五角大楼周五表示，已对2月28日发生在伊朗米纳布的打击事件展开正式指挥调查。伊朗政权官员称，此次打击导致军事基地旁一所学校内数十名儿童死亡。
关于美国是否可能参与此次打击、行动前使用的情报、伊朗是否在平民附近部署军事资产以保护军事目标或利用潜在伤亡作为武器化手段等问题的质疑持续发酵。
战争部长皮特·黑格塞斯在五角大楼简报会上表示，美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）已任命一名来自司令部外部的高级军官领导此次审查。
“中央司令部已指定一名调查官员完成此次指挥调查，”黑格塞斯称，调查人员是一名将军。”此次指挥调查将根据需要耗时多久来解决与此次事件相关的所有问题。”
中央司令部向伊朗平民发出安全警告，称政权利用”人口密集地区”发动袭击
“在我们与伊朗的冲突中，只有一个实体从未以平民为目标，真的从未以平民为目标，”他在调查展开之际为美国的打击程序进行辩护。”我们将进行调查，查明真相，并在掌握真相后予以公布。”
随着调查的持续进行而答案未出，此次打击行动受到了密切审视。
如果美军实施了此次袭击，这将引发人们对美军规划人员如何评估人口密集地区的平民风险，以及旨在防止非故意伤亡的保障措施在高强度冲突初期是否按预期发挥作用等问题的质疑。
中央司令部负责监督美国在伊朗的行动和所有中东行动，该部门拒绝证实美军是否发射了导弹，仅表示”鉴于事件正在调查中，此时发表评论不合适”。
伊朗裔美国记者巴娜法什·赞德一直在追踪伊朗的相关报道，她指出这所学校已存在十多年，据报与伊朗军方有关联。
“这所学校是为（伊斯兰革命卫队）海军的子女开办的，这充分说明该地点的性质以及他们如何利用平民作为盾牌，”她说。
使用人体盾牌违反国际人道主义法。
尽管伊朗政权声称有168至180人死亡，其中大多是7至12岁的女孩以及学校的教师和家长，但赞德告诉福克斯新闻数字版，目前尚无独立机构证实这些伤亡数字。
“除政权来源外，没有任何人证实伤亡人数，”她说。”该地区一些人称是65名男孩死亡。65名男孩？周六上午10:30，65名男孩会在女子学校里做什么？”
针对似乎显示新挖坟墓的卫星图像，赞德补充道：”坟墓数量与他们声称的死亡人数不符，这说不通。”
美国政府尚未证实死亡人数。
《纽约时报》周三报道称，美国官员的初步调查结果显示，此次打击可能是美军实施的，尽管调查仍在进行中。
针对《纽约时报》的报道，中央司令部向福克斯新闻数字版重申调查仍在进行中。
伊朗局势升级：枪声与催泪瓦斯袭击大学，美军打击迫在眉睫
前美国海军中央司令部和美国第五舰队司令、退休海军中将凯文·多尼根警告称，不要急于得出全面审查结果，他表示美军的打击 doctrine 旨在防止平民悲剧，包括在批准打击前进行法律审查和附带损害评估。
“我们确实有法律顾问参与打击目标规划流程，”多尼根告诉福克斯新闻数字版。
但即使是精确制导武器也无法消除不确定性。
“战争并非精确无误，”多尼根说。”错误可能发生，并且可能在事件链的任何环节出现。”
战斧导弹制造商雷神公司未回应置评请求。
五角大楼前平民伤害评估主任韦斯·布莱恩特表示，他的办公室——卓越平民保护中心——曾负责就打击目标和减轻平民伤害的方法向指挥官提供建议，但在过去一年中被大幅缩减。
布莱恩特称，综合所有现有证据，强烈表明美军参与了此次袭击。
“目前所有证据都指向美国发动了此次打击，”布莱恩特告诉福克斯新闻数字版。
布莱恩特称，如果美军实施了此次打击，更可能的解释是目标识别或平民风险评估存在失误。
“这些弹药的圆概率误差非常小，如果发生误击，也只会在几米范围内，”他说。
卫星图像和伊朗官员的报告显示，伊朗米纳布的沙贾雷泰伊贝赫小学距离相邻的伊斯兰革命卫队海军设施约600米，这凸显了民用和军事基础设施的位置多么接近。
“我更倾向于认为这是美军一方的完全误判，”他说，并指出问题可能出在未能正确审查或更新目标信息上，而非随机故障。
白宫发言人安娜·凯利告诉福克斯新闻数字版：”此次调查正在进行中。如前所述，与恐怖主义政权伊朗不同，美国从不以平民为打击目标。”

