U.S. Threatens to Label Anthropic a National Security Supply-Chain Risk as OpenAI Signs New Defense Department Deal

The U.S. government ordered federal agencies to immediately stop using Anthropic’s AI after contract talks broke down over Anthropic’s requested bans on mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth then said he would seek to designate Anthropic a national-security “supply-chain risk,” potentially barring military contractors and partners from doing business with the company—an unusually severe step historically aimed at foreign adversaries. Anthropic said it will not change its stance, plans to challenge any designation in court, and argues the Pentagon lacks authority to enforce the broad restrictions described. Meanwhile, OpenAI announced a new agreement to deploy its models on classified Defense Department networks, saying it preserves its own limits on domestic mass surveillance and requires human responsibility for the use of force, along with technical safeguards.

After Large-Scale Strikes, Iran’s Supreme Leader’s Status Remains Unconfirmed

After massive Israeli-U.S. strikes on Tehran, uncertainty persists over whether Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei survived. Satellite imagery reportedly shows heavy damage inside a fortified compound linked to Khamenei, and regional reports suggest senior officials may have been meeting there at the time of the attack. Israeli leaders said there were indications he may be dead but acknowledged they could not confirm the result, while Iranian authorities denied any harm to Khamenei and other top officials.
