A Pentagon probe has found that outdated U.S. targeting data caused an American Tomahawk missile to destroy an Iranian elementary school in the opening hours of President Donald Trump’s war against Iran. The findings stand in stark contrast to Trump’s efforts to blame Tehran, “or somebody else,” for the deadly attack.
Citing U.S. officials familiar with the preliminary findings, the New York Times reported Wednesday that the February 28 hit on the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school stemmed from the use of old Defense Intelligence Agency data showing the school building to be part of an adjacent Iranian military base.
