Elementary school in Tehran hit, Iran's foreign ministry says
"An analysis by Al Jazeera's digital investigations unit of satellite imagery compiled over more than a decade, as well as recent video clips, published news reports and statements from official Iranian sources, has revealed that the school had been clearly separate from an adjacent military site for at least 10 years. The investigation also showed that the strike pattern raises fundamental questions about the accuracy of intelligence information on which the bombing was based."
"The Reuters news agency reported, quoting two US officials, that US military investigators believed it was likely that US forces were responsible for the apparent strike, but had not yet reached a final conclusion. UN rights chief Volker Turk on Friday urged Washington to move very quickly with its probe, saying his body had asked the US for prompt investigation."
Iran's Foreign Ministry reported that Shahid Hamedani School in Tehran's Niloufar Square was struck in US-Israeli attacks. This marks the fourth school targeted since the war erupted. The first school hit, Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' school in Minab, resulted in 160 children and five staff killed. Israeli-linked sources claimed the site was a military base, but Al Jazeera's investigation of satellite imagery over a decade revealed the school was clearly separate from an adjacent military facility for at least 10 years. The strike pattern raises questions about intelligence accuracy and whether the school was deliberately targeted. The US military acknowledged investigating the incident, with officials suggesting US forces were likely responsible, though no final conclusion has been reached. UN rights officials urged rapid investigation.
