U.S. Military Uses Anthropic Claude For Iran Strike

On March 3, 2026, CBS News reported two sources say the U.S. military used Anthropic's Claude AI model over the weekend in an attack on Iran and continues to use it. The deployment persists despite President Trump ordering federal agencies to phase out Anthropic technology within six months and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calling the company a supply-chain risk. The Pentagon says Claude aids document synthesis and logistics.
