"US uses Anthropic AI, B-2 bombers and suicide drones in Iran strikes" 01/03/26

The Pentagon used artificial intelligence services from Anthropic, including its Claude tools, during its attack on Iran, according to a source familiar with the situation.

The operation came a day after the U.S. declared Anthropic a supply chain risk, implying it is a threat to national security. President Donald Trump on Friday also directed the government to stop working with the start-up.

Reuters could not determine how the tools were used in the war effort.

The Pentagon and Anthropic did not immediately return a request for comment.