可能的战斧导弹及打击位置
开源视频分析和报告的导弹残骸引发了人们对该弹药可能是美国战斧巡航导弹的猜测——伊朗并不使用该武器。
战斧导弹由美国及其有限的亲密盟友（包括英国和澳大利亚）部署，而这两个国家均未在此次冲突中发射导弹。
战斧导弹是一种远程精确制导巡航导弹，能够打击数百英里外的目标，通常携带高爆炸药弹头。
包括专注于开源分析的荷兰调查新闻机构贝尔金猫在内的独立开源调查人员，已检查了该地区的视频和卫星图像，并报告称多枚导弹在短时间内击中了该建筑群。
然而，社交媒体评论者也有自己的理论。
“相关弹药的翼身比与伊朗仿制的Kh-55衍生陆基攻击巡航导弹相符，”播客主持人兼老兵马特·塔迪奥在X平台上表示。”那么可能是什么原因造成的？简而言之，可能是伊朗Kh-55导弹的GPS干扰。美国和以色列过去一直并持续积极干扰伊朗空域。”

前国家安全委员会官员贾韦德·阿里现在是杰拉尔德·R·福特公共政策学院的教授，他告诉福克斯新闻数字版，核心问题是支撑打击决策的情报质量。
“针对该设施的情报图景有多可靠？”阿里说。”用于所谓目标包的情报质量如何？”
阿里曾在国防情报局负责打击目标分析，他表示军事打击通常由多渠道情报——人力、技术、地理空间和开源情报——综合而成，旨在确保对目标是合法军事目标有高度信心。
“显然，出现了某种错误，”阿里说。
平民与军事设施的近距离部署引发打击目标问题
布莱恩特称，五角大楼的卓越平民保护中心及更广泛的平民伤害减轻体系在2025年被缩减，负责相关调查的人员数量减少。
该中心由国会设立，旨在帮助军方在冲突中减少对平民的伤害，但有报道显示，其专职人员被整合进更广泛的官僚机构，或作为部门重组的一部分被裁撤。
据布莱恩特称，该中心的团队设计用于与指挥官合作进行目标规划，确保目标是活跃的军事设施，并就平民伤害的可能性提供建议。
五角大楼未公开该办公室的当前状态或人员配置，也未证实该办公室是否参与正在进行的伊朗米纳布学校调查。

一位要求匿名的开源情报专家和前情报官员告诉福克斯新闻数字版，该建筑的结构与此次打击中被打击的其他军事建筑相似，这有助于解释为何情报误判可能发生，使分析师认为该地点是建筑群内的另一个军事设施。
分析师称，在精确打击中如果发生平民伤亡，解释通常分为三类：情报失误、技术故障或人为错误。
以色列军事情报前负责人阿莫斯·亚德林告诉福克斯新闻数字版，错误或过时的情报可能导致误判，而GPS制导弹药可能发生故障或被干扰，人为错误（如坐标输入错误）也是可能因素。
如果调查最终发现疏忽或打击流程故障，美军有先例对相关人员施加后果。
布莱恩特援引2015年美军对阿富汗昆都士一家医院的打击事件为例，当时该医院由无国界医生组织运营，造成数十名患者和医护人员死亡。
美军后来的调查结论称，此次空袭是”一场可悲且本可避免的意外”，主要由人为错误和程序失误导致，医疗设施被误判为军事目标。
“在那次事件中，几名指挥官被解职，”布莱恩特说，指出问责措施可从行政处分到撤销资质不等，具体取决于调查结果。

