According to CNN, over the past nearly two weeks, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has launched strikes against Iran almost daily. However, on Friday (this morning Beijing time), the U.S. military did not announce any strikes against Iran. For the previous 13 consecutive nights, CENTCOM posted on social media that it was targeting military sites inside Iran. No such announcement was issued on Friday evening Eastern Time. It remains unclear whether this means CENTCOM did not conduct military operations against Iran on Friday.

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, during his visit to Silicon Valley, held a "beer summit" with global AI leaders, as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix signed major multi-billion-dollar deals with leading U.S. technology companies. According to South Korea’s Presidential Office Policy Office, local conglomerates have reached agreements with global tech giants including Nvidia for a series of cooperation projects totaling $950 billion. Under the deals, SK Group will supply high-performance semiconductors worth $750 billion to global tech firms including Nvidia, while Samsung Electronics will provide chips worth $200 billion to Broadcom. Nvidia announced this Friday that it will partner with South Korea’s SK Group on an AI initiative valued at over $500 billion, covering large-scale AI data center construction and next-generation memory technology. The plan includes a long-term partnership with SK Hynix, designed to secure next-generation memory supplies for Nvidia and co-develop high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI training, AI agents, and physical AI applications. SK Telecom plans to build a 2-gigawatt (GW) AI data center that will use Nvidia’s Vera Rubin chips and SK Hynix’s HBM4 high-bandwidth memory, with the first facility expected to become operational in 2027.

On the evening of July 24 local time, U.S. President Donald Trump attended the 2026 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at Washington D.C.'s Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The event was originally scheduled for April 25 but delayed until now due to an attack incident. Toward the end of his speech, Trump donned a red "Trump 2028" cap and joked, "I'm pleased to announce my intention—this is an exclusive scoop—I plan to run for a fourth term as U.S. president, and I will do it." He added, "It should be easy; I'm getting better and better at running for president these days." During the segment, Trump repeated his false claim that he actually won the 2020 presidential election. Subsequent media reports explicitly noted "he did not win" to clarify this misstatement. Per the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a president is limited to a maximum of two terms. Trump is currently serving his second and final constitutionally allowed term, making him ineligible in theory to legally run for a "fourth term."
