US Military Confirms AI Tools Deployed in Iran War for Target Analysis

CENTCOM Commander Admiral Cooper confirmed deployment of 'advanced AI tools' to process datasets and accelerate targeting decisions from hours to seconds. The military insists humans retain final targeting authority, but the confirmation arrives amid over 1,300 civilian deaths including the Minab school strike. The Pentagon blacklisted Anthropic as a 'supply chain risk' after the company refused to allow Claude in autonomous weapons systems.
