The US and Israel's surprise airstrikes on Iran have escalated tensions in the region, sparking concerns over global oil supplies and prompting a strong retaliation from Tehran. The attacks, which targeted members of the Iranian leadership, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have raised fears of a wider conflict and its potential impact on the global economy.
As the situation continues to unfold, OPEC+ is set to meet on Sunday to discuss a potential increase in oil production, which could help mitigate the impact of the conflict on global supplies. However, the outcome of the meeting remains uncertain, with some delegates suggesting that a larger supply increase may be necessary to stabilize the market.
Meanwhile, in a move that has been seen as a major blow to Anthropic, a rival AI company, OpenAI has secured a deal with the Pentagon to use its AI models in classified systems. The deal, which was announced on Friday, comes just hours after the US government designated Anthropic a "supply chain risk," a move that has been described as unprecedented and potentially damaging to the company's business.
According to sources, the designation is the first time the US has ever labeled an American company a supply chain risk, and it is seen as a major setback for Anthropic, which had been in talks with the Pentagon over a potential contract. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, said that the company's agreement with the Pentagon contains the same limitations on how the military can use its technology that Anthropic had been insisting on.
The development has raised questions about the relationship between the government and business in the US, with some experts suggesting that the designation may be a form of retaliation against Anthropic for not agreeing to certain contractual terms.
In a statement, Anthropic said that it would take legal action to try to overturn the Pentagon's designation, which it described as "unfair and unjustified."

In a separate development, experts have highlighted the importance of recognizing and addressing personal insecurities, which can quietly hold people back and drive their decisions.
