Several outlets report that a senior Pentagon official states the United States has used xAI’s Grok chatbot technology to support military operations involving missile launches against Iran. The claim is attributed to Cameron Stanley, the Department of Defense’s chief digital and artificial intelligence officer, who reportedly included the information in a sworn statement. According to the reports, Stanley describes Grok as playing a role in enabling U.S. forces to deploy missile strikes during the conflict and says the underlying data infrastructure that powers the chatbot is treated as a matter of national security. The coverage also notes that Grok/xAI technology has been used across the “Iran war,” as referenced in the statement. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis and phrasing—some cite specific numbers of missiles reportedly linked to Grok-enabled deployment—while all describe the same core allegation: that Pentagon AI leadership says Grok contributed to launching or supporting thousands of missiles during operations against Iran. The reports do not provide independent, publicly verifiable operational details beyond the statement’s account.
