Earlier today in the NYTimes, this gem of unbiased headlines:

"A U.S. Tomahawk missile hit a naval base beside an Iranian school, video shows."

While in the article:

"A newly released video adds to the evidence that an American missile likely hit an Iranian elementary school where 175 people, many of them children, were reported killed."

So:

"Evidence shows US Tomahawk Missile Killed 175 people after it hits a Iranian elementary school"

Would be more apt.

I don't think that's correct according to the newly published video. Correct me if wrong, but I think it shows a Tomahawk hitting nearby the school, and based on the amount of dust it seems that the school was already hit moments earlier. So it still isn't 100% clear if the school was also hit by a Tomahawk or by something else.
Yeah, an iranian missile must have hit that school minutes before an american Tomahawk landed near that school
I guess it's possible it was hit by an Iranian interceptor rocket. But even if that's the case, US would still share the blame.
