Iran War Day 13: Pentagon Probe Finds US Missile Struck Minab School as Trump Says There Is Practically Nothing Left to Bomb

Day thirteen of Operation Epic Fury and the question America had been avoiding for nearly two weeks finally got an answer. The Pentagon's preliminary investigation found that a United States Tomahawk cruise missile killed the children of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab. One hundred and sixty-five dead. Most of them girls aged seven to twelve. The strike happened because Central Command was working from satellite imagery thirteen years out of date. The school had been separated from the adjacent IRGC base since 2016. Nobody updated the target list.

Trump spent two weeks blaming Iran. Then told reporters on Wednesday he did not know about the report. Republican Senator John Kennedy said it was a terrible, terrible mistake. Then added: the kids are still dead.

While that story broke, Trump told Axios there was practically nothing left to bomb in Iran. Israel's defence minister said the war had no time limit. Iran's president demanded compensation and international guarantees as prerequisites for any ceasefire. Trump's own Middle East envoy, asked how the war ends, said he did not know.

Three more ships were struck near the Strait of Hormuz. The IEA released a record four hundred million barrels of emergency oil. Iran withdrew from the FIFA World Cup. Major banks closed Gulf offices. And a Reuters investigation revealed the Pentagon had concealed that one hundred and fifty American troops had been wounded.
