Palantir’s algorithm declared Iran a nuclear threat on June 12, 2025. Forty-eight hours later, the bombing began. The company that supplied the “evidence” for war had already sold targeting software to the Israeli military, and its executives had publicly called regime change an “investment opportunity.” When the strikes started, Palantir’s stock surgedeleven percentin a week. Military analysts now dub the campaign “Operation Epic Fury,” describing it as thefirst AI-directed warin history. The same company selling data and battlefield technology to the IDF supplied the “evidence” that justified the US and Israel strikes on Iran.

This is not intelligence. It is the automation of mass violence for shareholder value, rendered in the sterile vocabulary of “platforms” and “solutions.”

Palentir’s MOSAIC AI-powered nuclear verification system claims it consolidates vast datasets, including satellite imagery, trade logs, communications metadata, and social media, and turn it into predictive assessments about nuclear proliferation risks, generating pattern-based inferences about potential weapons programs.

MOSAICarrivedat the International Atomic Energy Agency in 2015, packaged as technical assistance for the six-party Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The IAEA funded MOSAIC through a combination of regular budget allocations and extra-budgetary contributions, with the United States serving asthe agency’s single largest contributor. The €41 million system was finalised, withAmerican taxpayers ultimately underwritingthe machine that would later rationalise a war.

The platformdescended from earlier Palantir systems alreadysoldto the Israel Defence Forcesfor operations in Gaza and Lebanon, a lineage never disclosed as disqualifying when the IAEA adopted it for “neutral” verification. The system did not merely archive information; it generated relationships, mapping connections between individuals, facilities, imagery, and materials—but more importantly, this capability produced targeting lists.

The timeline ofJune 2025exposes the compression of democratic deliberation by algorithmic urgency. According to aByline Times investigation, betweenJune 6 and June 12, MOSAIC flagged an apparent surge in enriched uranium activity, assessing that Iran was potentiallyweeks away from producing multiple nuclear weapons. The IAEA Board of Governors passed a non-compliance resolution on June 12. Israel struck Iranian facilities on June 13. The United States followed immediately. Forty-eight hours elapsed between the algorithm’s alert and bombing—a velocity that eliminated opportunities for independent verification or diplomatic engagement.
