Anthropic officially told by DOD that it's a supply chain risk even as Claude used in Iran

The U.S. Department of Defense has officially designated Anthropic (the company behind Claude, an AI model) as a supply chain risk, effective immediately, requiring defense contractors to certify they don't use Claude in their Pentagon work. This designation stems from a dispute over AI use restrictions: Anthropic wanted safeguards against autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, while the DOD demanded unrestricted access to Claude for all lawful military purposes. Anthropic stated it will challenge the designation in court.
