大疆反击美国无人机禁令 指FCC做法违宪

发布时间 / 来源

中国无人机制造商大疆创新向美国第九巡回上诉法院提交复议请愿书，对美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）将其列入受管制清单的决定提出挑战。

据彭博社报道，大疆在请愿书中称，被加入黑名单在程序和实质上都存在缺陷，FCC未能识别出任何与该公司或其产品相关的国家安全威胁。

大疆星期二（2月24日）声明中表示，这些缺陷违反了美国宪法和联邦法律。

据路透社报道，FCC去年12月22日将大疆创新和道通智能以及所有外国制造的无人机及零部件列入受管制清单。

FCC认定这些外国公司对美国国家安全构成不可接受的风险。被列入受管制清单，意味着外国无人机公司无法在美国销售新型无人机或关键零部件。

4 military working dogs died because of “unsatisfactory kennel facilities,” Pentagon watchdog finds

February 24, 2026 / 6:17 PM EST / CBS News

Four military working dogs died between the 2021 and 2023 fiscal years because they were housed and trained in “aging and unsatisfactory kennel facilities,” the Defense Department inspector general found, although the Air Force disputes the deaths were the result of neglect.

An Air Force spokesperson said autopsies determined one of the dogs died of severe bronchopneumonia and three died due to extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli pneumonia. The autopsies did not attribute the deaths to neglect, the spokesperson said.

But the Air Force concurs with the overall recommendation in the report to increase the number of caretakers for military working dogs and to develop a plan to upgrade all of the kennel facilities.

The inspector general in a report published last week found the military working dog program did not consistently protect dogs in non-training status “from extreme weather conditions and kennel mold issues, or manage quarantine and isolation areas.”

Investigators visited 12 installations of different service branches with dog programs, including North Carolina’s Fort Bragg, where they found “mold in the light fixtures, ceiling tiles, and equipment room” of one of the buildings. Another building was closed because of mold growth.

In addition to the aging facilities around the country, investigators found a group of about 200 dogs at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland, in Texas — where all the dogs undergo their initial training — did not receive the required amount of physical or social activity because of a caretaker shortage.

Instead of the five hours of physical activity, social, and cognitive enrichment that are required for the dogs each day, the report found the dogs were walked for about 10 minutes, four times a week, or less.

The investigators focused on dogs that were in “non-training status,” meaning they are not awaiting deployment, have a medical disposition, or are in a rejected-from-training status.

In general, the dogs that are in training status receive “sufficient” physical and social activity. At the time of the site visit, the unit had about 230 military dogs that were not in training status.

In total, the Pentagon has over 2,200 Working Dog Teams across 182 locations worldwide and provides dogs to agencies at the state and federal level, the Air Force spokesperson said.

The inspector general recommended that the secretary of the Air Force reduce the number of dogs at the training squadron until there are enough caretakers to provide adequate care, and also said a plan should be developed to upgrade the kennel facilities so that they meet current Defense Department standards.

The dogs at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland showed behaviors like “continuous spinning, jumping, chewing on their metal water buckets, and excessive vocalization,” according to investigators, that were signs of the lack of physical and social activity. They also showed physical signs of heat stress, “including rapid panting with enlarged tongues and ears swept back.”

The training squadron told investigators it lacked the manpower for the required five hours of physical activity but did try to provide some enrichment through “inflatables, audio books, music, and scented bubble machines.” Investigators said this was not sufficient.

In response to the recommendations, the Air Force assistant deputy chief of staff for logistics said the program now is allowing the training squadron to hire more caretakers for the military working dogs and would reduce the number of dogs in “non-training status.”

Iran’s shadowy chemical weapons program draws scrutiny as reports allege use against protesters

Foundation for Defense of Democracies report comes as US-regime talks set to continue Thursday in Geneva

By Chris Massaro

Published February 24, 2026 4:43pm EST

A new report from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) raises concerns about Iran’s opaque chemical weapons program, which argues policymakers have paid little attention to compared with Iran’s more scrutinized nuclear weapons program.

