據美國媒體11日報道,美國軍方一項正在進行的調查初步認定,伊朗一所小學2月28日遭“戰斧”導彈襲擊導致大量人員傷亡,系美軍“誤擊”,美方應對此承擔責任。
An ongoing military investigation has determined that the United States is responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, according to US officials and others familiar with the preliminary findings.

《紐約時報》和網絡雜志《截擊》報道,初步調查發現,美軍在打擊鄰近這所小學的一處伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊海軍基地時“目標定位錯誤”。一些知情官員說,美軍中央司令部人員使用了美國防情報局提供的“過時”數據創建了空襲目標坐標。
The Feb 28 strike on the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school building was the result of a targeting mistake by the US military, which was conducting strikes on an adjacent Iranian base of which the school building was formerly a part, the preliminary investigation found. Officers at US Central Command created the target coordinates for the strike using outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency, people briefed on the investigation said.
知情官員強調,這只是初步調查結果,還有一些重要的問題尚未解答,如為什么沒有對過時信息進行復核。
《紐約時報》報道指出,空襲一所滿是孩子的學校,“無疑將被記錄為近幾十年來最嚴重的軍事失誤之一”。
Officials emphasised that the findings are preliminary and that there are important unanswered questions about why the outdated information had not been double checked.
Striking a school full of children is sure to be recorded as one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades. Iranian officials have said the death toll was at least 165 people, most of them children.
美國總統特朗普11日在白宮接受媒體采訪被問及這一初步調查結果時,稱“我對此并不了解”。
特朗普9日在一場新聞發布會上表示,美方正在調查這起事件,但同時毫無依據地聲稱伊朗“也有一些‘戰斧’導彈”,再次暗示小學遇襲可能是伊方造成的。
美國和以色列2月28日對伊朗發起大規模軍事行動,伊朗南部米納卜市一所小學遭到襲擊,據伊朗媒體報道,至少165人遇難,其中大多是10歲左右的小女孩。美國多家媒體根據8日發布在網絡上的一段視頻分析判斷,一枚“戰斧”巡航導彈擊中這所小學,而在這場沖突中,唯一使用該型導彈的是美軍。
