Trump Questions US Role in Iran School Strike Investigation
Trump said an investigation is still open after a strike killed more than 175 children and teachers, and preliminary reporting points to possible U.S. responsibility.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump questioned US responsibility for the fatal Iranian school strike, stating he had "seen nothing to lead me to believe it was" a US missile.
- The Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran, was struck on February 28 during US-Israeli missile strikes, killing 175 children and drawing widespread international condemnation.
- Verified footage shows a Tomahawk missile hitting the building, a weapon used by the United States, Australia, Japan, and the Netherlands, complicating accountability in the ongoing Pentagon investigation.
- These remarks mark a departure from the administration's pledge last week to respect the investigation's outcome, though Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth maintains findings will be released "when the appropriate time is right."
- Preliminary findings reported in March suggested American forces were likely responsible, though Trump argued the school may have been hit amid other missile exchanges, and initial inquiries revealed the building housed the IRGC.
