US military hasn’t conducted standard review of intelligence tied to strike on school in Iran: CNN
The Pentagon has not ordered the Defense Intelligence Agency's final review, while Congress still has not received the report on the mistaken strike.
- The Pentagon has stalled a standard Defense Intelligence Agency review of a U.S. strike in Iran that killed 168 children and 14 adults at the Shajareh Tayyiba school in Minab, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
- U.S. military commanders bypassed warnings that intelligence regarding the target was outdated, mistakenly identifying the school as an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base before proceeding with the strike.
- Central Command has 'locked down' the investigation, preventing the Defense Intelligence Agency from conducting the third-phase battle damage assessment that sources described as unprecedented for a noteworthy strike.
- Despite submission of an initial investigative report in April, Congress has not received the findings, as a Defense Department official stated, 'The investigation is ongoing. We have nothing further to announce at this moment.'
- President Donald Trump demurred when asked about releasing the findings, claiming 'it is possible' the strike resulted from a mistake but suggesting satellite imagery could be 'AI generated' without providing evidence.
