US commanders bypassed warnings about outdated intelligence ahead of strike that hit school in Iran: CNN
The strike killed at least 168 children and 14 teachers, and the Pentagon has not released its findings, drawing criticism from lawmakers.
- US military commanders ignored warnings that strike target intelligence in Iran was outdated shortly before attacking a school in Minab, resulting in the deaths of over 150 children and teachers.
- Intelligence showed the school was separated from a nearby Iranian military base since 2016, but reliance on outdated data led to it being mistakenly targeted during attacks on the adjacent base.

- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reduced civilian harm mitigation efforts prior to the war, which limited the military's ability to thoroughly review targets and prevent mistakes like the school strike.
