... Artificial Intelligence Systems placed the Iranian girls school on the recommended military bombing runs they sold to the USA as an intelligence contractor. This is where 175 little girls and teachers were killed directly caused by information from Palantir that this location housed a viable and ongoing military operation (info derived from their AI) and was ripe for being bombed by the US Military.

*********
On the first morning of Operation Epic Fury, 28 February 2026, American forces struck the Shajareh
Tayyebeh primary school in Minab, in southern Iran, hitting the building at least two times during the morning session. American forces killed between 175 and 180 people, most of them girls between the ages of seven and 12.

The targeting for Operation Epic Fury bombing runs ran on a system called Maven. Nobody was arguing about Maven being owned by Palantir Technologies who's owner is Peter Thiel.

Eight years ago, Maven was the most contested project in Silicon Valley. In 2018, more than 4,000 Google employees signed a letter opposing the company’s contract to build artificial intelligence for the Pentagon’s targeting systems. Workers organised a walk out. Engineers quit. And Google ultimately abandoned the contract. Palantir Technologies, a data analytics company and defence contractor co-founded by Peter Thiel, took it over and spent the next six years building Maven into a targeting infrastructure that pulls together satellite imagery, signals intelligence and sensor data to identify targets and carry them through every step from first detection to the order to strike.
