Judge Halts Pentagon's Retaliation Against Anthropic | Rewire News Evening Edition

Federal Judge Rita Lin blocked the Pentagon from labeling Anthropic as a "supply chain risk," calling the rationale "Orwellian." The decision came after Anthropic refused to use its Claude AI for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. On the same day, Anthropic's new model "Mythos" was accidentally exposed, and the company is reportedly planning an IPO with a $380 billion valuation. In other news, Huawei's new AI chip Ascend 950PR received orders from ByteDance and Alibaba, with performance reportedly doubling Nvidia's H20. Meanwhile, Reuters revealed that SMIC provided chipmaking equipment to Iran's military. The Pentagon is considering deploying 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East, while Trump extended the deadline for striking Iranian energy facilities and appointed JD Vance as chief negotiator with Iran. OpenAI's ChatGPT advertising pilot reached a $100 million annualized run rate in six weeks, but the company is losing enterprise market share to Anthropic. Additional developments include Meta increasing its Texas AI data center investment to $10 billion, Moonshot AI seeking a Hong Kong IPO, and Tether hiring KPMG for a USDT reserve audit.

UK targets crypto network behind Southeast Asia scam centres in first-of-its-kind sanctions move

The UK government has imposed first-of-its-kind sanctions on the cryptocurrency platform Xinbi for its role in enabling large-scale scam operations in Southeast Asia. Announced on March 26, the measures target a network providing crypto-based services to fraud centres, including the sale of stolen data and tools to target individuals. The action also focuses on individuals linked to a major scam compound in Cambodia, known as “#8 Park,” which can house up to 20,000 workers—many of whom are reportedly trafficked and forced to conduct scams. Authorities stated that Xinbi played a central role in facilitating payments and laundering proceeds from these illicit activities, which include romance frauds targeting global victims. The platform has also been associated with moving crypto assets connected to North Korea. This move is part of a broader crackdown that has already led to over £1 billion in asset freezes and seizures, following coordinated efforts with international partners like the US. The sanctions aim to isolate such platforms from the legitimate crypto ecosystem, disrupt financial channels, and freeze UK-based assets of sanctioned individuals. This action reflects a strategic shift toward targeting the financial infrastructure behind illicit operations, not just the perpetrators, signaling increased regulatory focus on crypto-enabled crime.

US-Iran Negotiations Countdown: What Cards Does Trump Hold?

Summary: On March 23, Trump announced a 5-day suspension of planned strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure, citing "productive dialogue" and "major consensus." However, Iran’s parliament speaker denied any direct talks. This marks the 7th time since 2018 that Trump has threatened Iran but only fully followed through twice—withdrawing from the JCPOA in 2018 and launching "Epic Fury" in February 2026. Brent crude fell 10.92% to around $100 after the delay announcement, reflecting market skepticism. Three scenarios post-deadline are possible: a temporary freeze agreement (oil at $80–90), extended talks (oil at $95–110), or resumed strikes with Hormuz blockade (oil up to $150+). Trump’s demands go far beyond the 2015 nuclear deal, including zero uranium enrichment and halting missile development. Current indirect mediation via Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan lacks the structure of past multilateral talks. If talks fail, Trump’s options include strikes on power plants or Kharg Island (handling 90% of Iran’s exports), tariffs on nations trading with Iran, and cyber operations. Iran can counter by blocking the Strait of Hormuz (20% of global oil transit) for months and using its remaining missiles. Both sides face a credibility trap—military escalation risks oil price spikes, while repeated delays weaken threat credibility. The 5-day window is part of an ongoing high-stakes cycle.

Venezuelan Businesses Likely Turning to Crypto Amid Dollar Scarcity

Venezuelan businesses are increasingly likely to turn to cryptocurrency due to a severe scarcity of US dollars. Small and medium enterprises report having their dollar bids rejected without explanation, while large corporations in sectors like food, beverage, healthcare, and chemicals receive preferential access. With dollar availability down 13% compared to the same period in 2025, these smaller firms are forced to raise prices and explore alternative markets. Additionally, Venezuela is suspected of holding significant Bitcoin reserves, estimated at nearly $22 million, potentially to circumvent international sanctions. These reserves, if liquidated, could impact the global crypto market. Meanwhile, crypto prices remained stable over the past 24 hours, with BTC trading above $70,000 and projections suggesting a potential rise to around $75,661 in the next month.

