US Probe Finds American Missile Caused Deadly Iran School Strike

The U.S. administration can’t hide behind “targeting mistakes” forever!

A Pentagon probe has already confirmed that an American Tomahawk missile was responsible for the strike that killed well over 160 children in an Iranian school, caused by outdated targeting data and misidentification of the site.

Playing at war has real consequences - children died. Yet Washington’s first instinct was to deflect blame rather than accept responsibility.

Given the pattern of redactions, denials, and “ongoing investigations,” an official, unambiguous acknowledgment seems unlikely anytime soon.

The tragedy speaks for itself, even if the US administration won’t.

But Trump said that the US did not do it, therefore .... despite foreign and early US evidence to the contrary.

Alas, Trump is TACO is TALA (Trump Always Lies, Always), and has zero credibility, except for his "blind" followers.

I don't know how they knew it was a tomahawk but said the Iranians did it. Surely that would mean America sold tomahawks to Iran?

War crimes have been committed by US with the killings of civilians and children just like the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza by Israel.

trump lies, pretty much all the time, his brainless acolytes either believe his lies or lack critical or independent thinking ability, the whole lot of them are pathetic, as are the millions of americans who blindly follow these dangerous clowns.

As always, lies, lies, lies spewing out of Trump's mouth. When a reporter finally called him on it, his answer was somthing like, 'well, I didn't know anything.' So, if you don't know anything, don't automatically make up a lie. Just say you don't know. Is that so hard?

Listening to an expert it appears the targeting was done based on old data. The hospital and the school that were hit were once part of IRGC. The expert said 5 missiles were launched. Two warehouses (apparently empty), the school and the hospital. The fifth missile was designed to circle around and wait for instructions to hit based on the analysis of the 4 targets they hit. It was subsequently ordered to hit the school because it detected a lot of human movements indicating that one of the strikes hadn’t completely achieved its objective. They realize now the human movements were children ushered by adults to seek shelter. The expert described it as a war crime.

Shame on Iran for using a school as a human shield for their naval bases

Why not, they have been doing so for at least 75 years!

It was based on old info, funny Iran just happened to put a school next to what they knew would be a military target.
Hardly comes close to a war crime but you know that.

What are the odds all those kids were already dead. Considering the fact that Iran has killed their own kids before, its not that far of a stretch.

Heres your AI explanation of a War crime:
These are results for what is a war crime ?

AI Overview

A war crime is a serious violation of international humanitarian law—specifically the Geneva Conventions—committed during an international or internal armed conflict

. These acts, which entail individual criminal responsibility, include murdering or torturing civilians or prisoners of war, destroying civilian property without military necessity, taking hostages, and using prohibited weapons.

Key Aspects of War Crimes:

• Targeting Civilians: Intentional attacks against non-combatants, hospitals, or historical monuments.

• Mistreatment of Detainees: Murder, torture, or inhuman treatment of prisoners of war.

• Prohibited Actions: Pillaging, sexual violence, forced deportation, and using human shields.

• Legal Basis: Defined by the 1949 Geneva Conventions, their Additional Protocols, and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

• Accountability: Perpetrators can be prosecuted by international tribunals or national courts, and these crimes have no statute of limitations.

Nil.

Your post is one of the worst I have ever seen here.

The military expert said it was a war crime. He’d know more than you, me or AI. If you bother to read he said the visual feedback from the site showed people running around hence ordering the second strike. I think Iran is fighting within international laws as shown by much fewer human casualties they’ve caused vs USA/Israel attacks that have killed thousands of civilians. Hardly surprising and expected based on their recent misadventures all of which have failed.

The compound was a medical faciity operated by the IRGC. The school was adjacent The compound was hit, by missiles, and when further "human movement" was detected a decision was taken to strike the school.

That the intelligence was old is not an excuse. It is rather confirmation that the US enthusiasm for killing disregards the basic tenets of the Laws of Armed Conflict. "The intelligence was old" is not an excuse, if the intelligence was unsure then you should not have struck the compound, especially as it was in an area inhabited by civilians. T o strike a second time because you detected human movements is savage.

Imagine if the Walter Reid Military Hospital in Maryland was rocketed, and then an adjacent school was hit because "human movement was detected". Would you excuse it? Of course not, you would be shouting blue murder!

