Some analysts suggest this network outage may be linked to the emergency patch upgrade rolled out on June 2, which was deployed to fix a vulnerability in the Orchard shielded pool.

June 3 — According to Iranian media reports on the same day, Ali Nikzad, vice speaker of Iran’s Islamic Consultative Assembly, stated that the claim that Iran “only fights and does not negotiate” is inaccurate.

Jin emphasized that demand risks at the AI model end—specifically for firms such as Anthropic and OpenAI—are the most worthy of attention and the most straightforward indicator to track. While today’s AI bull market appears to have low price-to-earnings (PE) ratios and
