US President Donald Trump has denied responsibility for the attack on an Iranian girls' elementary school. The bombing in the city of Minab killed 175 people. Most of them were children. He claimed that Iran fired the missiles itself.
While the AP, CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post had analyzed satellite images and other visual evidence and concluded that the US military dropped the bomb. The US bombed an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base near the school on February 28. The girls' elementary school was also destroyed in the process.
Asked whether the US was responsible for the attack on the school, Trump said, "I think, based on the evidence that I have seen, it was Iran."
Then a reporter asked US war affairs officer Pete Hegseth, "Is it true that Iran did it?" "We are investigating this," Hegseth said, adding, "The only party that is targeting civilians is Iran."
On Thursday, Reuters quoted two US officials as saying that US military investigators believe the US military was responsible for the attack on the school in Minab. Reuters said no final conclusions had been reached as the investigation was ongoing.
The United Nations condemned the attack as a "grave attack on children, education and the future of an entire community."