I agree with @stevenl, your post is one of the worst I have seen, a callous attempt to brush away a savage and merciless crime. The US has the most advanced and technologically expert military force on the planet. Unfortunatly their targetting procedures for all that technology are sadly lacking, careless and frankly incompetent. You should be ashamed, thoroughly ashamed, of yourself for even suggesting it could be justified.

And you know the real tragedy? No need for the whole bloody business at all, it is just to distract from the filthy scandal your "leader" has found his past perverted tastes have embroiled him in! Let's not beat about the bush, those children, and heaven knows how many others, have died because Trump has been caught <deleted> little girls, and this is to distract from that.

Vile, inhuman, and the US military has allowed itself to be brought in on it! Shame.

The US just likes to kill people.

Well if that's the case, shame on the US for building a DoDEA high school and kindergarden alongside headquarters of the 5th Fleet in Bahrain. Shame of the US for building an elementary school directly with RAF Lakenheath, home of the 48th Fighter Wing, and F15s/F22s/F35s currently operating over Iran, bombing stuff. Almost every DoDEA base worldwide is located on a military base, so I suppose you would think that the US Government is using its own children as human shields. I suspect you have no experience of the military, except when you were playing with your Action Man/GI Joe as a nipper. Members of the military, American, British, Iranian, whatever, aren't Spartanesque gays, but have wives, girlfriends, kids.

Plenty of gays in the military but I’m not sure what that has to do with Iran using schools to shield military stashes

So you also admit that the US uses schools to "shield military stashes" then.

That would still be A LOT less than Trump.

Using an excuse that the intelligence was old is simply an admission that the US military is not quite as intelligent as they represent it to be. I actually find it quite extraordinary that this information was allowed to surface, considering the extreme levels of censorship that the Trump Administration has engaged in.

Just another war crime by the Don. Telling children doesn't really mean that much to him, as he's a pathological super freak. And Hegseth might even enjoy it. He is that depraved.

America has indeed fallen upon very hard times, it's credibility, it's influence, and any level of moral authority it once had, has been thrown under the bus by a deep cancer that has overtaken American society.

The intelligence being old is a FACT, you may not like it but its true. You understand that "Old" and "Unsure " are not the same, don't you ?
In a perfect world we'd have current info but we had what we had. You're feelings don't matter.

Using Walter Reid as an example is pretty stupid and quite dishonest, as its always been a medical facility. Not true of the building they claim is now a school.

As for Trump being a pedo, wheres your source for that, he's never been tried or convicted of anything like that.
You're emotions are showing

oops, oh well, sh!t happens

... piss poor intel (?), although

... not the best spot to to locate a school, on base or next to IRGC anything

Oh dear, not too bright are you.

You said Iran used the school as a shield because it is next to a military base.

The US has over 160 schools situation within, or adjoining, military bases in America. And dozens more overseas. Ergo America is also using them as shields - that is using your very same logic.

Does the USA store weapons in those schools?

1) The intelligence was old, and manifestly unreliable. That is why it should not have been used. Furthermore the freely available satellite imagery clearly shows the school adjacent to, but separated by a wall from, the compound. They fired several missiles into the compound, and when they detected human activity in the adjacent school they fired a missile into that as well. If they had access to those images, and good enough sensors to detect people moving, why were they relying on such old intelligence for the targeting? "You had what you had" - it was inadequate to justify the decision!

2) There is nothing dishonest about using "Walter Reid" as a comparison. It is a medical facility, surrounded by civilian dwellings.

3) Yes I am angry, perhaps emotions are running high. I've been a soldier holding a high enough rank to understand and have been involved in making those sort of judgements; I've also been a teacher. Over 100 schoolchildren were killed in a callous, savage and reckless attack. Both the US response and your attempted justification of the attack are equally callous.

4) Writing FACT in capitals (shouting in the idiom) does not establish something as true.

5) Finally, Trump has not been investigated or officially accused of paedophilia primarily because his administration is enthusiastically and comprehensively covering up and suppressing the evidence. Perhaps if as much zeal, determination and effort had been expended on the targeting of the missile strikes as has been on covering up his disgusting antics, then 100+ children would not have been so needlessly slaughtered.
