And last update on the war.
The strike on Saturday on a school in southern Iran has been one of the deadliest of the war so far.
And neither the U.S.
nor Israel has taken responsibility for it.
But a body of evidence assembled by The Times suggests U.S.
forces were most likely to have carried it out.
Satellite imagery and verified videos show the school was severely damaged by a precision strike that happened at the same time there were attacks on a naval base next to it.
In official statements, the U.S.
has said its forces were going after naval targets in the area.
The school at one point was part of the naval campus, but a decade ago, satellite images show it was partitioned off and no longer connected to the base.
Over the years, a sports field and other visible hallmarks of a school were added.
The Times reviewed the imagery of the strike with Wes Bryant, a national security analyst who was a senior advisor on civilian harm at the Pentagon.
