[Pentagon Investigators: A Series of US Mistakes Led to Attack on Iranian Elementary School] According to US sources on the 19th, Pentagon investigators found that intelligence deficiencies, outdated imagery, and over-reliance on artificial intelligence were the causes of the February 28th airstrike on an area containing an elementary school in Minab, Iran, resulting in the deaths of numerous children. The report, citing US officials, stated that although the attacked site was identified as a military facility years ago, commercial satellite imagery had long shown that the site had been repurposed; brightly colored walls and a football field could still be seen in images from 2018. US intelligence analysts had already discovered these changes in 2019 and recorded the relevant information in a system not connected to major military intelligence databases. Furthermore, within the US Central Command, which directed the operation, some personnel over-relyed on Palantir's "Mayven Intelligent System" battlefield intelligence platform. According to US officials, some Central Command personnel had expected the "Mayven Intelligent System" to be able to flag outdated or inconsistent information in the basic intelligence gathered against potential targets.
