🔵❌🧠 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Pentagon Threatens To Blacklist Anthropic As 'Supply Chain Risk' Over Guardrails On Military Use | February 16, 2026:

"The Pentagon is reportedly about to cut ties with Anthropic, makers of Claude, which is already embedded in classified systems

The company insists on implementing guardrails over how the US military can use Claude - specifically when it comes to mass surveillance and autonomous weapons - after it was used in the Maduro raid without their knowledge.  

The Pentagon is now calling Claude a threat to national security

Some are accusing the overwhelmingly left-leaning company of trying to undermine the Trump administration, while Elon Musk says Claude 'hates whites, Asians, heterosexuals, and men.'

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reportedly "close" to cutting business ties with Anthropic and designating the firm a supply chain risk - a penalty typically reserved for foreign adversaries, a senior Pentagon official told Axios.

Anthropic's flagship model, Claude, is already embedded in the military's classified systems - however the company's CEO has been pushing for abstract guardrails over ethical concerns for what the government sees as urgent national security needs. "

🇺🇸🇮🇷 — The U.S. is amassing its largest Middle East air buildup since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, positioning for possible strikes on Iran.

Washington has deployed F-35s, F-22s, additional fighters, command aircraft, missile defenses, and two aircraft carriers to the region.

Officials say this gives Washington the option of a 'weekslong air war' — not just a one-off strike.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇸🇦 — 2x United States Air Force (USAF) E-3C Sentry AWACS aircraft were seen over Tel Aviv en route to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

🇮🇷🪖📝 — Citizens in Iran published an interesting photo, likely in Alborz/Tehran (given the car plates), showing the movement of homegrown military communications system "Sepehr-110"

🇺🇸🇯🇴🗺 — Via its account on Weibo, China's Mizarvision satellite imagery shows that United States Air Force is massing up its presence at the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's Muwaffaq Al-Salti Air Base (85 KM E of Amman)

Such a base now hosts:

📝 18x USAF F-35A Lightning II fighter jets

📝 6x US Navy EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft

➡️ It's noteworthy that such a base under the Hashemite's protection is outside most of IRGC's SRBMs as the Fateh-110 (300 KM range), Fateh-313 (~500 KM range) and Zolfaghar (~700 Km) as it is placed around 1000-1600 KM away from the main Iranian launching pods and underground cities in Lorestan, Khuzestan, Fars and Kurdistan Provinces of Iran

➡️ However, such a base could still be targeted by Iranian MRBMs and IRBMs as the Shahab-3 (Depending where it is placed, as it has a 1300 Km range), the Ghadr-110 (~1900 KM range) and the Emad (~1700 km range), as well, obviously, Iranian loitering munition, although the later is slower

🇺🇸❌🇸🇩 — United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned three commanders of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) today.

➡️ These individuals were involved in the RSF’s 18-month siege of and eventual capture of El-Fasher, in which the RSF is accused to have perpetrated genocide, ethnic killings, torture, starvation, and sexual violence against Black people, according to the Treasury.
