Quadrilateral meeting structure: US (Vance + Witkoff), Iran, Pakistan (PM Sharif + COAS Munir), Qatar at Buergenstock. Vance Mon-eve framing: 'Iranians agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back' as 'major milestone for the American people and the first step in permanently denuclearising' Iran's nuclear weapons program — Iranian counter-framing maintains 'only after final deal' position; Grossi-flexibility bridges.

Anthropic run-rate revenue surpasses $30B (vs ~$9B end-2025 = 3x+); $1M+ customers exceed 1,000 (DOUBLED in <2 months); pre-IPO fundamentals confirmed
Sun: Anthropic run-rate revenue has surpassed $30B — up from approximately $9B at end of 2025 (3x+ in ~6 months). Business customers spending over $1M annualized exceed 1,000 — DOUBLED in less than 2 months. Pre-IPO fundamental traction confirms Bloomberg's Oct-target timeline. Capex-cycle structural bull-thesis (Micron HBM-sold-out) now joins revenue-side structural bull-thesis.

Pre-IPO fundamental disclosures stack pre-Oct catalyst window: $965B valuation + $30B run-rate + 1000+ $1M+ customers doubling.

Counter to 'tokenmaxxing → efficiency' narrative: Anthropic's $30B run-rate suggests demand is still pulling fast enough to sustain price-discipline.
