The U.S. military is investigating if it’s responsible for a deadly missile strike on an elementary school in Iran that killed over 165 people, many of them children, in the opening hours of the war on Feb.

The US has sunk 60 Iranian navy vessels and destroyed most of Iran's conventional fleet. But the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed because Iran doesn't need a navy to keep ships out.
