Satellite imagery analysis reveals that the school had been completely separated from the adjacent IRGC naval base by October 2015, raising questions about US targeting intelligence.

Sky News' @Stone_SkyNews caught up with Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of U.S. Central Command, to question over him why there is so little information about the bombing of a school in Iran, alleged to have been carried out by the U.S.

The head of U.S. Central Command has told a House committee that an Iranian school hit by an alleged U.S. strike on day one of the war is "located on an active IRGC cruise missile base."
The strike killed more than 150 people in Minab. ＠DominicWaghorn reports from the city ⬇️

More than 150 people, including 120 children, were killed in Iran when an airstrike hit a school in Minab.
Although a preliminary US military investigation determined Washington was responsible, the Trump administration is yet to formally accept responsibility.
Sky's ＠DominicWaghorn is the first international journalist to visit Minab.
Warning: contains distressing content.
Community note
Sky News was not the first international news team to report from the Minab school site; The Grayzone's Wyatt Reed visited and filmed on location weeks earlier. x.com/TheGrayzoneNew… x.com/wyattreed13/st…

🚨🚨EXCLUSIVE: We’ve gained rare access inside Iran to the cemetery where women and children were buried after a US strike hit a school in Minab.
Devastating stories from grieving families.
Incredible work by colleagues @skyzein @DominicWaghorn

Why did an airstrike kill at least 120 primary schoolchildren on day 1 of this war? We are the first journalists from outside Iran to reach Minab since the atrocity and have found a town devastated by grief and demanding justice.
