But it also directly contributed to the accidental strike on the school, the sources added.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The strike killed at least 168 children and 14 teachers, according to Iranian state media. Those numbers would make the strike one of the worst civilian casualty incidents in recent US military history. The US military launched an investigation in the days after the strike.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            US military officials \u201cknew within days (of the strike on the school) how the mistake happened,\u201d one of the sources said. \u201cIt was obviously old info.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Months later, the Pentagon has not released its investigation into the incident.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            A White House official told CNN that \u201cthis investigation is ongoing.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cAs we have said, the United States does not target civilians,\u201d the official added.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Details about why the old information was ultimately used, which have not been previously reported, shed new light on how the prewar push for targets contributed to the accidental strike on a school.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Pentagon directed questions about the targeting process to US Central Command. CENTCOM declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            While US strikes against targets in Iran have largely abated as American and Iranian officials discuss a potential deal, President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to return to a large-scale bombing campaign.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The February 28 strike on the Shajareh Tayyiba school in Minab occurred while the US military was attacking a neighboring Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facility, CNN has reported an initial military investigation found.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Satellite imagery from 2013 showed that the school and the IRGC base were once part of the same compound. But images from 2016 show that a fence had been erected to separate the school from the rest of the base, and that a separate entrance to the school had been built. In December 2025, imagery showed dozens of people apparently playing in the school\u2019s courtyard.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            The strike occurred on the first day of US operations against Iran, as US military officials and intelligence analysts scrambled to update targeting information for thousands of sites after Trump decided to launch combat operations. Analysts did not refresh all of the relevant records in the Pentagon\u2019s databases before strikes began, the sources said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            As a result, the intelligence for many targets added to the strike list was over 10 years old, including the information about the IRGC facility next to the elementary school.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Given the expedited timeline, military officials and intelligence analysts rushed to first update records for what were considered \u201cupper-tier\u201d targets \u2014 the ones most likely to be hit first, two sources told CNN.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cUpper-tier\u201d targets largely consisted of mobile targets and sites that were believed to pose the highest threat to US forces, the sources explained, noting military officials were able to largely update those records before the first bombs were dropped.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt was how (military officials) were re-validating targets rapidly by prioritizing what we thought was the most dangerous to US forces and the mission \u2014 like missile sites and aircraft,\u201d the first source said.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=5202\">Reflecting Pool being drained \u2013 again \u2013 as Trump administration tries once more to fix landmark<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Fixed sites \u2014 like the target that ended up being a school \u2014 were generally considered to be lower tier because they don\u2019t move, the second source explained, noting analysts were unable to update many of those records before the war\u2019s start.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The targeting databases \u2014 known as the Modernized Integrated Database, or MIDB, and the Machine-Assisted Analytic Rapid-Repository System, or MARS \u2014 clearly indicated that the information related to Iranian targets needed to be updated before use, two of the sources said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            MIDB is the Pentagon\u2019s older targeting system, built in the 1980s. It largely relies on manual input from analysts.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            MARS is the department\u2019s newer, artificial intelligence-powered digital platform that was put into operational use earlier this year and is intended to replace MIDB.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Both systems are being used, but the effort to shift entirely to MARS is years behind schedule, and authoritative targeting data still relies on MIDB, according to a source familiar with recently revised Pentagon guidance.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            An analyst had previously noted changes at the site in a separate digital intelligence tool, but that tool was not linked to the official intelligence database used to develop strike targets, the first source told CNN. And that information was never conveyed to military commanders.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The analyst\u2019s warning and how existing gaps within the Pentagon\u2019s intelligence database may have contributed to the accidental strike on a school are among the issues that have been examined as part of the ongoing investigation, the same source added.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"TEHRAN, IRAN - MAY 13: Two women and a child sit in ruins during their visit to Al-Shajara Al-Tayyiba School on May 13, 2026 in Tehran, Iran.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said the strike will be \u201cthoroughly\u201d investigated, adding the US has \u201cattempted in every way possible to avoid civilian casualties.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Multiple sources told CNN that senior Pentagon leaders were pressing military officials to rapidly provide targets in the immediate lead-up to the war and that demand persisted throughout the weekslong conflict \u2014 putting a strain on CENTCOM and intelligence analysts tasked with identifying viable sites to strike.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe Pentagon is pressing everyone to move faster,\u201d one of the sources told CNN about the decision to override warnings about the old intelligence. \u201cA lot of former hedge-fund people and made-for-TV personalities in the mix. But leadership at CENTCOM did not push back either.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Another factor that increased the risk of a mistake, according to two sources familiar with the decision-making process, was that Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response teams at CENTCOM and other combatant commands were already short-staffed due to Hegseth\u2019s decision to cut the program earlier in his tenure.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Office of the Secretary of Defense did not respond to a request for comment about Hegseth\u2019s changes to civilian casualty mitigation.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Hegesth has repeatedly described his desire to allow commanders in the field to move faster by removing constraints, something he\u2019s summarized as \u201cmaximum lethality, not tepid legality.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Before the Iran war, Hegseth made deep cuts to the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response programs and slashed CHMR staff at military commands by more than 90%. That included removing civilian harm specialists from target development strike teams and reducing the team of 10 at Central Command to only one full-time staffer, sources told CNN.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI know the CHMR team at CENTCOM was still trying to do the best possible work, they were just not staffed and resourced like they needed to be because of Hegseth,\u201d one of the sources said.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=5201\">Exclusive: Netanyahu tells CNN he opposes US sale of F-35 jets to Turkey as he downplays divisions with Trump<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior US military commanders bypassed warnings in critical databases that intelligence about potential targets in Iran was severely out of date and approved some strikes \u2014 including one that hit a school, killing nearly 200 children and adults, according to three sources familiar with the decision-making process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5207,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
