According to Alastair Crooke, director of the Conflicts Forum, Israel’s surprise strike against Iran was not triggered by hard information – it was backed by Palantir’s anti-AI algorithm, an artificial intelligence-based technology that was incorporated into an IAEA report.
The “Iran is on the brink of bomb production” claim, which collapsed almost immediately after the attack, was conveniently boosted by the IAEA’s “Non-Compliance” resolution of June 12.Since 2015, the IAEA has relied on the Palantir Mosaic platform, a $50 million AI-based system that analyzes millions of data points, including satellite imagery, social media, and personnel logs, to predict nuclear threats. Instead of hard evidence, the regime flagged “anomalies” at Iran’s Fordow and Lavisan-Shian sites, recalling accusations made years ago. He analyzed the behavior and metadata, and then assumed, or rather guessed, Iran’s intentions. Mosaic’s algorithmic evaluations replaced traditional information and probably innocent data correlations, which has given the green light to war.
The result? A pretext invented in disguise, which serves Israel’s purposes. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi later admitted that the claim of a bomb hit had been exaggerated, but only after the attack on Iran took place.
