Overview
- Member of the U.N. Fact-Finding Mission on Iran said an independent investigation has begun into the Feb. 28 strike that killed roughly 168–175 people, mostly schoolchildren.
- Amnesty International’s forensic review concluded a U.S.-manufactured Tomahawk likely struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school, calling it a serious breach of international humanitarian law.
- Preliminary U.S. military findings reported by multiple outlets indicate U.S. forces were likely responsible, with investigators examining reports that CENTCOM used outdated Defense Intelligence Agency data for the strike coordinates.
- Witnesses and medics described two near-simultaneous impacts consistent with a “double-tap” pattern, with the second blast hitting people sheltering or trying to rescue survivors.
- Iran announced plans to preserve the destroyed school as a museum and rebuild the campus elsewhere, as rights groups and some U.S. lawmakers press for transparent, independent accountability; separate reporting says President Trump’s early public blame of Iran relied on initial intelligence later revised.
