation, drag the conflict out, and roil global economic markets.” U.S. military asses

June 14 — White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks shared in a post this week that Anthropic’s commercial version of its Mythos series model, Fable, includes a built-in security fence. However, bypassing that fence grants users access to Mythos’s advanced cyber attack capabilities. Sacks noted that Anthropic had previously labeled Mythos a "network weapon" requiring oversight, meaning fixing related vulnerabilities should have been the company’s responsibility. A partner trusted by both Anthropic and the U.S. government discovered a jailbreak method that could bypass Fable’s security fence during testing. The U.S. government then reached out to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, asking him to either patch the vulnerability or take the model offline—but the request was rejected. In a statement, Anthropic called the vulnerability "non-critical," a claim that clashed with assessments from the U.S. government and its trusted partner. Sacks added that while Anthropic typically prioritizes sec

June 14 — In an early morning post at 00:45, U.S. President Donald Trump took to his personal social media platform to announce the Iran nuclear deal he’s advancing is fundamentally distinct from the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). He labeled the old agreement a “straight path to nuclear weapons” and framed the new one as a “high wall” blocking Iran from acquiring nukes. Trump claimed Iran is no longer pursuing nuclear weapons and will not obtain them through purchases, research, or any other method. The pact is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, Trump added. Once finalized, the Strait of Hormuz will open immediately to all countries. He noted the U.S.’s relationship with Iran will be more positive than under previous administrations, and the agreement does not require the U.S. to transfer funds to Iran. Trump also stated that after the situation stabilizes, the U.S. will address Iran’s deeply buried nuclear materials, destroying them via a dilution process that c

On June 14, sources familiar with the matter told reporters that the Trump administration has decided to ban foreign countries from using Anthropic’s most powerful AI model. The incident was sparked by a conversation between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessemer, and other top U.S. government officials. During that chat, Jassy warned officials that Amazon researchers had successfully tricked Anthropic’s Fable 5 AI model into sharing restricted information that could be exploited for cyberattacks. The White House quickly convened a meeting to hash out response plans, and independent security researchers later confirmed Amazon’s claims as accurate. In the end, the administration settled on blocking foreign governments, businesses, and individuals from accessing the AI tool to mitigate the security risk—a move formally signed off by President Trump. U.S. officials have long voiced concerns that Anthropic has failed to adequately manage vulnerabilities in its latest AI m
