https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-may-have-struck-iranian-girls-school-after-using-outdated-targeting-data-2026-03-11/WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - A strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children may be the result of U.S. use of outdated targeting data, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday, providing new details about what would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts.
One of the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said officials responsible for creating targeting packages appeared to have used out-of-date intelligence. The second source confirmed that out-of-date intelligence appears to have been used.
In response to a request for comment, the Pentagon said that "the incident is under investigation." The possible use of outdated targeting data was first reported by the New York Times earlier on Wednesday.
It is unclear how old data ended up being used for the strike and what, if any other factors, might be responsible for the error.

Bullshit, gaslighting and lies. How?
Well, let's get some classified data from a Russian agent, named Donald Trump.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanocallaghan/2019/09/01/trump-accidentally-revealed-the-amazing-resolution-of-u-s-spy-satellites/
On Friday, August 30, Trump tweeted what appeared to be a satellite image of the Semnan Launch Site One in Iran, the location of a suspected rocket failure recently, which Trump says the U.S. was not involved in despite the tensions between the two countries.

Based on the resolution of the photo Trump tweeted, though, it appears USA 224 has a resolution of at least 10 centimeters, if not better as Trump appears to have taken an image of a printout. Thats mighty impressive, but of course also potentially useful information to some of Americas adversaries.
This will have global repercussions, Joshua Pollack, a nuclear proliferation expert, told CNBC. The utter carelessness of it all. So reckless.
Trump for his part doesnt seem to have realized the implications of his tweet, saying he had an absolute right to release the photo. I released it, which I have the absolute right to do, he said.

Get that? Satellites in orbit 24 by 7 by 365, with a resolution of less than 10 centimeters --- FOUR INCHES, far longer than his peepee, somehow mistook an military training facility for a school full of young girls, and a double-tap strike (https://www.commondreams.org/news/iran-school-double-tap)
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/3/questions-over-minab-girls-school-strike-as-israel-us-deny-involvement
Some websites and social media accounts linked to Israel claimed the site was part of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base.
However, an analysis by Al Jazeeras digital investigations unit of (commecial?) satellite imagery compiled over more than a decade, as well as recent video clips, published news reports and statements from official Iranian sources, tells a very different story.
The findings reveal that the school had been clearly separate from an adjacent military site for at least 10 years.
