DATA & FIGURES
The attack on the school in Minab resulted in the deaths of at least 175 people, with many more injured. The incident has been described as one of the worst mass-casualty events of the Iran war. The use of seven-year-old targeting data that failed to indicate that the building next to an IRGC base was a girls' school has been cited as a possible cause of the error.
THE SCENARIO
The incident has highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in military operations. The US government has been accused of trying to cover up the incident, with Donald Trump suggesting that the investigation was ongoing, despite reports that it had concluded.
