NYT: US military mistakenly bombed Iranian elementary school

A U.S. Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school was the result of a U.S. military targeting error, The New York Times (NYT) reported. Citing sources familiar with the matter, the NYT said a "preliminary investigation" has found the U.S. military responsible for the attack on Feb. 28. The strike was reportedly caused by a "targeting error," as U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) acted on outdated information from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The building, formerly part of a naval base, was being used as an elementary school at the time of the attack. At least 175 people, mostly children, were killed in the strike. President Donald Trump, who had initially described the incident as a false flag operation by Iran, has since said he would accept the investigation's findings.
