Trump's UN Ambassador Punts When Pressed On President's Claim US Didn't Strike Girls School in Iran: I'll Leave That to the Investigators'

"The New York Times did a meticulous look at that [strike] satellite photos. They're not saying the U.S. would do that on purpose but they said it appears that the U.S. is responsible for that bombing. Why did the president say he believes it is Iran? Well, I'll leave that to the investigators to determine."

"I can tell you as a veteran in no uncertain terms the United States does everything it can to avoid civilian casualties. Sometimes, of course, tragic mistakes occur unlike what we see from the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the Iranian regime, who just massacred 30-40,000 of its own people."

"It's our school, these are our students, our girls, and they were attacked by an American jet fighter, and they have been killed. Why Iran is responsible? Have we started this war?"

Following an airstrike on an Iranian girls' school that killed approximately 175 people, President Trump asserted Iran was responsible, citing their inaccurate munitions. Defense Secretary Hegseth stated only Iran targets civilians. However, U.N. Ambassador Waltz could not support Trump's claim when presented with New York Times satellite analysis indicating U.S. involvement. Waltz deflected by referencing past instances of false blame attribution, including a Gaza incident involving Hamas, and emphasized U.S. efforts to avoid civilian casualties. Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi rejected the responsibility claim, questioning why Iran would attack its own school and asking if Iran initiated the conflict.
