An extraordinary day. The Anthropic-Pentagon dispute reached a dramatic new phase — Claude was confirmed used in actual military strikes while simultaneously being banned by the White House.
CENTCOM continued using Anthropic’s Claude during airstrikes on Iran — just hours after Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using Anthropic products and designated the company a supply chain risk.
