US EditionFocus Shifts to Outdated Intel in Strike on Iran School: Reports
A Pentagon investigation attributes the Feb. 28 strike on an Iranian elementary school to outdated targeting data amid fast-paced U.S.-Israel operations, killing at least 175 people.

- The Pentagon admitted responsibility this week after a Tomahawk missile hit the girls’ school, and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand pressed Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, Commander of United States European Command, in hearings.
- Developments around AI tools and protection units suggest shifting safeguards as the administration calls Anthropic's objections a 'supply chain risk' and has cut the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence by about 90%.