The FDD report outlines how the Iranian regime may have resorted to the unconventional use of chemical weapons while it faced an unprecedented uprising beginning in December 2025, a wave of unrest Tehran has not seen since the 1979 Islamic revolution. Any use of chemical weapons by Iran would be in defiance of their obligations under the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention.

“The United States, its allies and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) should investigate credible claims that Iran’s regime used chemical weapons against its own people,” Andrea Stricker, deputy director of FDD’s nonproliferation program and author of the report, told Fox News Digital.

Iran’s illicit chemical weapons program is under renewed scrutiny as the Trump administration appears closer to taking military action against Iran and its nuclear weapons program.

While the U.S. has been engaged in indirect talks with Iranian officials mediated by Oman in Geneva, the U.S. has increased its military presence in the Persian Gulf, sending the USS Gerald R. Ford to join dozens of other warships to the region.

On Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi posted on X that “Iran will resume talks with the U.S. in Geneva with a determination to achieve a fair and equitable deal—in the shortest possible time.”

The foreign minister claimed that Iran will not pursue nuclear weapons under any circumstances but emphasized that Iran will not forgo its right to harness peaceful nuclear technology.

[ISRAELI OFFICIALS REPORTEDLY WARN IRAN’S BALLISTIC MISSILES COULD TRIGGER SOLO MILITARY ACTION AGAINST TEHRAN]

“A deal is within reach, but only if diplomacy is given priority,” he added.

Despite the optimism and push for continued talks, there remain fears that Iran will not make any meaningful concessions on their nuclear program, which could lead to U.S. military strikes on the nation.

A broader regime change campaign to topple the Islamic republic’s government, led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is also not off the table, according to some reports.

“If Washington launches strikes against Iran, it should give serious consideration to targeting the regime’s chemical weapons research and production facilities. Such action would help halt further development and potential use of these weapons while sending a clear message that the regime cannot commit atrocities with impunity,” Stricker said.

The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which Iran is party to, upholds the norms against state-held chemical weapons, specifically, banning states’ development, stockpiling, production and use of chemical weapons, even for retaliatory reasons, as well as their receipt from or transfer to anyone.

Israel’s deputy ambassador to the Netherlands, Yaron Wax, said in July 2025 before a special meeting of the OPCW that “over the past two decades Iran has been developing a chemical weapons program based on weaponized pharmaceutical agents.”

These agents, Wax said, impact the central nervous system and can be fatal even in small doses.

The ambassador said at the Shahid Meisami Research Complex, destroyed by Israel in June 2025, Iran’s Shahid Meisami Group (SMG) was working on fentanyl opioid-derived tactical munitions for military use. Israel believes the pharmaceutical-based agents were transferred to Syria’s longtime and now deposed dictator, Bashar al-Assad, and Iraqi Shia militias as well.

Iran began developing its chemical weapons program in 1983 during its war with Iraq in response to chemical attacks from the regime of Saddam Hussein, according to the U.S. Intelligence Community.

As recently as 2024, the U.S. has repeatedly found Iran in noncompliance with its obligations under the CWC.

In a post on X in November 2024, the Iranian mission to the United Nations pushed back on the charges against it. “A victim of Western-donated chemical weapons employed by the Saddam regime, Iran stands as a responsible member of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Over the past several decades, not a single instance of Iranian violation has been recorded. The current unfounded reports are merely an outgrowth of psychological warfare propagated by the Zionist regime in the wake of its recent defeat on the Lebanese front.”

[TRUMP WARNS IRAN, DELAYS STRIKES AS RED LINE DEBATE ECHOES OBAMA’S SYRIA MOMENT]

Stricker says the U.S. and international community have failed to hold Iran accountable for its illegal chemical weapons program, and meaningful action must be taken to prevent Iran from transporting banned substances to Iran’s nefarious proxy actors in the Middle East.

The report notes that the U.S. and OPCW should launch a pressure campaign against Iran, calling out the regime and publicizing any violations. The Trump administration, the report recommends, should demand a formal ultimatum to demonstrate compliance with the convention and accept monitoring and verification mechanisms.

FDD also suggests Israel should ratify the CWC and work within the OPCW, which would give Israel more credibility in combating Iranian violations.

