US EditionUS Military's AI-Powered System Struck 6,000 Targets in Iran as War Enters Third Week
Anthropic’s Claude AI, integrated with Palantir’s Maven Smart System, enabled the U.S. military to conduct over 1,000 rapid strikes in the first 24 hours of the Iran conflict.
- As the war entered its third week, the U.S. military used Anthropic's Claude through Palantir's Maven Smart System to strike over 1,000 targets in Iran during the first 24 hours.
- Because AI produces target lists very quickly, commanders relied on Anthropic despite its $200 contract cancellation last Friday, with the company still embedded in Pentagon systems.
- Eyewitness and open-source intelligence reports corroborate that the Shajarah Tayyebeh primary school for girls strike killed at least 165, mostly girls aged seven to 12, with 96 injured, while Iran and Israel deny responsibility and the United States said it is looking into allegations.
- The reliance on AI complicates accountability as Claude experienced two global outages this week and strikes targeted at least three Amazon data centers in Dubai and Bahrain.
- Cheap Shahed-136 drones, which cost $34,000 t to produce, have been aimed by Iran at neighboring Gulf states since Saturday, with hundreds shot down and dozens reaching targets.

The Wall Street Journal and Axios reported the Trump administration’s decision came despite Anthropic’s announcement last week rejecting the use of its Claude AI model from being used for mass domestic surveillance or in fully autonomous weapons systems. The Journal reported U.S. military officials used the AI too…
When Death Strikes 900 Times In 12 Hours: Palantir's AI Play In Iran
Somewhere in the world a computer and a soldier 'spoke' and around 900 missiles hammered enemy targets, military bases and air defences, in 12 hours. If these lines seem disconnected, they are not - they capture the reality of wars today.
AI is being used in war, but it can’t replace human judgment. Here’s why
The U.S. military was able “to strike a blistering 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of its attack on Iran” thanks in part to its use of artificial intelligence, according to The Washington Post. The military has used Claude, the AI tool from Anthropic, combined with Palantir’s Maven system, for real-time targeting and target prioritization in support of combat operations in Iran and Venezuela. While Claude is only a few years old, the U.S. mi…