Hegseth announces Pentagon probe into deadly strike on Iranian school
Secretary of War says CENTCOM has appointed a senior officer to lead review into Feb 28 strike on girls’ school
By Morgan Phillips, Efrat Lachter

The Pentagon said Friday it has opened a formal command investigation into the Feb. 28 strike in Minab, Iran, where Iranian regime officials claim dozens of children were killed in a strike at a school beside a military compound.
Questions continue to mount about possible U.S. involvement in the strike, the intelligence used before it and whether Iran placed military assets near civilians to shield them or weaponize potential casualties.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said at a Pentagon briefing that U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has appointed a senior officer from outside the command to lead the review.
“CENTCOM has designated an investigating officer to complete a command investigation,” Hegseth said, noting that the investigator is a general officer. “The command investigation will take as long as necessary to address all the matters surrounding this incident.”
CENTCOM ISSUES SAFETY WARNING TO IRANIAN CIVILIANS AS REGIME USES ‘HEAVILY POPULATED’ AREAS FOR LAUNCHES
“There’s only one entity in this conflict, between us and Iran, that never targets civilians, literally never target civilians,” he said, defending U.S. targeting procedures while the investigation unfolds. “We will investigate. We’ll get to the truth and we’ll share it when we have it.”
The strike has drawn scrutiny as the investigation continues without answers.
If U.S. forces carried out the attack, it would raise questions about how American military planners assess civilian risk in densely populated areas and whether safeguards designed to prevent unintended casualties functioned as intended in the opening phase of a high-intensity conflict.
CENTCOM, the military department tasked with overseeing the U.S. operation in Iran and all Middle East operations, has declined to confirm whether American forces launched the missile, saying only that “it would be inappropriate to comment given the incident is under investigation.”
Iranian-American journalist Banafsheh Zand, who has been following the reporting in Iran, pointed to the school that has been there for more than a decade, reported affiliation with Iran’s military.
“The school itself was for the children of the (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) Navy, and it speaks volumes to where the place was and how they use civilian shields,” she said.
The use of human shields is against international humanitarian law.
While the regime claims between 168 fatalities and 180 fatalities, mostly girls between the ages of 7 and 12, along with teachers and parents from the school, Zand told Fox News Digital that there has been no independent confirmation of the reported casualty figures.
“There is no confirmation on the number of people, from anyone other than regime sources,” she said. “Some people in the area said it was 65 boys. Sixty-five boys? What are 65 boys doing in a girls’ school at 10:30 on a Saturday morning?”
Addressing satellite images that appear to show newly dug graves, Zand added: “The number of graves are not in keeping with the number of people that they claim is dead. It doesn’t match up.”
The U.S. government has not confirmed the death toll.
Preliminary findings from U.S. officials suggest the strike was likely carried out by American forces, The New York Times reported Wednesday, though the investigation remains ongoing.
In response to the Times’ reporting, Central Command reiterated to Fox News Digital that the investigation is ongoing.
IRAN UNREST ESCALATES AS GUNFIRE, TEAR GAS HIT UNIVERSITIES AMID LOOMING US STRIKE
Retired Vice Adm. Kevin Donegan, who previously commanded U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the U.S. 5th Fleet, cautioned against getting ahead of the full review and said U.S. targeting doctrine is designed to prevent civilian tragedies, including legal review and collateral damage assessments before a strike is approved.
“We actually have judge advocates that sit there and help us through the process of targeting,” Donegan told Fox News Digital.
But even precision-guided weapons do not eliminate uncertainty.
“War isn’t precise,” Donegan said. “Mistakes can be made, and they can happen anywhere in the chain of events.”
Raytheon, the manufacturer of the Tomahawk missile, could not be reached for comment.
Wes Bryant, the Pentagon’s former chief of civilian harm assessments, said his office, the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence, was tasked with advising commanders on targeting and ways to mitigate civilian harm but had been severely curtailed over the past year.
Bryant said that taken together, the available evidence strongly suggests U.S. involvement.
“All evidence, at this point, points to a U.S. strike,” Bryant told Fox News Digital.
If U.S. forces conducted the strike, Bryant said the more plausible explanation would involve a failure in target identification or civilian risk assessment.
“These munitions have a very small circular probable,” Bryant said. “If it missed, it would have been within a few meters.”
Satellite imagery and reporting from Iranian officials indicate the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school sat roughly 600 meters from the adjacent Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval facility in Minab, Iran, underscoring how closely civilian and military infrastructure were positioned.
“I’m leaning more toward that this is complete misidentification,” from the U.S., he said, arguing that the likely issue would be a failure to properly vet or update targeting information rather than a random malfunction.
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital, “This investigation is ongoing. As we have said, unlike the terrorist Iranian regime, the United States does not target civilians.”

