On Feb. 28, a US missile struck a primary school in southeastern Iran, killing more than 100 people, most of them children, according to multiple reports. The attack is described as the deadliest reported strike in the wider US-Israeli campaign against Iran. More than four months after the incident, outlets say there is still no agreed, complete public accounting of what happened, including questions about how the strike was assessed and reported at the time.
The Associated Press, as cited by one source, reconstructs events using information from US officials and other material, reporting that the US military had evidence relatively quickly indicating the school site had been hit. However, coverage also states that the Trump administration has not directly accepted blame publicly. Different accounts emphasize the lack of a final determination that satisfies all parties, while confirming the scale of casualties and the location and date of the strike.
