US EditionPentagon Elevates Investigation Into Iran School Strike
A 15-6 administrative probe was ordered after preliminary findings linked US forces to a missile strike on an Iranian girls' school, possibly due to outdated targeting data.
- On Friday, the U.S. military elevated its investigation into the February 28 strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab, Iran, after reports indicated U.S. forces were likely responsible.
- Preliminary findings suggest U.S. forces relied on outdated targeting data that failed to distinguish the school from an adjoining Iranian military base, resulting in 168 children killed.
- Admiral Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command, ordered the 15-6 administrative probe last week after the initial review. Hegseth stated, "The command investigation will take as long as necessary."
- After initially suggesting Iran attacked the school, President Donald Trump committed on Monday to accepting the investigation results, stating, "Whatever the report shows, I'm willing to live with that report."
- Iran's supreme leader blamed the country's enemies for the strike without explicitly naming the U.S., while satellite imagery confirms the building operated as a school since at least 2018 with a public online presence.
