"U.S. military investigators think American forces likely were responsible for a strike that killed dozens of children at a girls elementary school in Iran, a U.S. official said. The investigation hasn't reached a final conclusion, the official said. Shajarah Tayyebeh Girls' School, in the town of Minab near the Strait of Hormuz, was hit Saturday on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli air campaign in what appears to be the deadliest strike of the war."
"If true, this is horrific news and the U.S. military will have to address this publicly. Proximity of military compound obviously a factor, but our weapons also have pinpoint accuracy."
"Reuters was unable to determine more details about the investigation, including what evidence contributed to the tentative assessment, what type of munition was used, who was responsible or why the U.S. might have struck the school."
U.S. military investigators concluded that American forces were likely responsible for an airstrike on Shajarah Tayyebeh Girls' School in Minab, Iran on February 28, which killed over 160 people, predominantly children. The strike occurred on the first day of a U.S.-Israeli air campaign and represents the deadliest strike of the conflict. While the investigation remains incomplete, Fox News host Laura Ingraham criticized the incident, calling it horrific and demanding public accountability from the U.S. military. She acknowledged proximity to a military compound as a factor but noted the precision capabilities of American weapons. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced questioning about the strike from international media.
