Bloomberg: US intelligence errors led to a strike on a girls' school in Iran, where about 168 students were killed

US intelligence made a series of errors in choosing targets for strikes on Iran, which led to an attack on a girls' school in the city of Minab on the first day of the US and Israel's war against Iran, Bloomberg reported, citing sources.

According to the agency, as early as 2019, one of the analysts established that the object in Minab, which was considered part of the naval base of an elite unit of the Iranian armed forces, was in fact an elementary school. However, this information was not entered into the official database of targets and did not reach the command.

As a result of the strike, about 175 people were killed, including about 168 schoolgirls. As Bloomberg notes, this incident was one of the most serious cases of civilian deaths in many decades of American military operations.

Former intelligence officers told the agency that the databases used by the US military are not synchronized with each other, and the lack of a thorough check of targets before the start of the campaign seems "unthinkable".
