Flawed early intel spurred Trump to blame Iran for deadly school strike

TL;DR Summary
President Trump publicly blamed Iran for a deadly school strike after an initial CIA assessment suggested a non-U.S. missile, a view that was quickly reversed when videos showed it was a U.S. Tomahawk. Despite the updated finding, Trump pressed the Iran connection. Pentagon investigators, who concluded the missile was a U.S. Tomahawk, are examining why the intelligence was outdated as the Minab strike killed at least 175 people, many of them children, highlighting a grave targeting error and questions about information handling.
