Why Yemen’s Houthis are staying out of Israel-US fight with Iran – for now

(Al Jazeera – Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera / 2026-03-07 04:21)

Summary:
Yemen's Houthi movement, a key Iranian ally, has so far refrained from direct military action in the recent Israel-US conflict with Iran, despite its history of attacking US and Israeli targets. Analysts attribute this current restraint to Houthi fears of severe retaliation, particularly following devastating Israeli airstrikes last year that killed senior leaders. However, the group remains capable and poised to escalate—potentially by resuming attacks on Red Sea shipping or firing missiles—if directly drawn into the conflict or if Iran requests its involvement.

Main Topics Covered:
1. The Houthis' cautious, non-military response to the Israel-US strikes on Iran.
2. The reasons for their restraint, primarily fear of Israeli/US retaliation and past leadership losses.
3. The group's ongoing capabilities and the potential for future escalation in the Red Sea or against Israel.
4. The strategic relationship between the Houthis and Iran within the regional "axis of resistance."

Pentagon's chief tech officer says he clashed with AI company Anthropic over autonomous warfare

(Tech-Economic Times / 2026-03-07 02:32)

The Pentagon has designated AI company Anthropic as a supply chain risk, cutting off its defense work after a dispute over ethical restrictions on its technology. The conflict centers on Anthropic's refusal to allow its AI to be used in fully autonomous weapons, which a top defense official views as an obstacle to military projects like the Golden Dome missile defense program.

Anthropic plans to sue over the designation, which affects its military contractor partnerships. The company states it only sought to restrict its technology from mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, asserting that military decisions belong to the Department of Defense, not private firms.

The Pentagon official criticized Anthropic's stance, arguing AI autonomy is crucial for future defense scenarios, such as rapid-response space missile defense. The dispute highlights the broader tension between military aims for autonomous systems and AI companies' ethical governance policies.

Main Topics: U.S. Pentagon and Anthropic dispute, autonomous weapons and AI ethics, supply chain risk designation, military AI integration and future defense scenarios.
