Wat er veranderde

• A US Tomahawk struck the area of the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school on February 28, 2026, the opening day of the US–Israeli war on Iran; a US preliminary inquiry, multiple forensic investigations and Amnesty International have all found the United States responsible.
• The Pentagon elevated its investigation on March 13, 2026, and has released no formal finding as of early July.

Toen nog open

• The precise death toll — Iranian authorities, Sky News/Forensic Architecture, the BBC, Amnesty and Al Jazeera give materially different counts ranging from 140 to 170, and the breakdown between children and adults varies with them.
• Whether the strike was deliberate, negligent, or a failure of intelligence-sharing within the targeting pipeline; no US internal review has been made public.

Waar we op zouden letten

• The publication, or continued non-publication, of a Pentagon finding, and whether Congress moves from demanding answers to compelling them.

Wat we eerst wisten

• Five independent news organisations and one academic forensic unit say a U.S. Tomahawk struck the Iranian base next to Shajareh Tayyebeh school on Feb. 28, 2026.
• The Pentagon's own March 4 briefing map lists Minab inside the U.S. target box for the opening hours of Operation Epic Fury.
• A second strike hit the neighbourhood while rescuers were still on the ground.

Toen nog open

• Whether the strike was a deliberate targeting of the school, a known collateral consequence, or a targeting failure on the adjacent base — the U.S. has not publicly explained.
• Why the Pentagon investigation has produced no public finding more than 100 days after the strike.
• Whether any U.S. service member has been disciplined, reassigned, or held accountable in any form.

Waar we op zouden letten

• The release of the Forensic Architecture–Sky News report and the AP's July 1 silence story both raise the pressure for an official U.S. response.
• Any declassification of targeting materials, cockpit video, or battle-damage assessment from CENTCOM.
• Whether Congress opens its own inquiry into how a school compound appeared inside the first-100-hours target diagram.