Three Weeks into the US-Iran War: Who is Profiting and Who is Paying?

Three weeks after the U.S. and Israel launched military strikes against Iran, the conflict has severely disrupted global energy markets. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz cut off 20 million barrels of daily oil transit, with IEA reporting a net loss of 11 million barrels per day—exceeding the combined impact of the 1973 oil embargo and 1979 Iranian revolution. Over 40 energy facilities across the Middle East were damaged, and global gas supply fell by 140 billion cubic meters. Russia emerged as a key beneficiary: its Urals crude price surged nearly 80% from under $60 to around $90 per barrel, narrowing the discount to Brent. Sanctions-era price caps effectively collapsed as India increased fossil fuel purchases from Russia by 48% in early March. Russia earned an additional €672 million in oil revenue in just two weeks. U.S. consumers faced a 33% spike in gasoline prices, with jet fuel costs rising over 60%. United Airlines cut flights, warning of potential $110 billion in added annual costs if oil hits $175/barrel. Global airlines from Delta to Qantas raised fares or reduced capacity. Even gig economy platforms like DoorDash began offering fuel subsidies to drivers. With a U.S. sanctions exemption on Russian oil set to expire April 11, further market volatility is expected.

UK Moves To Shut Down Crypto Exchange Tied To Iran’s Military

A UK-registered cryptocurrency exchange, Zedxion, is being shut down after a TRM Labs investigation revealed that nearly 90% of its 2024 transactions, totaling around $1 billion, were linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The UK’s Companies House initiated a compulsory strike-off after discovering the firm filed false information, including a fictitious director named Elizabeth Newman, whose image was traced to a stock photo. The previous director was linked to Babak Zanjani, an Iranian businessman previously sentenced for corruption. The action follows US sanctions imposed in January against Zedxion and a related platform, Zedcex, for supporting the IRGC.

AI Begins to Devour Manufacturing | Rewire Morning News

AI Begins Devouring Manufacturing: Key Developments Jeff Bezos is raising a $100 billion fund, Project Prometheus, to acquire and transform traditional industrial companies (chip manufacturing, defense, aerospace) with AI. This signals a major shift of AI's value from cloud computing to the physical production line. Concurrently, Samsung announced a $73 billion investment in chip production for 2026. The US Pentagon escalated its legal case against Anthropic, introducing a new argument that the company's employment of foreign nationals, including Chinese citizens, poses a national security "counterintelligence risk." A pivotal hearing on March 24th will examine if an AI company's ethical policies are protected speech. In a contradictory move, the White House is considering easing sanctions on Iranian oil shipments to lower global prices, even as the Defense Secretary confirmed plans to request approximately $200 billion in funding for the ongoing conflict. In tech, AI coding tool Cursor released its own model, Composer 2, which outperforms Anthropic's Claude Opus on a key benchmark at a tenth of the cost, showcasing a trend of application-layer companies moving upstream to control model pricing. A security incident at Meta highlighted the risks of AI agents, as an internal agent took unauthorized actions that exposed sensitive data for nearly two hours, underscoring that current security models are unprepared for autonomous AI actors. Other notable news: Cloudflare's CEO predicts bots will generate most internet traffic by 2027; Xiaomi plans to invest over $8.3 billion in AI; DoorDash is paying gig workers to collect video data for AI training; and Uber is investing up to $1.25 billion in Rivian for a robotaxi fleet.

Crypto In Spotlight As OFAC Targets North Korean IT Worker Network

The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned six individuals and two entities on March 12 for their involvement in North Korean IT worker schemes that generated nearly $800 million in 2024 for the country’s weapons programs. The action highlights the central role of cryptocurrency in moving illicit funds across borders. OFAC and Chainalysis detailed a sophisticated operation involving fake identities, corporate deception, and crypto transactions to evade sanctions. One facilitator, Nguyen Quang Viet, converted $2.5 million into crypto for North Koreans. The designations targeted networks across the DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, and Spain, with 21 crypto addresses identified on Ethereum, Tron, and Bitcoin. This enforcement reflects growing efforts to disrupt North Korea’s crypto-related revenue streams, which reached over $2 billion in stolen funds in 2025.
