- U.S. military investigators reportedly believe American forces were likely responsible for a strike on an Iranian school in Minab, which resulted in significant civilian casualties.
- The strike, which Iran's ambassador to the UN in Geneva claims killed 150 students, is considered the deadliest incident for civilians since the U.S. and Israeli forces began attacking the country.
- The Pentagon is investigating the incident, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirming the probe, though neither U.S. nor Israeli officials have publicly claimed responsibility.
- Analysts suggest the strike may have been caused by the Pentagon's AI-driven targeting system, Maven Smart System, or human error due to outdated target maps.
- International bodies like UNESCO and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights have expressed grave concerns, calling for prompt, transparent investigations and accountability for the victims.
