Iranian school was on U.S. target list, may have been mistaken as military site - The Washington Post

Reports that an Iranian elementary school struck in the campaign had been on a U.S. target list and may have been misidentified raise serious questions about targeting processes. The issue is compounded by accounts that the defense secretary eliminated civilian-harm mitigation offices over military objections, suggesting reduced institutional checks at a moment when AI and rapid targeting decisions are under scrutiny. The Pentagon investigation into the strike and congressional inquiries aim to clarify how the site was assessed and whether procedural or technological failures played a role.
