Bombing of girls’ school in Iran that killed more than 150 was probably US air strike, military investigators believe

U.S. military investigators reportedly believe American forces were likely responsible for a strike on an Iranian school in Minab, in what analysts and human rights officials believe is the deadliest incident for civilian casualties since Donald Trump’s administration and Israeli forces began attacking the country.
