US military commanders reportedly bypassed warnings that their database of strike targets in Iran was outdated before launching an attack on a primary school in Minab, resulting in the deaths of over 150 schoolchildren and teachers. Despite receiving intelligence that the target list needed re-vetting due to old data, senior officials proceeded with the strike, allegedly for expediency at the war’s outset. The school was targeted based on outdated information, as recent images showed it had been separated from a former adjacent military facility. The Department of Defense’s delayed investigation into the bombing has drawn criticism, with officials accused of being “quick to bomb, slow to investigate.”

A preliminary US military investigation has reportedly concluded that Washington was responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school. The February 28th attack, which killed scores of children, is attributed to a targeting mistake by US military planners using obsolete data. Iranian officials had reported a death toll of at least 175, predominantly children, in one of the most significant civilian fatalities from an American strike in recent memory. These findings appear to corroborate Tehran’s assertions, countering President Trump’s claims that Iran was responsible for the bombing.

Preliminary U.S. military investigations suggest American forces may have been responsible for a strike on the Shajareye Tayabeh girls’ school in Minab, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 150 students and staff. This assessment comes as part of a broader series of U.S. and Israeli attacks across Iran, following President Donald Trump’s order for “major combat operations.” While the investigation is ongoing and other parties could potentially be identified as responsible, separate analyses indicate a precision strike by U.S. forces targeting naval assets near an adjacent IRGC base is the most likely cause. If confirmed, this incident would represent a significant civilian casualty event in recent U.S. conflicts.
