An Analyst’s Missed Remark Surfaced in Deadly Iran School Strike Probe

An Analyst’s Missed Remark Surfaced in Deadly Iran School Strike Probe An intelligence analyst’s missed remarks are among the missteps surfaced in an investigation into a deadly strike against an elementary school in Iran. An analyst's missed remarks and US intelligence systems that weren’t connected to one another are among the missteps that investigators have surfaced while probing the cause of a missile strike on an Iranian school that killed an estimated 120 children, people familiar with the matter said. Years before the US attacked Iran at the end of February, an intelligence analyst examining information about potential future strike targets in Iran noticed changes at a site the US had previously characterized as a naval facility belonging to the elite wing of the Iranian military in Minab city in the southeast of the country. It was, in fact, now an elementary school.
