US military forces struck an Iranian school, killing many. The incident may have been due to outdated intelligence, as a 2016-built fence separated the school from a military base.
The claim about the US military strike on an Iranian school is supported by some web evidence indicating that outdated intelligence led to an accidental strike, causing heavy casualties. However, no official confirmation or reputable fact-check was found to substantiate this. The claim regarding CENTCOM using outdated intelligence lacks specific evidence linking it to the incident. There is no evidence found to support the construction of a fence in 2016 nor that satellite imagery showed a connection. These claims are not verified but are indicated by some general references which weaken the confidence in their accuracy.
