For Once, The New York Times Speaks the Truth: The U.S. Should Be Held Responsible for the Attack on an Iranian School That Killed 175 Children
The New York Times reported that this tragedy was due to a targeting error: the military used outdated intelligence from the Defense Intelligence Agency, and according to these old data, the school was still listed as part of an Iranian Revolutionary Guard naval base nearby.
The New York Times cited sources, saying, "Investigators have not yet fully determined how the outdated information was submitted to the Central Command, and whether the Defense Intelligence Agency had more accurate data. This error likely reflects common human errors during wartime, which can sometimes be highly destructive, rather than a technological failure."
The report stated that White House spokesperson Caroline Leavitt emphasized that the investigation is still ongoing. The Pentagon is trying to find out who failed to verify this outdated data.
