Whose airstrike hit a girls school in Iran? The US says it's still investigating.

"The strike was one of the deadliest attacks of the American-Israeli campaign against Iran so far, killing at least 175 people, most of whom were likely children, according to state media and health officials. It is not clear why the school was hit, or which country's forces fired at it."

"Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, was asked at a briefing Wednesday afternoon if the United States had conducted the airstrike on the school. 'Not that we know of,' she responded. 'The Department of War is investigating this matter.' Asked again several minutes later if there was any evidence that it was not a U.S. strike, or, conversely, if there had been any assessment as to whether Israel had played a role in the attack, she said: 'Again, the Department of War is currently investigating this matter.'"

"During his press briefing at the Pentagon on Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also was asked about the strike. 'All I can say is that we're investigating that,' Hegseth said. 'We of course never target civilian targets, but we're taking a look and investigating that.'"

An airstrike on Shajarah Tayyebeh, a girls elementary school in Minab, Iran, killed at least 175 people, predominantly children, on the opening day of the American-Israeli campaign against Iran. Trump administration officials, including White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, stated they were investigating whether the United States conducted the strike. Both officials declined to provide clarity on responsibility, with Hegseth emphasizing that the military never intentionally targets civilians. The reason for the school's targeting remains unclear. Thousands of mourners attended funerals in Minab, with verified footage showing multiple graves being prepared at a nearby cemetery.
