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.

Art teacher stabbed in French classroom; condition described as worrying after 14-year-old attack

A 60-year-old art teacher at La Guicharde secondary school in Sanary-sur-Mer, southern France, was stabbed multiple times by a 14-year-old pupil during class in front of about 20 students. She underwent surgery and is in a stable yet very worrying condition, according to the Education Minister. The student was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder; investigators say there were tensions with the teacher and home issues, with no religious or political motive identified. The school was evacuated, counselling was offered, and this incident feeds ongoing concerns about violence against educators in France and calls for stronger protections.
