THE IMAGES SHOW NEW SIGNS OF ACTIVITY AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN IRAN BETWEEN THE END OF JUNE AND THE BEGINNING OF JULY, WITH SOME OF THE MOVEMENTS OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES CAUSING OUTSIDE CONCERN. CNN ANALYSED THE TARGAN2 FACILITY AT THE PARCHIN MILITARY BASE AS SHOWING SIGNS OF REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION. THE FACILITY WAS CONSIDERED BY SOME EXPERTS TO BE RELATED TO THE STORAGE OF NUCLEAR-WEAPON EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS, AND SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED THAT REPAIRS WERE UNDER WAY TO VARIOUS CRATERS CAUSED BY PREVIOUS AIR STRIKES.

The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament said that he would not surrender and that if the United States were to “underbelief” it would be fully defensive

On 11 July, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Kalibaf, stated that Iran had never sought war but would never yield to external pressure. According to Kalibaf, prior to the recent outbreak of conflict, the United States, Israel and NATO believed that Iran could be forced to surrender within days, but ultimately failed to achieve its goal. He stated that the United States had sought a ceasefire because of economic, political and public pressure. He emphasized that Iran did not trust the United States and that it was only when it was ready for war that it was eligible to negotiate with the United States. If the United States “renounces the memorandum of understanding between the two sides”, Iran will be ready for “full defence” and will firmly defend its national interests. Kalibaf said that the international community wanted an end to the war, but anyone should know that the conflict would not end with Iran ' s surrender。

THE COMPANY AND ITS ASSOCIATES — SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS AND LIGHT TECHNOLOGY — HAVE BECOME THE MAIN BENEFICIARIES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. LARGE-SCALE EXPENDITURES BY DATA CENTRE OPERATORS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEMAND FOR TRADITIONAL MEMORY AND A NEW TYPE OF HIGH BANDWIDTH MEMORY. THIS ACQUISITION MADE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO MEET THE WIDESPREAD DEMAND FOR THE STORAGE OF CHIPS, RESULTING IN SHORTAGES IN AREAS SUCH AS COMPUTERS, MOBILE PHONES AND CARS. ACCORDING TO GOLU, THE ANALYSIS OF SK HERCULES INDICATES THAT THIS SHORTFALL MAY CONTINUE INTO THE NEXT DECADE. CLIENT SIGNALS ALSO INDICATE THAT IT IS EXPECTED THAT SUFFICIENT MEMORY CHIPS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR SOME TIME TO COME。
