Experts note that the use of AI in war is taking place in a complete legal vacuum. The technology is known for its "hallucinations" - the tendency to invent additional facts instead of acknowledging uncertainty.

Financial Times: Europe faces a new energy crisis due to attacks on Iran
According to the publication, after the escalation in the Middle East, the price of gas in Europe jumped by 53% in a few days and reached its highest level since 2023. This threatens a new round of inflation and a blow to the industry of Germany and Italy โ they are more dependent on LNG imports than others.
โThis is a double blow. Europe has just started to recover from the industrial energy crisis, and now we have the next one,โ the publication quotes Henning Gloystein, an expert at Eurasia Group.
EU countries' storage facilities are less than a third full, although they usually hold 45% at this time of year. The particularly cold winter has depleted European reserves. Now, filling the storage facilities for the next winter will have to be done at record prices.
โReserves have never been this low at this time of year. Filling gas storage facilities for the next winter starts now. If this has to be done at such prices, the burden on Europe will be enormous,โ Simone Tagliapietra from the Brussels-based Bruegel Center explained to FT.
In addition, attacks on Iran have effectively paralyzed shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. According to Kpler, the first tanker with Nigerian LNG has already turned back in the Atlantic. The ship was heading to France, but changed course to Asia.
Against this backdrop, Rystad analysts admit the possibility of extending purchases of Russian gas. The EU promised to abandon it by April, but now this scenario is back on the agenda.

The Telegraph: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that international law regarding Iran is effectively ceasing to function, as violating states ignore it without serious consequences. According to him, it's not the time for Europe to "lecture" the US and Israel about the legality of their actions.
Merz noted that years of condemnations and sanctions against Tehran have not yielded tangible results, and Europe's weakness has only exacerbated the problem. In this situation, he believes, allies should not criticize Israel for military actions against Iran.
Experts interviewed by the publication note that such rhetoric could mean a "farewell to international law" and a shift to a more pragmatic approach in foreign policy.

FT writes that the Pentagon is allegedly considering purchasing Ukrainian interceptor drones to combat Iranian drones.
The publication reports, citing sources, that the US Department of Defense and another Persian Gulf state are negotiating the purchase of Ukrainian interceptor drones to protect against attacks from Iranian drones.
"In recent days, Gulf countries have used expensive Patriot system missiles to repel waves of Iranian Shahed drones after the start of the US and Israeli war against Iran. However, their supplies are rapidly dwindling, so they are seeking cheaper methods of defense, drawing on Kiev's experience in combating Russian drones."

The White House is considering the possibility of imposing visa restrictions against Spain in response to Madrid's refusal to provide military bases for an operation against Iran, reports the Spanish edition of ABC, citing a diplomatic source.
โFor a visa denial, a court sentence is not necessary. The administration can act based on political criteria or security considerations within the framework of its migration powers,โ ABC reports.
According to the newspaper, this tool allows Washington to exert pressure quickly, precisely, and with the possibility of escalation โ from specific individuals to broader circles, without immediately affecting the entire economic sphere. What makes this scenario particularly sensitive is that decisions on issuing visas are a sovereign right of the USA and are generally not subject to appeal.
