"Not that we know of, Shawn. And the department of war is investigating this matter and I would just tell you very strongly the United States of America does not target civilians unlike the rogue Iranian regime that targets civilians, that kills children, that has killed thousands of their own people in the past several weeks and uses propaganda quite effectively and unfortunately cover many people in this room have fallen for that propaganda."
"So I would caution you from pointing the finger at the United States of America when it comes to targeting civilians because that's not something that these armed forces do."
"We of course never target civilian targets, but we're taking a look and investigating that."
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to questions about a reported airstrike on Shajarah Tayyebeh, an all-girls elementary school in Minab, Iran, that resulted in approximately 175 deaths, predominantly children. When directly asked whether the United States was responsible, Leavitt stated the matter is under investigation. She defended U.S. military practices, asserting that American armed forces do not target civilians, contrasting this with Iran's government record on civil rights violations. Leavitt criticized media coverage, accusing journalists of accepting Iranian propaganda narratives blaming the U.S. for the school strike. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth similarly stated the military never intentionally targets civilian targets while confirming an investigation into the incident.
