A Bloomberg investigation, cited by NDTV, reports that an internal Pentagon review found outdated intelligence, incorrect site classification and heavy reliance on AI contributed to the February 28 strike on Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran. Two Tomahawk missiles struck the school, killing more than 150 people, including at least 123 children, according to the report. The site had once been part of a military compound but had operated as a school for years, while older intelligence continued to classify it as an IRGC facility. US personnel reportedly relied on Palantir’s AI-enabled Maven system during an accelerated targeting process. The Pentagon investigation remains unpublished. (PC: Reuters)
