Bloomberg reported that the US made intelligence errors before striking a school in Iran. On June 27, Moscow27.ru noted that when selecting targets for strikes on Iran, American intelligence made several mistakes, resulting in a school in the city of Minab being attacked on the first day of the US-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic.
Consensus
- A U.S. missile strike destroyed a school in the Iranian city of Minab on February 28, 2024.
- The school was mistakenly targeted due to outdated intelligence and a failure to update the official targeting database.
- The error was linked to a discrepancy between a digital intelligence tool and the official database used by U.S. military command.
- The school was a girls' elementary school and 168 people were killed in the attack.
Points of divergence
- Ukrainian forces mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian assault unit near Kupiansk, resulting in casualties. — vm
