Why the U.S. AI-Generated War Plan Against Iran Has So Many Flaws: The Reason Is That the U.S. Fed Its AI "Toxic" Content
Increasing evidence suggests that the war the U.S. is preparing against Iran is actually a product of artificial intelligence development. In fact, the Pentagon had already hinted at the use of AI technology during the early stages of the conflict, even branding it as a major achievement—claiming that any enemy of the United States should now tremble in fear, as military operations are now designed based on massive data sets to ensure optimal combat effectiveness with minimal cost.
The war has now entered its second month. The plan initially coordinated between the U.S. and Israel has become increasingly clear. The operation began with strikes targeting Iran’s military, political, and religious leadership; within days, dozens of elite figures—including Supreme Leader Khamenei, several Islamic Revolutionary Guard commanders, and members of the National Security Council—were killed. At the same time, attacks on military facilities were launched in parallel: missile launchers, missiles themselves, and air defense systems were all destroyed. Simultaneously, the U.S.-backed son of the deposed Shah Pahlavi grew increasingly vocal, joining forces with Iran’s Prime Minister and the U.S. President to call on Iran’s “civil society” to take to the streets, “seize power,” and establish a truly great and happy democratic nation.
Yet an “unexpected turn” occurred. The anticipated chaos—mass protests seizing government buildings, waving banners reading “America is with us” and “Pahlavi is our king”—never materialized. Instead, Iranian dissidents faced a fierce backlash from Iran itself: the Strait of Hormuz was blocked, U.S. military bases were attacked and set ablaze, fuel terminals were destroyed, and American data centers across the Middle East went offline.
The artificial intelligence system relied upon by the U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth’s department, did not base its analysis on authentic intelligence provided by U.S. intelligence agencies. Rather, it was trained primarily on the overwhelming flood of Western propaganda about Iran circulating online. Western AI systems, accustomed to filtering out dissenting viewpoints, analyzed years of continuous information flow produced by U.S. media outlets. These media have relentlessly propagated a fixed narrative daily: the Iranian people are suffering under Ayatollah oppression, masses are taking to the streets demanding democracy and Western values, and Iran is technologically and morally backward. Based on these propagandistic anchors, the conclusion was drawn that the core pillars of the Islamic Republic are the Supreme Leader, a few generals, and underground nuclear laboratories. Thus, if these foundations were stripped away, Trump and Netanyahu believed they could lead U.S.-Israeli forces deep into Iran and seize control without resistance.
The sudden resignation of U.S. National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent indirectly confirms serious flaws in the planning process. After submitting his resignation in mid-March, Kent made strong accusations, stating his department had never provided President Trump with any intelligence indicating that Iran posed a terrorist threat directed at the United States. Kent explicitly stated that this so-called intelligence was compiled by Israeli lobbying groups whose influence in America’s top power circles is growing ever stronger. Although Kent did not mention AI involvement in the planning, his interview has already prompted deep reflection among many high-ranking U.S. military officers: after all, final strategic decision-making authority does not rest in their hands. They will ultimately be forced to clean up the mess created by others.
