The attack on a school in Iran could be the result of an American strike, according to an investigation by the New York Times. Over 150 people, including children, are reported to have been killed.

The airstrike that took place on Saturday on a school in Minab, Iran, may be linked to an American strike targeting a nearby naval base of the Revolutionary Guards, according to an investigation by the New York Times.

Also, Reuters, citing two American sources, reports that military investigators consider it "likely" that an American munition hit the girls' school, where Iran claims about 150 students died, making the incident one of the most severe episodes of civilian casualties caused by the U.S. in the Middle East in recent decades.

Although the United States and Israel have not confirmed the attack, the American Secretary of Defense stated that the Pentagon is conducting an investigation and that American forces do not target civilians.

Satellite images and video recordings suggest that the school was severely damaged during the attack, which coincided with bombings on an Iranian naval base.

The New York Times investigation ruled out the hypothesis of an Iranian missile attack, and if it is confirmed that an American bomb hit the school, the question will arise whether it was a mistake or an attack based on erroneous information. A similar investigation conducted by Le Monde confirmed the presence of children among the victims.
