US Missile Strike on Iranian School: Deadly Error

0:00On March 12th, a preliminary investigation points to outdated targeting data as the cause of a deadly U.S. Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian girl's school. The attack hit the Shahzurei Tayyibay primary school in Minab on February 28th, killing 175 people, mostly children aged, 7-12. The building used to be part of a nearby Islamic Revolutionary Guard Navy site but became a school about 10 years ago. Officers now say the U.S. was likely behind the strike, with Israel helping pinpoint targets. President Donald Trump quickly blamed Iran, calling their weapons inaccurate. But former intelligence official Beth Sanner called it a major mistake from old target images that weren't refreshed. Senator John Kennedy also apologized, labeling it a horrible error like something Russia would do. Forty-three Democratic Senators sent a letter to the Defense Department demanding full details and accountability, including public hearings.

1:00Rescue efforts followed social media footage of the blast, with protesters worldwide mourning the children. The inquiry is still ongoing, and the White House says the president will follow its final findings as the military works to update data and prevent future tragedies.
