I thought POTUS said it was Iran the other day. What becomes of this, then?

Top five most misleading article titles of all time. What next, missile hits military ship near waters normally used for trading?

What kind of headline is this? After a week of denial and blaming Iran of "poor accuracy". More accurate: US missile capable of < 5 meters of accuracy hits Iranian school 200m away from military base, according to BBC.

As an Iranian-American, I don't trust BBC. I'm sorry.

According to the NYT, there were "at least 175 people" killed. Mostly children (it was a girls elementary school) Possibly relevant are the concerns of the use of AI to determine targets. A park called "police park" was bombed and this has been taking as part of an increasing collection of evidence of "warslop". The park had nothing to do with police or the military and was likely determined by AI https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/03/iran-war-... https://www.commondreams.org/news/us-israel-ai-iran

I’m not a fan of our (the US) involvement in this conflict. That said it seems like a properly executed precision strike. The school is 200m from the Tomahawk impact. Is the intent of the article to showcase American precision or to imply the school was hit? I’m confused.

likely one of the targets picked and prioritized by Claude because Pentagon refuses to deny it US is starting to either accidentally or on purpose take out desalinization plants too That's going to murder way more than 200 civilians and is another war crime BTW they are still murdering fishermen off Venezuela, that never stopped

pr is easy, you just build your base next to a school and reap the sympathy of fools.

It is wild to see America in 2026, I grew up idolizing it. But a quote I heard during the election of Pope Leo:- > “Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope.' And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don't want America running the world religiously. So, I think there's some truth to that, that we're such a superpower and so dominant, they don't wanna give us, also, control over the church." Has stuck with me, and I thought it to be a little far fetched. But here we are and I find it hard to deny America is in decline.

Ok, so since the article isn't clear (once again, OSINT is the only reliable source it seems). - Multiple missiles of unknown origin hit the school where at least 110 schoolgirl died. - Multiple missiles hit IRGC hospital/clinic near that school around the same time. - one missile that struck the hospital/clinic was identified as a Tomahawk, which would indicate that the strikes were from US force. While it is impossible to be 100% sure that the school was also struck by the US, the multiple strikes make the US 'air defense missile miss' story extremely unlikely. The fact that the salvo that hit the hospital was from the US make it more likely that they also struck the school, and not Israel.
