Flawed intelligence and AI contributed to strike that killed 123 children
A Pentagon investigation says flawed intelligence, outdated imagery and overreliance on AI contributed to a US missile strike that killed 123 children at an Iranian elementary school. Two Tomahawk missiles hit the Shajarah Tayyebeh school and its grounds in Minab on Feb. 28, 2026. The probe describes a cascade of preventable failures, and Pentagon personnel knew within hours that the US was responsible.
