Iran Ceasefire - Real Peace? Fable AI Ban Breakdown & G7 Summit

Welcome to this week's President's Tech Brief! Hosts Ylli Bajraktari and Martijn Rasser break down the biggest stories at the intersection of national security and tech. In this midweek episode, we cover:

1. Iran Ceasefire — Tehran and Washington have hit pause on the war in the Gulf, but they can't even agree on what they just signed, and the real test comes Friday in Geneva. We break it down with Puneet Talwar, Former Ambassador to Morocco and Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs, who sat in the secret US-Iran talks behind the last nuclear deal, and Joel Rayburn, Senior Advisor to the Hudson Institute — plus Chip Usher and Ylber Bajraktari.

2. The US Locks Down Fable — For the first time, the government is treating an AI model like a weapon: it barred the world from Anthropic's most powerful system, and rather than fight it, Anthropic pulled the plug entirely. Who actually controls frontier AI now? Jenilee Keefe Singer and Rama Elluru get into it.

3. The 2026 G7 Summit — The people building AI now have a seat where world leaders decide its rules. We unpack what France's summit means for Ukraine, trade, and a global AI race the US is winning — for now. With Joe Wang.

4. The South China Sea — The world's most contested waterway keeps getting more crowded, and we have a front-row seat. Philippine Secretary of National Defense Gilberto C. Teodoro joins us for a firsthand read on the Beijing-Manila standoff and what it means for the US-Philippines alliance and the Indo-Pacific. With Joe Wang and Ylber Bajraktari.
