India has firmly ruled out any role as a mediator in the ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stating that New Delhi does not engage in diplomatic brokerage. His remarks came during an all-party meeting convened to brief political leaders on the government’s approach to the escalating West Asia crisis and its implications for India’s strategic interests. Addressing concerns raised by opposition leaders, Jaishankar clarified that India’s foreign policy is guided by its national priorities rather than intermediary roles. He noted that attempts by countries such as Pakistan to position themselves as mediators are not new, adding that such efforts have historically aligned with external interests. Government sources emphasized that India has been actively responding to developments in the region and rejected claims that it has remained silent. The meeting also focused on India’s preparedness in ensuring energy security and safeguarding its citizens in the Gulf region. Officials highlighted that maintaining stable crude oil supplies remains a key priority, particularly as tensions threaten critical shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz. The government informed leaders that advance procurement measures have been taken and that India is currently sourcing oil and gas from a diversified network of 41 countries to mitigate risks. Participants were also briefed on maritime developments, including the safe passage of several India-bound vessels carrying petroleum products through the Strait of Hormuz, while others remain in the vicinity awaiting clearance. The government described these developments as a reflection of effective coordination and diplomatic engagement. On diplomatic outreach, the government reiterated that India maintains balanced relations with all major stakeholders in the region, including the United States, Iran, and Israel. It also underscored steps taken to convey condolences following recent developments in Iran, indicating continued engagement at the diplomatic level. Despite these assurances, opposition leaders expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s responses and called for a detailed discussion in Parliament. The government, however, maintained that the situation is under control and there is no immediate cause for concern, reiterating its commitment to protecting national interests amid evolving geopolitical challenges.

In a groundbreaking development, Anthropic has introduced a new feature for Claude, its powerful AI assistant, enabling it to gain full control of your computer. This update takes Claude beyond simply responding to commands—it now has the capability to operate your mouse, keyboard, and even access apps, effectively transforming it into a remote personal assistant capable of completing tasks on your behalf. The new functionality is designed to streamline productivity by allowing Claude to handle tasks like opening applications, managing spreadsheets, navigating browsers, and more—all without you needing to be present at your computer. With this feature, Anthropic envisions a future where you can rely on AI to do the work while you are away, with minimal interaction required on your part. Alex Albert, a researcher at Anthropic, shared on X (formerly Twitter), "The future where I never have to open up my laptop to get work done is becoming real very fast." The integration with the Dispatch feature, which allows users to remotely control Claude, enhances the AI’s capabilities, making it a versatile tool for both personal and professional use. Claude's access to your computer is seamless, initially starting with apps like Slack or Calendar. With permission, it can extend access to other applications needed for the task at hand. Once set up, you can prompt Claude remotely through its mobile or desktop app, and when you return, the AI will have completed your tasks. Currently, this feature is available only to paid users of Claude Cowork and Claude Code, and is limited to macOS users. Both the Claude desktop and mobile apps need to be updated and paired for the full functionality to work. This shift towards AI-powered automation, allowing AI agents like Claude to manage tasks and workflows independently, marks a significant step forward in the development of agentic AI, positioning Anthropic as a leader in this field. With competitors like Nvidia’s NemoClaw, OpenAI, and Meta developing similar AI systems, the race to bring seamless, autonomous task management to everyday users is gaining momentum.
