Pentagon Review Links Palantir's Maven AI to Strike That Killed 120 Iranian Children
An internal Pentagon review found Palantir's Maven AI recommended striking a school in Minab based on outdated databases that still listed it as an IRGC site. Two Tomahawk missiles killed over 150 people, including about 120 children, on February 28, while civilian-harm mitigation staff fell roughly 90%.
- Maven fuses over 150 data sources and flagged the school as a day-one target
- Pentagon civilian-harm mitigation staff fell about 90% to fewer than 20 people
- A 2019 analyst's warning never reached the strike planning team
- Over 120 House Democrats demand answers on Maven's role in the strike
