US responsible for strike on Iran women’ college that killed 175, Pentagon report finds after Trump accused Tehran

A preliminary military investigation has determined that the United States was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian elementary school that killed 175 people, most of them children.

Donald Trump had previously blamed the Iranian regime for bombing a school filled with young girls on February 28 during the first day of ‘Operation Epic Fury.’

The ongoing investigation determined that US forces made the mistake while launching strikes on a nearby Iranian military base, which the school building was once part of.

Officers at US Central Command decided to strike the school using outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency, one of the premier US intelligence agencies.
