#Pentagon considering renaming Iran war
“…renaming operations with a new name, like “Sledgehammer,” to suggest they would be different than current “Epic Fury.”
They argue that renaming the operation would restart the clock of the 1973 War Powers Act that requires congressional authorization to continue it after sixty days, a deadline that ran out on May 1.”

In 2024 we learned about the IDF's AI system #Lavender that ranked the entire population of #Gaza by “probability of militant affiliation". With a targeting system called "Where's Daddy", so they could hit #AI determined targets at home, the #IDF allowing up to 100 civilians killed per "militant". The rubble of Gaza is the result.
I tell you that story to tell you this one.

#Trump is withdrawing 5k troops from #Germany
The #US is withdrawing 5k troops from Germany, the #Pentagon announced Friday, in a rebuke to the close #NATO ally amid a widening rift between Trump & #Europe over the #Iran #war.
Trump had threatened a drawdown in forces earlier this week after sparring with German Chancellor Friedrich #Merz, who said the Iranians were humiliating the US in talks to end the 2-month-old war.
The #Pentagon said it had reached agreements with 7 leading #AI companies to deploy their advanced capabilities on the #Defense Dept's #classified networks.
#SpaceX, #OpenAI, #Google, #NVIDIA, #Reflection, #Microsoft & #Amazon Web Services [#AWS] will be integrated into the Pentagon's Impact Levels 6 & 7 network environments to "streamline data synthesis, elevate situational understanding, & augment warfighter decision-making in complex operational environments.”
#Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth is facing questioning from lawmakers for the first time since the #Trump admin launched the #war against #Iran, which Democrats have contested as a costly conflict of choice waged without congressional approval.
The chief financial official for the #Pentagon told lawmakers that the estimated cost to #US taxpayers of the #IranWar is $25 billion so far.
