AXIOS (Maria Curi) - Anthropic sues Pentagon over rare "supply chain risk" label
Anthropic on Monday sued the Pentagon, alleging its designation as a "supply chain risk" violates the company's First Amendment rights and exceeds the government's authority. Why it matters: Supply chain risk designations are usually reserved for foreign adversaries that pose a national security risk — a punishment that could be hard for the government to square as it relied on Claude for operations in Iran. State of play: The Pentagon last week designated Anthropic a supply chain risk, meaning companies must stop using Claude in cases directly tied to the department. - President Trump also told the federal government in a Truth Social post to stop using Anthropic's technology, and some agencies have begun offboarding the tools.…

Oil prices skyrocketed to nearly $120 a barrel early Monday morning before falling to just over $100, as the ongoing war in Iran pressures global energy markets. West Texas Intermediate, the benchmark for most U.S. oil, topped out at $119.48 until reports surfaced that members of the G7 may soon be opening their strategic oil reserves to relieve prices. Much of the price spike is caused by the war disrupting tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. About 15 million barrels of crude, roughly one-fifth of global oil supply, normally pass through the strait each day, but Iranian attack threats have nearly halted tanker traffic from major Gulf producers. As exports slow, Iraq, Kuwait, and the UAE have cut production, while attacks on…Open
