️ US used Claude in Iran strikes hours after Trump called for a ban

The Wall Street Journal reports that US Central Command used Claude during recent strikes on Iran.

The system supported intelligence assessments, target identification, and combat scenario modeling.

Formally, this does not violate Trump’s order. Agencies have 6 months to phase out Claude.

The timing stands out.

On Friday, Anthropic refused to accept Pentagon terms. The same day, Trump urged agencies to stop using Claude and called Anthropic “radical.”

Hours later, Claude was used in a live military operation.
