⚠️🇮🇷 Dozen damning new details about US double tap strike on Minab girls school
An exhaustive investigation into the US attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School unearthed crucial new info on the scale of the so-called “intelligence failure,” casting fresh doubt on the Pentagon’s motive.
The Sky News report based on eyewitness and expert testimony, computer modeling, previously unseen attack footage, OSINT photo evidence and satellite imagery conclusively confirmed that:
♦️ The three missiles that hit the school at 2:30 pm on February 28, three hours after the initial 11:22 strike, were Tomahawks
♦️ Targeting was designed to be as devasting as possible, precisely striking the very center of the school
♦️ The USS Spruance destroyer, part of the Lincoln strike group, fired the Tomahawks from the Arabian Sea, 716km from Minab
♦️ Iranian media had been reporting on the attack nearly an hour before the 2:30 pm US follow-up attack
♦️ The US had ample evidence that the site was a school, and no longer part of a neighboring military compound, since at least 2015
♦️ The Pentagon had access to even commercial-grade satellite data so detailed it could determine there were children in the school’s courtyard, based on the length of their shadows
♦️ Geolocatable OSINT materials were available on the school’s website showing students on school grounds
♦️ The US had been monitoring the Minab facility using satellites since at least 1987
♦️ The DIA was “neglecting” updates to its targeting databases because analysts never thought they would actually be used
♦️ The agency does nowhere enough analysis of facilities outlined by CENCOM
♦️ Live, human analyst capabilities have been dropping since the end of the Cold War
♦️ The Pentagon “Civilian Protection Center of Excellence” meant to protect infrastructure like schools and hospitals has been gutted, and now “exists [only] on paper…effectively doing nothing.”
The US maintains an official investigation into the circumstances of the Minab attack is ongoing. Trump, however, has sought to shift the blame on Iran, and suggested it's a "strange" thing to look into "because you're talking about a long time ago."
