According to sources, Anthropic is expected to release its IPO prospectus at the end of September and begin its IPO promotion as early as mid-October.On September 5th, U.S. Commerce Secretary Andrew Lutnick was appointed to review transactions between the Pentagon and companies under Cerberus Capital Management to address potential conflicts of interest. According to U.S. officials, the Department of Defense has assigned Lutnick to review these transactions. Cerberus is a private equity firm founded by Deputy Secretary of Defense Stephen Feinberg, with significant investments in defense and national security, including several companies that have received Pentagon contracts. After joining the government, Feinberg transferred his business assets to a trust for his adult children. Reports indicate that Lutnicks review of arrangements involving Cerberus is intended to exceed existing Department of Defense ethical guidelines. However, Lutnick previously led Cantor Fitzgerald, which has had a business relationship with Cerberus for over a decade and helped manage related investment funds. Some of Cerberus defense subsidiaries recently secured Pentagon contracts, including a $10 billion, 26-year Army helicopter pilot training contract for M1 Support Services, and a $90 million defense contract for hypersonic testing company Stratolaunch. It remains unclear whether Lutnik reviewed these transactions, and the specific scope of his review.Fitch: The rating upgrade reflects the strengthening of Portugals public finances, including the expected downward trend in government debt.Barclays: Oil outflows from the Middle East are higher than in the early stages of the conflict, but the market remains in a state of shortage, and the inventory buffer is now greatly reduced.According to Al Arabiya TV: Lebanese official data shows that Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon tonight have killed three people.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk revealed on Monday that the company will seek an exemption from Iran-related sanctions in order to sell its Starlink satellite broadband service in the nation.


Musk made the statement on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) amidst widespread protests in Iran following the murder of a woman in police custody. A number of Twitter users asked Musk to deploy satellite-based internet stations.


Internet monitoring company NetBlocks reported "near-total" loss of internet connectivity in the Kurdish region's capital on Monday, attributing it to the demonstrations.


Iran's Ministry of Communications and Information Technology could not be reached immediately for comment. Reuters did not receive prompt responses from the foreign ministry, Iran's envoy to the United Nations, and the United States Bureau of Industry and Security.


Musk did not say which country Starlink would seek exemptions from, but Iran is subject to significant restrictions.


To rapidly expand Starlink, SpaceX is competing with OneWeb and Amazon.com Inc. 's (NASDAQ:AMZN) unlaunched Project Kuiper.