The report says that, as a last resort, the U.S. should consider launching strikes targeting regime chemical weapons facilities, or support Israeli efforts, if actionable intelligence indicates movement on Iran’s chemical weapons efforts or a renewed push by the regime to use such illegal weapons to crack down on anti-government protests.

“The only solution to Iran’s persistent WMD threat is for the United States and Israel to undermine the regime’s grip on power. Until then, the two nations will periodically be forced to play whack-a-mole with Tehran’s capabilities whenever they endanger regional peace,” Stricker said.

俄入侵四周年 联大通过决议捍卫乌克兰领土不可分割

联合国大会2月24日以107票赞成、12票反对、51票弃权的投票结果，通过支持乌克兰持久和平的决议草案。 （路透社）

在俄乌战争四周年纪念日，联合国大会以压倒性多数通过一项支持乌克兰持久和平的决议草案，捍卫乌克兰的国际边界，并对俄罗斯加剧袭击平民和关键能源基础设施表达关切。

路透社报道，联合国大会星期二（2月24日）以107票赞成、12票反对、51票弃权的投票结果，通过支持乌克兰的决议。

联大此次投票被视为与乌克兰展现团结的一次考验。这项决议虽不具法律约束力，但具有政治分量。

投票结果显示，俄罗斯、白罗斯、苏丹投了反对票，中国和美国投弃权票。

由15个成员国组成的联合国安全理事会在俄乌战争期间一直陷入僵局。由于俄罗斯拥有否决权，安理会无法就乌克兰问题采取行动。

联合国秘书长古特雷斯在随后举行的安理会会议上发表声明说，俄乌战争仍然是“我们集体良心上的污点”，并再次呼吁立即停火。

在另一场联合国活动，数十个国家包括法国、英国、加拿大、日本、秘鲁，在日内瓦举行的人权理事会会议期间齐聚一堂，同声谴责俄罗斯的侵犯人权行为，重申对乌克兰的支持。

挪威外交部长艾德在会上说：“俄罗斯在乌克兰的所作所为，违反了联合国的所有原则。联合国所代表的一切都遭到践踏。”

艾德最后以“荣耀归于乌克兰！”结束讲话。

Hegseth demands full military access to Anthropic’s AI model Claude and sets deadline for end of week

Updated on: February 24, 2026 / 4:15 PM EST / CBS News

Trust is breaking down between the Pentagon and Anthropic over the use of its AI model, sources familiar with the situation told CBS News.

In a meeting at the Pentagon Tuesday morning, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei until the end of this week to give the military a signed document that would grant full access to its artificial intelligence model, the sources said.

Officials are considering invoking the Defense Production Act to make Anthropic adhere to what the military is seeking, they said. Axios reported earlier on some of what transpired in the meeting.

Defense officials want full control of Anthropic’s AI technology for use in its military operations, sources told CBS News. The company was awarded a $200 million contract by the Pentagon in July to develop AI capabilities that would advance U.S. national security.

Anthropic has repeatedly asked the Defense Department to agree to guardrails that would restrict the AI model, called Claude, from conducting mass surveillance of Americans, sources said. Defense officials noted that that’s illegal and said the military is simply asking for a license to use the AI strictly for lawful activities.

Amodei also wants to ensure Claude is not used by the Pentagon for final targeting decisions in military operations without any human involvement, one source familiar with the meeting said. Claude is not immune from hallucinations and not reliable enough to avoid potentially lethal mistakes, like unintended escalation or mission failure without human judgment, the person said.

But when asked for comment, a senior Pentagon official said: “This has nothing to do with mass surveillance and autonomous weapons being used. The Pentagon has only given out lawful orders.”

The official said Grok, which is owned by Elon Musk’s xAI, is on board with being used in a classified setting, and other AI companies are close.

In Tuesday’s meeting, Hegseth told Amodei that when the government purchases Boeing planes, the aerospace company has no say in how the Pentagon uses the planes. He argued the same should be true for the military’s use of Claude.

After Amodei left, officials discussed whether to use the Defense Production Act in this situation, which enables the government to exert control over domestic industries.

But because officials say they aren’t sure the government can trust Anthropic at this point, the Pentagon may decide to officially designate the company as a “supply chain risk” to push them out of government, two sources said. Anthropic was the first tech company authorized to work on the military’s classified networks.

