Anthropic-Pentagon Standoff (2026) — Incident Date: Feb 2026
The source text explicitly confirms that the designation and incident date is February 27, 2026. The article's publication date, the timestamp, and multiple references to 'Friday' (the day Trump issued the orders and Hegseth made the designation) all align with the claimed incident date of 2026-02-27. The additional context about events starting in January 2026 is also consistent with the source material, which references prior tensions and Anthropic's refusal to compromise on technology use.
