How the Iran War Is Disrupting Global Oil and Gas Supply Fears of deeper disruption to global oil and natural gas supply are growing as the US and Israel continue to strike Iran, and the Islamic Republic retaliates with missiles and drones across the Middle East. Prices of both commodities have jumped and a sustained increase could trigger a surge in inflation.

Oil prices have eased since topping $100 a barrel for the first time since 2022. But crude supply out of the Persian Gulf remains disrupted as the Iran war continues. Here's what to know

Nuclear experts undercut White House claims about Iran reactor at heart of case for war The Trump administration sent negotiators without nuclear expertise to lead talks on Iran’s enrichment program. Now, its public case for war centers on a facility that experts say cannot do what offic...

This is a technical story with stunning strategic implications. It is quite possible the US launched a massive war because Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff lacked the technical expertise to even understand what the Iranians were offering in negotiations. Absolute idiocy.

AI firm Anthropic sues US defense department over blacklisting Lawsuits come after Pentagon labeled Anthropic a ‘supply chain risk’, a decision the company says is unlawful * Sign up for the Breaking News US email to get newsletter alerts in your inbox Anthropic filed two lawsuits against the Department of Defense on Monday, alleging that the government’s decision to label the artificial intelligence firm a “supply chain risk” was unlawful and violated its first amendment rights. The two sides have been locked in a monthslong heated feud over the company’s attempt to implement safeguards against the military’s potential use of its AI models for mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous lethal weapons. The lawsuits, which Anthropic filed in the northern district court of California and the US court of appeals for the Washington DC Circuit, come after the Pentagon formally issued the supply chain risk designation last Thursday, the first time the blacklisting tool has been used against a US company.
