March 5 (Reuters) - U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation, two U.S. officials told Reuters.

Reuters was unable to determine more details about the investigation, including what evidence contributed to the tentative assessment, what type of munition was used, who was responsible or why the U.S. might have struck the school.

In a separate analysis, The New York Times found the strike was likely part of a U.S. attack on an Iranian naval base located nearby the school.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday acknowledged the U.S. military was investigating the incident.

1. Why bomb a school full of children, teachers and staff?......................

investigate to the fullest, and please no F.B.I., unfortunately the incompetent DOJ may have to get involved tho.

2. More incompetence from Kegsbreath

I read elsewhere that the school used to be part of the navy base that was struck. There was speculation that DoD was using an outdated map of the complex and thought they were striking a military target. Watch for them to deny intentionally hitting it, saying it was an errant weapon accidentally hitting the school. We know that would be a lie because it was a "double tap" strike. We hit the target and then a short time later, just as first responders would be arriving, we hit it again.

4. Where did the 'double tap' information come from?

6. There was a report from educators at the school. nt

9. Do you have a source link?

11. Sure. Just a correction that it was the medics

on the scene who reported it.

3. Isn't it characteristic of Hegseth . . .

to mistake non-consenting persons for targets, especially females?

5. Hegseth bragging about not following rules of engagement anymore makes him a war criminal

The media should, but won't, question him about this with the framework that this is a direct result from his orders to not follow any rules of engagement.

10. War Crimes

Hegseth and trump both should be dragged off to the Hague. At least indict them so they can never travel outside the U.S. again. That would make the rest of the world very happy.

7. Well, our military was already directed to double tap innocent fishermen and we know Trump and Hegseth are misogynists
