  Speaker 1: We begin with concerning developments regarding Iran's escalating use of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. A new report from Anthropic reveals that an
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Iran nexus threat actor has employed advanced AI systems, including
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the company's clawed model, for a range of military and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: intelligence operations. According to the report, These AI tools were
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: used to identify and track US naval positions, develop targeting
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: recommendations against US Navy forces in the region, and create
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: sophisticated propaganda and intelligence operations. The actor also reportedly used
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: AI to build an automated, open-source intelligence identity profiling harness,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: targeting hundreds of Israeli governmental and non-governmental individuals, as well
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: as Jewish diaspora organisations. The report highlights the growing danger
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: of adversaries like Iran utilising AI for complex, large-scale campaigns
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: that would previously require numerous human operators. Meanwhile, significant infrastructure
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia has been targeted. Pump stations along the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: kingdom's critical east-west oil pipeline were struck by projectiles on Thursday,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: sparking fires. US officials indicated the strike may have involved
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: drones originating from Iraq, though attribution remains unclear. This pipeline
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: is crucial, moving approximately 5 million barrels of oil daily
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to the Red Sea. While Aramco has not confirmed damage
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to the pipeline itself, the strike adds further pressure on
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Saudi exports. In diplomatic news, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: has rejected remarks made by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kalas,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: who compared Israeli settlements to Russia-seized Crimea. Saar called the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: analogy unacceptable and stated that any comparison between Israel and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Russia is unfounded. Tensions remain high over rhetoric concerning Israel.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Israeli Consul General in New York, Ofir Akounis, has drawn
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: criticism for his strong remarks regarding New York City Mayor
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Zoran Mamdani's support for the Israel boycott movement. Akounis likened
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Mamdani's stance to tactics used by Nazi Germany and labelled
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: him an anti-Semite, stating Mamdani bears responsibility for attacks on
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Jews in New York. While Akounis clarified he is not
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: comparing the Holocaust to today's climate, but rather highlighting historical
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: patterns of dehumanising language. Some leaders in New York's Jewish
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: community have described his comparisons as unproductive and offensive. Turning
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to Gaza, the Israeli military has denied allegations of artificial
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: intelligence being used for killing operations. The denial comes in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: response to testimonies presented in an Israeli-made documentary titled NAZA,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: which debuted at the Venice Film Festival. The IDF maintains
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that the selection and approval of strikes in Gaza, are
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: conducted solely by human personnel. Finally, a report from US
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Central Command indicates that 99 vessels have been redirected since
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the resumption of the blockade of ships travelling to and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: from Iran, underscoring ongoing disruptions to maritime traffic in the region.
