Early U.S. assessment links its forces to deadly Iranian school bombing

CBS News reports a preliminary U.S. intelligence assessment suggests the United States is likely responsible for the Feb. 28 bombing of a girls’ school in Minab, Iran, though officials say it was not intentional and may have resulted from dated intelligence misidentifying the area as part of an Iranian military installation; Israel was not operating in the area, and the White House says the investigation is ongoing with no conclusions yet. About 168 people were killed, including many children, according to Iranian state media and HRW, and the attack occurred on the war’s first day.
