Pentagon Announces Plan To Launch ‘Autonomous Warfare Command’ To Leverage ‘Super Intelligence’ In Warfare

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Wednesday announced plans to create a new four-star combatant command to leverage AI in warfare. During a “State of the Force” address at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, Hegseth said the Autonomous Warfare Command (AUTOWARCOM) would be tasked with scaling “autonomous and robotic capabilities across the Joint Force in the fastest peacetime shift in modern military history.”

The Pentagon intends to launch AUTOWARCOM by October 2027, but it will need to secure Congressional approval to do so. If approved, AUTOWARCOM will become the military’s 12th combatant command. The last new command was US Space Command, launched in 2019 under the first Trump Administration.

Israeli minister calls for war in West Bank, says Israel should ‚do what it did in Gaza‘

„I certainly have solutions. I think we need to go to war in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). To do there what we did in Gaza. To dismantle the Palestinian Authority, which is a terror authority,“ he said.

Asked what war would mean, Smotrich pointed to earlier Israeli operations in West Bank refugee camps.

„We already did it. There are three refugee camps there that are empty, that we evacuated the population from for its protection and cleansed of all the terror. I want to kill all the terrorists and collect all the weapons,“ he said.

Neues Bundespolizeigesetz: Der Bundestag hat das Zeitalter der automatisierten Überwachung eingeläutet

(July 10, 2026)

2016 hatte das Bundesverfassungsgericht wesentliche Teile des BKA-Gesetzes für verfassungswidrig erklärt. Heimliche Überwachung darf nur in engen Grenzen stattfinden, so der Tenor. Da sich viele Regelungen aus dem BKA-Gesetz auch im Bundespolizeigesetz fanden, wurde auch dessen Entschärfung notwendig. Und aus dieser Entschärfung ist nun eine Verschärfung und damit der Beginn einer neuen Ära der Kontrolle geworden.

Bombs loaded, targets picked: Why Trump pulled back from striking Houthis

There is another crucial consideration: the Houthis have so far avoided attacking American ships under an understanding reached with Washington.

Trump told Fox News on Sunday that the United States remained in communication with the group and said the Houthis had agreed not to fight the US.

A senior Houthi official separately told AP that the group did not intend to target American vessels. Oman-mediated discussions have also reaffirmed the 2025 US-Houthi ceasefire arrangement.

Trump initially resisted launching airstrikes during meetings with advisers Wednesday but later ordered the Pentagon to prepare for military action following a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Thursday, the report said.

The Saudi crown prince urged Trump to intervene directly amid rapid territorial gains by the Houthis in Yemen, according to the newspaper.

Trump returns to White House earlier than expected

The administration did not give a reason for the change of plans. Trump was originally scheduled to depart Camp David later on Sunday local time.

Trump’s return to the White House came after the US State Department issued an alert to US citizens in the Middle East, warning that hostilities between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen have “the potential to escalate rapidly”.

Saudi Arabia on Saturday confirmed that Yemen’s Houthi rebels tried to attack its capital with a ballistic missile, the first targeting of Riyadh since the escalation in fighting with the Tehran-backed rebels that has opened a new front in the Iran war.

The statement by the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis came long after the dawn attempt, which the coalition said was intercepted. Some residents in Riyadh heard an explosion. Later, some saw a plume of smoke near the airport. There were no reports of casualties or damage.

Iran: Civilians trapped between extreme State repression and violations arising from devastating conflict with US, Israel, UN Fact-Finding Mission finds

17 September 2026

GENEVA – Civilians in Iran are caught between gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity committed by their own Government and the nation’s deadly conflict with the United States and Israel, the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran said today. In its latest report, the Mission also found reasonable grounds to believe that the United States committed war crimes during a pair of airstrikes which killed at least 178 civilians, including women and children.

Submitted to the Human Rights Council in Geneva, the report concluded that the Government‘s violent repression of the 2025–2026 protests marked an unprecedented escalation from past crackdowns, marked by the widespread use of lethal force resulting in mass killings and injuries, and extensive arrests.

Statement of the African Union Commission on the Escalation in the Red Sea Region

The Commission condemns the attacks carried out by the Houthis against civilian targets and economic infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, as well as attacks and threats against commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

The Commission expresses particular concern over reports of attempted attacks targeting Makkah and other holy cities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It stresses that holy sites, as well as civilians and pilgrims visiting them, must be fully protected and must under no circumstances become targets of military action.

The Commission further strongly reaffirms the principle of freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, in accordance with international law. Any action aimed at obstructing or threatening navigation along this strategic maritime route poses a serious risk not only to the littoral States, but also to international trade, global supply chains, energy security and African economies.

The articles also address how Hegseth has ignored US laws designed to mitigate civilian casualties, his role in extrajudicial executions at sea (strikes on alleged drug-running boats), the attack on Venezuela to abduct President Maduro, the bombing campaign in Yemen last year, and his efforts to chill free speech.
