🚫 CLAIM: The navy commander for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed today that the Strait of Hormuz is under IRGC control and any approaching U.S. Navy warships would be "sunk."
✅ FACT: IRGC's navy commander has no navy. American forces and regional partners clearly control the Strait of Hormuz. Just yesterday U.S. forces assisted Gulf partners in shipping more than 19 million barrels of crude oil through the strait.

Ukraine was not warned by its partner countries during the Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv’s energy infrastructure tonight - Zelensky
At least one Russian missile hit an apartment building, with sirens failing to sound until after the impacts. https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/2110108916080071052/photo/1

Twelve US senators have sent an open letter to Donald Trump demanding the cancellation of the diesel deal with the Russian Federation. The signatories include six Republicans and six Democrats. They called the agreement a "betrayal of US allies" and stated that it "will not only fail to achieve its goals, but will also bring no benefit to the American people."

Zelenskyy stated that Russia struck CHP-4 in Kyiv without any warning from partners and is preparing new ballistic missile launches, despite Ukraine's support for the energy ceasefire. The military and emergency services are determining all the circumstances. https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/2110111246674747744/photo/1

RT @ZelenskyyUa: A Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv. Once again, no early warning from our partners. The main target was energy infrastructure, specifically CHPP-4. Unfortunately, it was hit. A residential building was also damaged, and rescuers are currently putting out a fire there. Our systems detected these missiles only when they were already virtually on approach to Kyiv. CHPP-4 is one of Kyiv’s key energy facilities.
According to our intelligence, the Russians are preparing further ballistic missile launches. The facts show that the Russians do not consider themselves bound by what the President of the United States said. Ukraine supported an energy ceasefire. Russia is targeting yet another power plant and the lives of our people.
And this is absolutely unjust: when they are destroying our energy infrastructure, and Ukraine is not even receiving early warnings about ballistic missile launches. It is important that the world does not stay silent about this. And it is important that the United States really see what is happening and who is responsible for this war continuing.
Please stay safe tonight and tomorrow. We are working to replenish our air defenses with anti-ballistic missiles.

Federal prosecutors have charged OpenAI engineer Abdulrahman Alfozan, 35, a Saudi national, with using or attempting to use a device to intercept oral communications, the Justice Department said Tuesday. He is accused of hiding a recorder in an executive conference room at OpenAI’s San Francisco offices. He was arrested Oct. 9 and appeared in federal court Tuesday. The charge is an allegation in a criminal complaint, and he has not been convicted.
According to the complaint, OpenAI staff found the device on or about Sept. 30, plugged into a USB port on the back of a TV and concealed in toilet paper. OpenAI determined it was installed around Sept. 28 and that its contents were encrypted. The complaint alleges CCTV footage showed Alfozan near the room on multiple dates, though he had no authority to access or attend meetings there, and that before Sept. 28 he used a productivity tool to ask about building addresses, meeting rooms, calendars and executive locations.
It further alleges that on Oct. 5 he was seen looking behind the TV, and that OpenAI security later found a second, similar recording device in a bag he left unattended in another room, along with his wallet and ID.
If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The release does not allege he acted for a foreign government, does not give a motive, and does not say what, if anything, the device recorded. FBI Director Kash Patel called protecting American AI innovation “one of our highest counterintelligence priorities.”
OpenAI said it used its internal AI models to identify him and trace the device, and that it has no indication he accessed or took model weights, source code or customer data. The company fired him. The FBI is investigating.

We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.
At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated.
We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats. tweet

RT @kvoneggert: В интервью Рагозина @meduzaproject лично меня шокировал вот какой момент: журналист никак не отреагировал на слова Леонида о том, происходящее с ним – "садизм" со стороны властей Латвии. Любое СМИ, которое хотя бы раз сообщало о судьбе украинских военнопленных, Жени Беркович или Александра Скобова, не имеет права оставить это гротескное по уровню самомнения и солипсизма заявление без хотя бы одного уточняющего вопроса. "Медуза" смогла.
