AI on the battlefield: Is Palantir complicit in war crimes against Iran?
This analysis examines legal accountability of AI companies like Palantir in US-Israeli operations against Iran. AI platforms integrate surveillance data to support targeting, with algorithms influencing decisions. The article raises questions under international humanitarian law (distinction, proportionality) and cites Nuremberg precedents for corporate leader liability. It warns of a "responsibility gap" as AI diffuses accountability, asking: "Who designed the algorithm that guided the human hand toward the trigger?"

How Iran's unyielding stance exposed President Trump's TACO pattern
This analysis argues that Iran's steadfast resistance has exposed President Trump's "TACO" (Trump Always Chickens Out) pattern—a term coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong in May 2025. The article cites numerous instances: Trump's 48-hour ultimatum on March 21 to obliterate Iran's power plants unless the Strait of Hormuz reopened (extended), April 7 threats that "a whole civilization will die tonight" (gave way to a 14-day Pakistan-brokered ceasefire), May 5 "Project Freedom" (paused after two days), and June 14 threats to seize Kharg Island (retreated). It concludes that Iranian strategic deterrence—through firm rejection of ultimatums and military readiness—has exposed the limits of US power projection, turning "extreme US red lines into tactical retreats."
