A still image from video shows what experts say to Reuters appears to be a U.S. Tomahawk missile hitting near the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, Hormozgan province, Iran, February 28, 2026, amid the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. MEHR NEWS/Handout via Reuters The United States was responsible for a Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian school because of a targeting mistake, The New York Times reported on Wednesday (March 11, 2026). The newspaper, citing U.S. officials, said the investigation into the February 28 strike was ongoing but preliminary findings were that the United States was responsible. Iran-Israel war updates on March 11, 2026 The U.S. military was conducting strikes on an adjacent Iranian base of which the school building was formerly a part and target coordinates were set using outdated data, it said. President Donald Trump suggested earlier this week that Iran itself may have been responsible but later said he could “live with” whatever the investigation reveals. Iran has said the strike on the elementary school in the southern city of Minab killed more than 150 people.
