US responsible for deadly missile strike on Iran school, preliminary inquiry says

I could have told them that. Iran DOES NOT have access to Tomahawk missiles. The only countries besides the US who have access to them are the UK, Japan, Australia, and the Netherlands. Access to Tomahawks require US State Department clearance. Trump was LYING then and he is LYING now!

A preliminary US military investigation has reportedly determined that Washington was responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school in February that killed scores of children.

According to the New York Times, quoting unnamed US officials and others familiar with the initial findings, the investigation has concluded that the strike on 28 February on the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school building was the result of a targeting mistake by the US military planners.

Iranian officials had put put death toll from the attack as at least 175 people, the majority of them children, in one of the worst and most shocking American strikes producing civilian fatalities in recent memory.

The findings appear to confirm assertions by Tehran, which had produced video footage of the US missile strike and fragments of US-made missile parts, despite Donald Trump’s efforts to suggest Iran had hit the building.
