Current U.S. targeting doctrine holds military commanders responsible for prioritizing targets and distinguishing civilian sites. An optional target-vetting process exists to assess the accuracy of intelligence prior to strikes.

It remains unclear whether Centcom initiated this vetting process for operations against Iran.>

Sounds rushed, lazy, or both. Either way, the whole operation is a political embarrassment and an undignified war crime. Huge mistake to attack Iran like this. Bigger mistake to kill children and then be so callous about it. Kegsbreath’s and the Donvict’s behavior are shameful.
