"Analysis suggests?"
Well you can't be too careful when it comes to bombing school children!
Does anyone take this sort of mealy-mouthed reporting seriously these days?
Please enjoy the passive voice, the vague implications, the distancing. Hey things can go a bit wrong in a bombing campaign of abject choice!
Take it from Leavitt and the-buck-stops-somewhere-well-below-him-unless-its-effusive-praise-or-a-medal-Trump:
The U.S. would never target a school unless it intended to, therefore the U.S. could not have bombed that school. QED. Unless it intended to.
And Israel would never bomb a school just once, it would bomb it, wait until first responders come and bomb it again.
- dekhn 7mo agoThe story has been updated with new data. It looks like (again, based on unofficial information sources) that the US military believes it made the mistake. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/us/politics/iran-school-missile-strike.html https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/us/politics/iran-school-m... The times is quite good at representing information accurately and "analysis suggests" is a clearly worded way of them saying "we're pretty sure but we don't have enough evidence to say for certain".
