US EditionUS investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say
U.S. military is investigating a strike on a girls' elementary school in Minab that killed scores of children during coordinated attacks with Israel, with no final conclusion yet.
- On Saturday, U.S. military investigators said U.S. forces are likely responsible for an apparent strike on a girls' school in Minab, southern Iran, during the first day of coordinated attacks.
- The U.N. human rights office on Monday called for an investigation and said the onus is on the forces that carried out the attack, with U.S. and Israeli operations dividing targets geographically.
- The Pentagon referred Reuters to U.S. Central Command, saying comment was inappropriate while the investigation remains ongoing.
- On Tuesday, girls' funeral images showed small coffins draped with Iranian flags, with Iran's ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva claiming 150 victims, Reuters could not confirm.
- Such a finding would implicate international humanitarian law; the Department of War is investigating, while the Iranian regime targets civilians, not the U.S., according to Leavitt.
