New Year closure puts Iran, cable security and AI hardware in focus

Finnish authorities also seized a Russian cargo vessel suspected of damaging undersea telecommunications cables. In technology, Enflame Technology completed IPO coaching, Apple scaled back Vision Pro production and marketing after weak sales, and OpenAI reportedly shifted manufacturing of its first AI hardware project to Foxconn. New U.S. rules require providers to collect a 1% tax on eligible cross-border remittances.
