Claim 1: “Apple said on Monday that John Ternus is succeeding Tim Cook as CEO, with Cook assuming the role of executive chairman on Sept. 1.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is repeated across multiple 'cross_reference' entries from Flipboard, but the supporting Wikipedia evidence only mentions John Ternus's role and the general existence of the company, not the specific succession plan involving Tim Cook becoming executive chairman on Sept. 1. Since the only source detailing the claim is the cross-reference itself, and this information is not corroborated by independent news or Wikipedia, it cannot be marked as corroborated.

Claim 2: “As the weekend approached, the US and Iran appeared to be closing in on a deal to end the seven-week war.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is repeated across multiple 'cross_reference' entries from Flipboard, suggesting it was reported by that source. However, the supporting Wikipedia evidence discusses negotiations timelines (e.g., April 2025, 2026) but does not confirm that the US and Iran were closing in on a deal to end a 'seven-week war' as the weekend approached, nor is this corroborated by other sources.
