I'm betting it was Israel told them to target this spot right there. And they did without questions.
They knew it was a school. Everyone knew it was a school.

Wait wasn't the original story that Iran launched a tomahawk, that it could not possibly have, at itself?
Don't buy the "accident" cover-up. What about the USA/Israeli treatment of Muslim-majority Middle East countries makes anyone think the USA/Israel wouldn't want to blow up an elementary school and kill 120 kids? Is the ongoing murder of Palestinian civilians including children also a series of accidents? And what about the orphanage?
Opting into their preferred language only creates a semblance of doubt that the USA will use to move past this murder so their "disjointed" systems can blow up another group of civilians.
I think it’s important to at least begin with a minimally presumptive stance to avoid engaging in false rhetoric. That it was an accidental war crime is still utterly heinous. We can express doubt about it being an accident, but we should examine it from the “best case” angle first before tackling that separately.
Calling it an accident just lays the carpet for the Department of WAR to request more money for "training" and "better equipment" (to kill more civilians including children).
I don't want the US government to have better tools for killing people in the Middle East. I want the US government to stop killing people in the Middle East. We gain nothing by taking them at their word.
Keep in mind that this was declared an Iranian attack by the USA before the USA labeled in an "accident". Push harder and they'll probably use Israeli's argument about "human shields" to blame Iran again.
I'm just waiting to find out Hegseth simply prompted Grok.
The new American Exceptionalism: We can't spell and we don't know what we're bombing.
New package but the same old bullshit.
Hooray! We've progressed from WH40K humans to WH40K Orcs!
Time to paint everything red.
Current U.S. targeting doctrine holds military commanders responsible for prioritizing targets and distinguishing civilian sites. An optional target-vetting process exists to assess the accuracy of intelligence prior to strikes.
It remains unclear whether Centcom initiated this vetting process for operations against Iran.>
Sounds rushed, lazy, or both. Either way, the whole operation is a political embarrassment and an undignified war crime. Huge mistake to attack Iran like this. Bigger mistake to kill children and then be so callous about it. Kegsbreath's and the Donvict's behavior are shameful.
an undignified war crime
I'm trying to imagine what would be a dignified war crime.
What if they could have nuked the Eagle's Nest instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
