“Intelligence Failure’ is a term of art used by government and intelligence related agencies and research bodies. In that context it can imply a failure to predict, a policymaker’s failure to act on intelligence, and failure from other governmental organizations.
We can safely say that the US missile attack of a primary school in Minab, Iran at the outset of the joint US/Israeli attack on Iran was an example of an abominable intelligence failure. Using out of date targeting information resulted in up to 175 people being killed, mostly young children. However, the term “intelligence failure” should also be logically considered more personally and expansively. The slaughter of young children should be seen in the context of the overall folly of starting a war - a war that is a Trump personal decision – one based on his personal “intelligence.”
