00:10A new weapon is part of the battlefield in West Asia.
00:13It's not a missile or a drone.
00:14It is artificial intelligence,
00:16specifically Anthropics Clawed platform.
00:19The US used Clawed to strike Iran.
00:23Clawed was used to map targets,
00:25identify patterns from the intelligence inputs
00:28and create military simulations.
00:30Now, this is very significant and interesting
00:33because just days before the attack on Iran,
00:35US President Donald Trump had declared war on Anthropic.
00:38He virtually banned Anthropics tools from the US military setup.
00:42They were labeled as a national security threat.
00:45Trump ordered American agencies to stop using Anthropics Clawed.
00:49The Pentagon called Anthropics a risk to America's supply chains.
00:54This is a kind of designation reserved only for rivals like Russia and China.
00:59They used it for Anthropic.
01:01And barely days later, Anthropics Clawed is helping the US strike Iran.
01:07The US may still stop using Clawed, but not immediately.
01:10The military establishment says it could take up to six months for them to change platforms.
01:15Meanwhile, details of this operation are also revealing.
01:19They demonstrate how AI is changing the battlefield.
01:23The US military began using Clawed in 2024.
01:26And since then, its role has grown quietly, but significantly.
01:31Reports say Clawed was used in Venezuela as well.
01:34For the operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
01:37They used Clawed.
01:38And now it has played a role in Iran too.
01:42So what does Clawed do for the US military?
01:45Most of us know the platform.
01:48It works like a chatbot.
01:49Something you can type in your questions into and the bot answers the queries.
01:53That's what we understand.
01:55But the US military uses a different version of Clawed.
01:58And in that system, Clawed is not a chatbot.
02:01In that system, it works like a powerful reasoning and analysis system.
02:06It processes vast amounts of intelligence data faster than a human.
02:10It can identify targets.
02:12It can identify patterns.
02:13And it can simulate war scenarios.
02:17You can think of it like a war room assistant.
02:20One that never misses any patterns.
02:22One of the primary users of Clawed, in fact,
02:25that is users of Clawed, is the US Central Command or CENTCOM.
02:31They use Clawed.
02:32Now CENTCOM is headquartered in Florida.
02:35CENTCOM looks after all US operations in West Asia.
02:39And how do they use Clawed?
02:41Broadly for three purposes.
02:43One is intelligence assessments.
02:46Second, target identification.
02:48And third, battle simulation.
02:50To put it simply, Clawed helps the US military decide
02:54who to strike, where to strike,
02:56and when, what can happen in an active battlefield next.
03:01And it gauges all of this based on previous data.
03:06CENTCOM was asked which of these systems was used in the Iran operations.
03:11And they decided not to share specifics.
03:14But some reports do confirm that Clawed was part of the operation.
03:18So did it play a role in the killing of Ali Khamenei?
03:21We do not know that.
03:23In fact, there is limited information about the whole operation,
03:26limited details, but here's what we know.
03:28The whole thing was intelligence driven.
03:30The planning began months ago.
03:32Reports say the CIA had been watching Khamenei's movements for months.
03:36Over a period of time, they were able to build a picture
03:40about the locations that Khamenei visited,
03:42his movement patterns, his routines.
03:45Recently, the CIA had an intelligence breakthrough.
03:48They learned that a meeting has been convened.
03:52A meeting will be held on Saturday, 28th February, which was yesterday.
03:57The CIA learned that Iran's top leadership would be present in that meeting,
04:00including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei himself.
04:05And they learned that the meeting would happen in a compound in Tehran.
04:08The CIA had all this information.
04:10They passed it on to the Israelis,
04:12who then carried out the mission yesterday.
04:16It began at around 6 a.m. in Israel.
04:18Fighter jets lifted off from their bases.
04:21They were armed with long-range precision munitions,
04:23weapons which can conduct surgical strikes.
04:26At around 9.30 a.m. in Tehran,
04:28a missile struck that compound.
04:31It took out senior Iranian officials,
04:33along with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
04:36So the intelligence was accurate.
04:39And that can be the difference between victory and defeat in a war.
04:42Intelligence has always been critical in a war.
04:45What is new is speed.
04:48Because AI is now inside the decision-making process.
04:53Thankfully, AI is not taking decisions just yet.
04:56But it is making the process faster.
04:59Data that took days to process can now be assessed within hours.
05:04And what happened in Iran is a demonstration of that shift.
05:11Power doesn't end quietly.
05:14Some deaths are not accidents.
05:17They are messages.
05:19A gunshot.
05:21A crowd.
05:23A country frozen.
05:25The killer disappears.
05:27The questions don't.
05:29This is not just about who died.
05:32It's about what followed.
05:34Governments fell.
05:36Armies moved.
05:37History rewrote itself.
05:40Five leaders.
05:42Five moments.
05:45One pattern.
05:47The assassination.
06:08One pattern.
06:08One pattern.
06:09One pattern.
