Trump Shrugs Off Deadly Iran School Strike Amid US Role Questions
President Trump dismisses responsibility for a deadly school attack in Iran, claiming the truth may never be known. But internal reports suggest a US link. Get the full story!
President Donald Trump stated Wednesday that the perpetrators of a devastating strike on a girls’ school in Iran, which killed over 175 children and teachers, may never be definitively identified. This comes as questions persist regarding potential U.S. involvement in the tragic February 28 incident in Minab, southern Iran.
Trump, speaking to reporters, expressed doubt that the issue of responsibility would ever be resolved. "I don’t know that they are ever going to solve that problem," he remarked, attributing the chaos to "missiles flying all over the place." He adamantly denied any U.S. role, saying, "Somebody said it was our missile, maybe it wasn’t our missile but I have seen nothing to lead me to believe it was. I don’t think it was us."
However, a report by Reuters in March indicated that an initial internal U.S. military investigation had likely found U.S. forces responsible for the strike. Sources familiar with the matter suggested the incident might have resulted from the use of outdated targeting information. The Pentagon has since escalated the investigation, though no public confirmation of preliminary conclusions has been made. The event has triggered international outrage and heightened scrutiny of U.S. military operations in the region.
