This week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the US will target a complex network built by Iran over years to allow its entities to evade Washington’s wide-ranging sanctions. The move comes after six months of a war launched by the US and Israel that has since reached a stalemate amid a lack of diplomatic resolution.

Other developments in the war this week include the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and Iran putting a bounty on the president’s son, Barron Trump.

Experts speak to CNN on this week’s developments from the Iran war.

Joint military drills between the United States and South Korea have been cut in half, after President Donald Trump called for their reduction, citing his close relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Based on direction from the President and Secretary of War, the Department has substantially reduced Exercise Ulchi Freedom Shield while continuing training that enhances tactical capability,” a Pentagon official said.

The struggle for global supremacy between the US and China is no more evident in the race to lead AI. While Silicon Valley remains dominant, China has managed to keep up. Recent Chinese models are closing the gap with the best American models and AI is widely incorporated into everyday life.
