A continuing military investigation has determined that the
United States is responsible for a strike that hit an elementary
school in Iran, according to U.S. officials and others familiar
with the preliminary findings. Iranian officials have said the
death toll was at least 175 people, most of them children.

Malachy Browne and Julian E. Barnes, who have been covering the
strike, discuss what probably led to one of the most devastating
military errors in decades.

Guest:

Malachy Browne, the enterprise director of the
Visual Investigations team at The New York Times.

Julian E. Barnes, a reporter covering the U.S.
intelligence agencies and international security matters for
The New York Times.

Background reading:

A preliminary inquiry said that the United States was at
fault in a strike that hit a school in Iran.

A New York Times visual investigation suggested that the
strike appeared to have been part of an attack on an adjacent
naval base.
