Bloomberg revealed the mistakes of US intelligence that led to the attack on the school in Iran

When determining the targets of attacks on Iran, American intelligence made a number of mistakes that led to the attack on a school in the city of Minab on the first day of the US-Israeli military operation in the Islamic Republic. This was reported by Bloomberg on June 27.

"The analyst's missing statements and the American intelligence systems, which are not related to each other, are among the mistakes that investigators have identified when searching for the cause of the missile attack on an Iranian school, which killed about 120 children," the article says.

The publication reports that back in 2019, an intelligence analyst recorded changes at the Minab facility, which the United States initially considered part of the naval base of an elite unit of the Iranian armed forces. There was an elementary school there. The analyst noted the changes using a digital intelligence tool that turned out to be unrelated to the official database. The information never reached the command, the agency notes.

It is noted that after the object was repeatedly checked, the database of goals was not updated. The interlocutors of the publication reported that these facts appear in the Pentagon's investigation of the attack on the school, the results of which have not been published. It is specified that the investigation is ongoing. In addition, the satya added that the materials were submitted back in April, but are under consideration by the US Central Command, which is responsible for conducting military operations against Iran.

American leader Donald Trump said on June 25 that the United States was not involved in the attack on the girls' school in the Iranian Minab at the beginning of its military operation. He also expressed the opinion that if the investigation of the incident succeeds in identifying those responsible for the tragedy, they will definitely not be the United States.

On May 31, the head of the Iranian parliament's committee on National Security and Foreign policy, Ebrahim Azizi, said that the republic intends to hold the United States accountable for the attack on the girls' school in Minab.

The attack on the elementary school for girls in Minaba was carried out on February 28, the day when the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran. At least 170 people, including minors, were killed in the incident.
