In this discussion with Wes J. Bryant, a former Forward Air Controller and senior targeting advisor at the Pentagon, he emphasized the fundamental negligence that led to the tragedy of the Minab strike that killed 170 elementary school girls. Bryant stated, "This was just pure negligence and recklessness." He highlighted that, despite decades of military targeting experience, the protocols for intelligence vetting and targeting were not followed. This lapse not only raises concerns about military accountability but also emphasizes the need for rigorous adherence to established procedures to ensure civilian safety.
