A U.S. missile strike that killed over 160 people at an Iranian elementary school last month resulted from a targeting error linked to outdated intelligence, according to a preliminary Pentagon investigation reported by The New York Times this week. 🚨
What Went Wrong?
Officials say U.S. Central Command used obsolete data from the Defense Intelligence Agency to generate strike coordinates during operations targeting a nearby Iranian military base on February 28. The missile instead hit Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab, killing mostly children. 💔
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the attack as "inhumane," while the Pentagon faces mounting questions about why outdated intel wasn’t cross-verified. 🔍
Key details remain unresolved as the probe continues, leaving families demanding answers—and the world watching closely. 🌐
