Peter Thiel, the billionaire co-founder of Palantir, says the United States should not have attacked Iran. His statement marks a break from Donald Trump, whom he supported early in his political career.
Ten years ago, Thiel became the first major tech entrepreneur to back Trump. His support helped legitimize Trump's first presidential campaign in Silicon Valley.
Thiel's comments add to a growing debate over US military action against Iran. They also highlight shifting alliances between tech leaders and political figures.
