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.

        I’m pretty sure they don’t, actually

        Such a strike where they’re hitting hundreds of sites in a couple of hours with a multitude of planes in the air simultaneously is planned way in advance and carried out with very careful timing. Even bombs are pre-programmed for certain coördinates. There’s just no leeway for stuff like Tom Cruise grabbing the mic and radio’ing “oh no Roystar-5-9 I just saw a baby crawling inside that building, cancel your orders right now!”
