 Trump Unfazed as Iran Suspends Talks
Iran's state media said Monday that Tehran is suspending talks with the U.S. over Israel's offensive in Lebanon, and warned it could move to close the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump said Iranian officials didn't warn him of any change in negotiations and wasn't worried, telling reporters, "If they don't want to talk, that's OK with me." Oil jumped more than $6 a barrel. Hours later, Trump posted on Truth Social that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to stop fighting after his calls, and that no Israeli troops would enter Beirut. He added that talks with Iran were actually "continuing, at a rapid pace," capping a chaotic day in the three-month war. |
Florida Sues ChatGPT Maker OpenAIFlorida sued ChatGPT maker OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, on Monday, accusing the company of prioritizing profit over safety and of pushing a product it knew could harm users. The suit claims ChatGPT aided and abetted mass shooters, alleging the Florida State University gunman consulted it about firearms and campus locations before an attack that killed two. It's the first such state lawsuit and seeks to hold Altman personally liable. A number of other families have also sued, tying the chatbot to suicides and delusions. It lands as a new study finds one in five young people, about 8 million, lean on chatbots for mental health advice. |
List: World's Largest ArmiesThe world's largest army in 2026 isn't China, Russia, or the U.S. It's Bangladesh, which tops a new ranking of total military personnel with about 7 million. The catch is that Bangladesh fields only around 204,000 active troops. Its No. 1 spot comes almost entirely from a vast network of reserves and paramilitary forces. Vietnam ranks second, and war-torn Ukraine third, both built on huge reserve systems rather than large standing armies. Counting only active-duty troops flips the list: China leads with roughly 2 million, followed by India, Russia, and the U.S., which still holds the world's largest defense budget. Here's the full ranking of national armies.
