How Palantir and Anthropic AI helped the US hit 1,000 Iran targets in 24 hours

The United States military used an advanced artificial intelligence system to help strike roughly 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of its campaign against Iran, relying on technology developed by Palantir and Anthropic, according to a report by The Washington Post.

The system, known as the Maven Smart System, is built by data-mining company Palantir and processes large volumes of classified intelligence data from satellites, surveillance platforms and other sources, the report said, citing three people familiar with the system.

According to the report, the platform generated real-time targeting insights and prioritised strike locations during the campaign in Iran.

The deployment of the technology has come alongside a policy dispute between the US government and Anthropic.

Hours before the bombing campaign against Iran began, US President Donald Trump announced a ban on the use of Anthropic’s AI tools across government agencies, according to The Washington Post.

The administration has given agencies six months to phase out the company’s technology, following disagreements over how the systems could be used, particularly in mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, the report said.

Palantir AI + Claude was used to detect, prioritize, and strike over 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of Operation against IRAN.

The success was so ridiculous, so game-changing, that the Pentagon didn’t even wait.

What used to be just a pilot project, just something they were testing out… suddenly became official, permanent, and everywhere.

Palantir is now the core AI brain of the entire U.S. military. It’s getting rolled out across ALL branches.
