The Pentagon reportedly concealed four American combat deaths in the Iran war. An AI-generated intelligence document nearly pushed U.S. and Chinese naval forces into a shooting incident.

The day's agenda spanned a widening Middle East conflict, Kremlin AI deepfakes targeting November's midterm elections, a fracturing international debate over AI governance, and a Trump administration facing judicial reversals at home.
