"American forces struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab, Iran, killing between 175 and 180 people, most of them girls between the ages of seven and 12."
"The targeting for Operation Epic Fury ran on a system called Maven, which integrates satellite imagery, signals intelligence, and sensor data to identify targets."
