US Media: US Pre-Notified Iran of Escort Operation and Warned Iran Not to Intervene

1 hours ago

May 5 (AXIOS) — A U.S. official and a source familiar with the matter said Sunday that a senior Trump administration official had notified Iran of an upcoming U.S. "guidance" operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, warning Tehran against interfering. The private communication signals the White House is trying to lower the risk of potential escalation. Still, Iran has persisted in attacks on U.S. Navy vessels, commercial ships and the United Arab Emirates despite the warning. On Tuesday, U.S. Defense Secretary and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Kane downplayed Iran’s attacks, asserting the ceasefire agreement remains in effect. Some U.S. and Israeli officials, however, say if the diplomatic deadlock continues, President Trump could order a resumption of hostilities later this week.

Gold Price Rises in US Session, But Analysts Say Uncertainty in the Middle East May Continue to Support the US Dollar and Keep Gold Price Under Pressure

May 5th Markets are currently focused on the fragile US-Iran ceasefire and the impact of surging energy prices on inflation and interest rates—driving gold prices higher during U.S. trading hours. Analyst Fawad Razaqzada noted: “Unless we see meaningful progress toward Gulf region stability, elevated oil prices may continue to lift short-term U.S. yields, thereby bolstering the U.S. dollar. This combination bodes poorly for gold’s short-term outlook.” (FXStreet)

U.S. States Call for Participation in AI Model Testing to Enhance Cybersecurity Collaboration

May 5th — Senior security officials from more than a dozen U.S. states are urging AI firms to include their states in advanced model testing, noting developers currently prioritize collaboration with Washington and big tech companies over state entities. In a Tuesday letter to OpenAI, Anthropic, and the CEOs of Microsoft and Google, a coalition of state chief information security officers (CISOs), homeland security advisors, and tech officials emphasized states remain excluded from early access programs. The letter reads: “While we value new cybersecurity initiatives, we’re deeply concerned current practices prioritize collaboration with federal partners and big tech companies — essentially shutting out state and local entities that deliver and secure many critical national services.”

Hayes noted roughly 98% of S&P 500 companies have been replaced or removed since 1929, framing market purging as a normal part of the cycle. The altcoin ecosystem, he added, will persist and evolve.