An Anthropic spokesperson said in a statement, “We continued good-faith conversations about our usage policy to ensure Anthropic can continue to support the government’s national security mission in line with what our models can reliably and responsibly do.”

Hegseth gave Anthropic a deadline of 5 p.m. Friday.

在美国最高法院成功挑战总统特朗普全球关税政策的一批小型企业，已向美国下级法院申请重启诉讼程序，以便启动向政府申请关税退款的程序。

彭博社报道，代表这些小型企业的律师星期二（2月24日）要求美国联邦巡回上诉法院正式确认去年作出的裁决，即认定特朗普所谓的“对等”关税政策违法。

一旦确认裁决，此案将重回美国国际贸易法院，由国际贸易法院决定后续步骤，包括是否应向进口商退回款项。

美国最高法院九名大法官20日以6比3的投票结果维持了下级法院的这一裁决，裁定特朗普援引1977年《国际紧急经济权力法》（IEEPA）加征“对等”关税逾越总统权限，构成违宪。

Investors brace for a State of the Union speech that may fuel anxiety

February 24, 2026 7:53 PM UTC / Reuters

Summary

• Investors fear Trump’s speech may increase market anxiety
• Potential topics include Iran, tariffs, and Federal Reserve governance
• Trump’s affordability focus may affect bond market and credit card rates

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island/NEW YORK, Feb 24 (Reuters) – The State of the Union speech from President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening comes at a pivotal point for investors, sideswiped by market turbulence in recent months and craving stability.

Days after the Supreme Court overturned Trump’s emergency-powers tariffs, market participants are preparing for a speech that could touch on potentially market-moving policies, from trade to affordability to Iran.

The Week in Breakingviews newsletter offers insights and ideas from Reuters’ global financial commentary team. Sign up here.

The stock market during Trump’s second term has been volatile as investors react to the Republican’s push to overhaul U.S. trade relationships.

While the S&P 500 has gained 13% in the 400 days since Trump’s January 2025 inauguration, the benchmark has barely increased in 2026 as Wall Street lags international stock markets and the dollar trades near 2022 lows.

“Just as the winter storms in the Northeast have been adding to the piles of snow on the roads, I’m afraid that this speech is just going to add to the levels of anxiety in the market,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA. This year, he adds, the crowded policy agenda “makes everything a little less predictable.”

State of the Union speeches have historically had little impact on financial markets, Stovall and other market participants noted, given that they tend to serve as occasions for incumbent presidents to trumpet their achievements and lay out broad policy agendas. But they caution that Trump could do everything from laying out his case for a military campaign against Iran to arguing for more aggressive replacement tariffs than he has announced.

There is a long list of items on the president’s policy agenda that, if Trump speaks about them, could shake up financial markets, noted Michael Rosen, chief investment officer at Angeles Investments. These range from political priorities such as Iran, where any ultimatum could send crude oil prices sharply higher, to Federal Reserve governance.

The president plans to use the speech to showcase the administration’s achievements, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement to Reuters. He will also spell out “an ambitious agenda to continue bringing the American Dream back for working people,” Leavitt said.

AFFORDABILITY QUESTION LOOMS LARGE

Part of that agenda is likely tackling affordability, which market participants expect to be a hot-button issue for voters during midterm congressional elections in November. The president has previously claimed victory against inflation, while proposing measures to address the high costs of home ownership.

He is also expected to talk about the administration’s plans to roll out “Trump accounts,” government-supported investment accounts for babies, as part of this affordability focus.

“He could propose other ideas around mortgage affordability that might impact the bond market,” said Tom Graff, chief investment officer at Facet. “There is also the proposed 10% cap on credit card interest rates. There could be new details around that, which is definitely being closely watched by Wall Street.”

Any suggestion of a plan to send stimulus checks to taxpayers ahead of the midterm elections would raise fears of rising deficit levels and send bond yields higher, Rosen said.

Even if Trump uses the speech to take a victory lap, as a note to clients from Beacon Policy Advisors published on Monday suggests, investors said that approach might not reassure markets, especially if, as Beacon analysts suggested, it is combined with an insistence that he will continue to rely on executive action to implement his policies.

