Preliminary Probe Says US Missile Strike on Iranian School Was a Targeting Error. A preliminary U.S. military investigation has reportedly found that a deadly missile strike on an Iranian elementary school earlier this year was caused by a targeting mistake. The February 28 strike hit the Shajarah Tayyebeh school in the southern city of Minab, killing at least 175 people—most of them children—according to Iranian officials. Early findings suggest that U.S. Central Command officers used outdated intelligence data when creating the target coordinates for the attack. Evidence from video footage and missile fragments indicates that a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile struck the area. Satellite images show the school had long been separated from a nearby Iranian Revolutionary Guard base and clearly marked as an educational facility. Despite the emerging findings, the U.S. government says the investigation is still ongoing and has not officially accepted responsibility. Experts say the tragedy may have happened because the school was located close to a military complex that was likely the intended target.