Possible Tomahawk missile and strike location
Open-source video analysis and reported missile remnants have fueled speculation that the munition resembled a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile — a weapon Iran does not operate.
The Tomahawk is fielded by the U.S. and a limited number of close allies, including the United Kingdom and Australia, neither of which has been firing missiles in the conflict.
The Tomahawk is a long-range, precision-guided cruise missile capable of striking targets hundreds of miles away and typically carrying a high-explosive warhead.
Independent open-source investigators, including Bellingcat, a Netherlands-based investigative journalism group specializing in open-source analysis, have examined video and satellite imagery from the area and reported that multiple strikes hit the compound within a short time window.
However, commentators on social media have their own theories.
“The wing-to-body ratio of the munition in question matches an Iranian Kh-55–derived Land Attack Cruise Missile,” said podcast host and veteran Matt Tardio on X. “So what could have caused this? Simply put, GPS jamming of an Iranian KH-55. The USA and Israel were, and continue to actively jam the Iranian airspace.”

Former National Security Council official Javed Ali, now a professor at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, told Fox News Digital the central question is the quality of intelligence that informed the strike decision.
“How solid was the intelligence picture on that facility?” Ali said. “How good was the intelligence that went into what’s called a target package?”
Ali, who previously worked on targeting analysis at the Defense Intelligence Agency, said military strikes are typically built from multiple streams of intelligence — human, technical, geospatial and open source — designed to provide high confidence that a structure is a legitimate military objective.
“Clearly something went wrong,” Ali said.
Civilian proximity raises targeting questions
Bryant said the Pentagon’s Civilian Protection Center of Excellence and broader civilian harm mitigation enterprise were scaled back in 2025, reducing the number of personnel available to conduct investigations into civilian harm.
The center was established by Congress to help the military minimize harm to civilians in conflict, but reporting shows its dedicated staff were folded into broader bureaucratic units or removed as part of a departmental reorganization.
Its teams were designed to work with commanders on target planning to make sure targets were active military sites and advise on the potential for civilian harm, according to Bryant.
The Pentagon has not publicly detailed the current status or staffing of the office, nor confirmed whether the office is involved in the ongoing Minab, Iran, school investigation.

An open source intelligence expert and former intel official, who requested anonymity, told Fox News Digital the structure resembles the other military buildings that were targeted in the strike, which could help explain how an intelligence misreading might occur and lead analysts to believe the site was another military facility within the compound.
Analysts say when civilian casualties occur during precision strikes, the explanations generally fall into three categories: intelligence failure, technical malfunction or human error.
Amos Yadlin, a former head of Israeli military intelligence, told Fox News Digital incorrect or outdated intelligence could lead to misidentification, while a GPS-guided munition could malfunction or be disrupted. Human error — such as incorrect coordinate entry — is another possibility.
If an investigation ultimately finds negligence or a breakdown in targeting procedures, the U.S. military has a precedent for imposing consequences.
Bryant pointed to the 2015 U.S. strike on a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, that killed dozens of patients and medical staff at a facility operated by Doctors Without Borders, the international humanitarian medical charity.
A U.S. military investigation later concluded that airstrike was “a tragic and avoidable accident” caused primarily by human error and procedural failures, with the medical facility mistakenly identified as a combat target.
“In that case, a couple of different commanders were removed,” Bryant said, noting that accountability can range from administrative measures to the revocation of certifications, depending on findings.
