Trump: ' Wasn't Our Missile' After Deadly Attack on Iran Girls' School
On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump cast doubt on whether full truth behind the deadly February 28 strike on a girls' school in Minab, Iran—which killed scores of children on the first day of the Iran war—would ever be known.
"I don't know that they are ever going to solve that problem in terms of whose fault it was because there were missiles flying all over the place," Trump told reporters, according to Reuters. "It's horrible what happened, there were missiles flying all over the place."
He went on to question US involvement in the attack, stating: "Somebody said it was our missile. Maybe it wasn't our missile, but I have seen nothing to lead me to believe it was. I don't think it was us."
The remarks mark a significant shift in tone from just ten days earlier, when Trump acknowledged that the Minab school strike was a "mistake" and not intentional. Prior to that, he had claimed— providing no evidence—that Iran itself was responsible for the attack.
However, reports from March revealed that an initial internal US military investigation had already indicated that US forces were likely responsible for the fatal strike in Minab, a city in southern Iran.
