"The Feb. 28 strike on the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school building was the result of a targeting mistake by the U.S. military, which was conducting strikes on an adjacent Iranian base of which the school building was formerly a part, the preliminary investigation found. Officers at U.S. Central Command created the target coordinates for the strike using outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency."
A February 28 strike on the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school building killed school children due to a targeting mistake by the U.S. military. The strike was intended for an adjacent Iranian military base, of which the school building was formerly a part. Officers at U.S. Central Command created the target coordinates using outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency. A preliminary investigation confirmed this was a targeting error rather than an intentional attack on the school.
