"U.S. military investigators think American forces likely were responsible for a strike that killed dozens of children at a girls elementary school in Iran, a U.S. official said. The investigation hasn't reached a final conclusion, the official said. Shajarah Tayyebeh Girls' School, in the town of Minab near the Strait of Hormuz, was hit Saturday on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli air campaign in what appears to be the deadliest strike of the war."
"No, in my opinion, based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran. We figure it was done by Iran, because they're very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever. It was done by Iran."
"But, the only the only side that targets civilians is Iran. We're investigating, but the only side that targets civilians is Iran, Hegseth maintained while backing Trump's assertion about Iranian responsibility for the school strike."
During a press briefing aboard Air Force One, President Trump attributed a strike on Shajarah Tayyebeh Girls' School in Minab, Iran to Iranian forces, claiming Iran lacks munition accuracy. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth supported Trump's assertion while stating an investigation was ongoing. However, reports from The Wall Street Journal and Reuters indicate U.S. military investigators believe American forces were likely responsible for the February 28 strike that killed dozens of children. The school was hit on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli air campaign. Iran reported over 160 deaths, though this figure could not be independently verified. The investigation had not reached final conclusions at the time of reporting.
