On April 29, U.S. President Trump stated: "German Chancellor Merz actually believes that Iran having nuclear weapons is not a problem. He doesn't understand what he's saying at all! If Iran truly possesses nuclear weapons, the entire world would become a hostage. I am currently taking actions against Iran that other countries or presidents should have taken long ago. No wonder Germany's economy and other aspects are in such a terrible state." Previously, Chancellor Merz had stated that the U.S. clearly has not formulated an 'exit strategy' in the war against Iran, and that 'the entire nation of America is suffering humiliation from the Iranian leadership.'

On April 29, the mere possibility that OpenAI's growth rate may not meet expectations has already become a costly issue. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the parent company of ChatGPT recently failed to meet its internal targets for new users and revenue. This has raised concerns for CFO Fleer regarding OpenAI's ability to pay for future computing contracts. OpenAI has denied that it is scaling back contracts and also denied any friction between Fleer and CEO Altman as the company seeks to conduct an IPO later this year. However, this did not prevent investors from selling off stocks most affected by OpenAI's future expansion plans. Nvidia (NVDA.O) fell more than 3%, and Broadcom (AVGO.O) dropped over 5%. This led to a combined market value loss of nearly $280 billion for the two companies. Other major chip stocks, including AMD (AMD.O), Intel (INTC.O), and Arm (ARM.O), also saw declines, dragging the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down by as much as 4.6%. Microsoft has so far remained unaffected. UBS analyst Karl Keirstead wrote in a report, 'OpenAI wants to adopt more cloud services, while Microsoft aims to introduce more models, so the push for diversification seems to be the trend.'

On April 29, two U.S. officials and one knowledgeable source revealed that American intelligence agencies are evaluating how Iran might respond if President Trump declares a unilateral victory in a conflict that has lasted two months, resulted in thousands of deaths, and become a political burden for the White House. According to the sources, at the request of senior government officials, the intelligence community is analyzing this issue and other related topics. The aim is to understand the implications of Trump's potential withdrawal from the conflict; some officials and advisors are concerned that if the conflict continues, it could lead to a disastrous outcome for the Republican Party in the midterm elections later this year. Although no final decision has been made yet, and Trump could easily escalate military actions again, a swift de-escalation of the conflict could help alleviate the political pressure he is facing. At the same time, this move could also 'embolden Iran,' allowing it to ultimately rebuild its nuclear and missile programs and pose a threat to U.S. allies in the region.