“That’s been the recipe for so much chaos, confusion and uncertainty in the last year that the idea of more of that in 2026 would spook a lot of folks,” said Stovall.

Democratic state AGs announce lawsuit against Trump administration over US vaccine policy

NEW YORK, Feb 24 (Reuters) – Two Democratic state attorneys general announced a multistate lawsuit against the Trump administration on Tuesday over recent changes to the federal government’s childhood vaccine schedule, as medical organizations and public health experts warn the changes could lower inoculation rates.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has upended longstanding vaccine policies since taking his position.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a that removed universal recommendations for vaccines against COVID-19, rotavirus, influenza, meningococcal disease, hepatitis A and hepatitis B, stating that parents should consult with healthcare providers under what it calls shared clinical decision-making.

The California and Arizona attorneys general said 14 states and Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, all Democrats, would file a complaint in a Northern California federal court on Tuesday challenging those changes, according to a press release.

The lawsuit would also challenge Kennedy’s replacement of members serving on the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Reuters previously reported that the California AG’s office was preparing the lawsuit.

That CDC panel is set to meet in March, after its previously scheduled session in February was canceled.

The multistate lawsuit would mirror a separate legal action previously filed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and other leading medical organizations that argued the policy overhaul was illegal and not driven by scientific evidence.

An attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice said at a hearing earlier this month that the U.S. health agency was not pursuing an anti-vaccine agenda. A Massachusetts federal judge has not yet decided that case.

Other states participating in the multistate challenge include Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey and Wisconsin, according to the press release.

Judge holds DHS officials in contempt, orders compensation to Mexican national released in winter storm

Fernando Gutierrez Torres was transferred to Texas despite judicial prohibition, then released in El Paso when winter storm disrupted return flight

By Alexandra Koch
Fox News
Published February 24, 2026 1:43pm EST

A federal judge in Minnesota ruled on Monday to hold government officials in civil contempt for violating a judicial order that prohibited the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from transferring detainee Fernando Gutierrez Torres, a Mexican national.

U.S. District Judge Eric Tostrud, who was appointed by President Donald Trump in 2018, found that despite an earlier order prohibiting Torres’ transfer out of Minnesota, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) moved him to Texas without notifying his attorney.

A judge granted Torres’ habeas petition and ordered ICE to release him from custody “as soon as practicable, but not later than 48 hours” after the order was entered, according to court documents.

Filings state a major winter storm in Texas led to a state of emergency declaration, and Torres’ ICE-scheduled flight was canceled.

The agency realized the earliest they could reschedule his return to Minnesota was Jan. 27, which would be past the 48-hour release deadline mandated by the court.

In a rush to comply with that 48-hour deadline, the agency decided to release him immediately in El Paso, Texas, rather than waiting to fly him back to Minnesota.

His belongings were allegedly withheld when he was freed, according to court documents.

JUDGE THREATENS CONTEMPT FOR ICE LEADER, ORDERS HIM TO APPEAR IN COURT

Tostrud ruled the haste to meet the deadline did not excuse the agency’s contempt because ICE should not have violated the original court order by transferring Torres to Texas in the first place, and ordered the government to pay for Torres’ nearly $570 flight home, which was initially covered by his attorney.

The government claimed the decision to transfer Torres was not made in “willful disregard for [sic] the Court’s order.”

“It is undisputable the Agency needed to consult with the undersigned counsel before making the decision to release Petitioner in Texas,” attorneys wrote. “That did not happen. Respondent acknowledges [his] release in Texas was not in compliance with the expectations and Order of this Court.”

FEDERAL JUDGE BACKS AWAY FROM THREAT TO HOLD ICE LEADER IN CONTEMPT

Government lawyers added they are “deeply remorseful” and offered their “sincere apologies for the situation.”

Tostrud gave the administration an opportunity to file a motion for an evidentiary hearing before March 1, after which the judgment will go into effect.

In addition, the government can identify the specific person or entity that violated the order.

Court documents did not note what led to Torres’ initial arrest, with the administration citing “alleged immigration-law violations.”

DHS did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
