Was AI to blame for the US attack on a girls’ school in Iran?

Just this week, US President Donald Trump again claims that the Iran was himself to blame for the catastrophe. Anonymous Pentagon insiders had previously stated in US media that the debris of an intercepted missile had fallen on the school.

Israel does not possess Tomahawk cruise missiles

Based on video recordings and satellite images, the evidence is overwhelming that at least one bullet that hit the school was one Tomahawk cruise missile acted. Only the USA and an extremely limited selection of its allies have such a thing – namely Great Britain and Australia. Not even Israel has tomahawks in its arsenal. The fact that the Pentagon has long since initiated an internal investigation into the incident is another indication.

The US military generally promotes “Tomahawks” because of their accuracy: the missiles can not only fly independently towards a pre-programmed target, but can even change their route during the flight. The renowned video analysis team New York Times assumes that the attack probably took place at a building directly attached to the school Naval base of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards was valid. The girls’ school was once part of the military complex. It could be that the US military relied on outdated intelligence information in the attack.

Could an AI be to blame for the attack?

The US claims to have already attacked several thousand targets in Iran from the air. How these targets are selected is completely unclear – especially since the civil service staff in Washington was massively cut last year. Among other things, there is a department responsible for… Protection of civilians in war zones was responsible, completely saved been. US media have long speculated that the US military also carries out its air strikes AI models uses.

“One of the deadliest US military strikes”

Unlike other wars, much less freely accessible information about its course leaks out from Iran because… Mullah-Regime has severely restricted internet access for its population. Images shared by channels loyal to the regime are often distorted or even entirely AI-generated. Photos of the debris published by Iranian media cannot be independently verified.

However, international organizations like Human Rights Watch or the British NGO Bellingcat on the Internet there is evidence of air strikes on civilian targets. Emily Tripp, executive director of the NGO, said about the air raid on the girls’ school in Minab Airwarsthe Financial Times: “This is probably one of the deadliest U.S. military strikes we have ever documented.”

When the Pentagon completes its internal investigation, the results must be presented to select members of Congress. Afterwards the public will also know more.
