Trump dismisses intent behind fatal strike on Iranian girls' school

Mistakes happen in war, Donald Trump remarked Wednesday, suggesting that no one deliberately targeted a girls' school in Iran during a February strike. Speaking at the G7 summit in France, the President pivoted from his earlier accusations against Tehran, stating that the incident remains under active investigation.

Trump dismisses intent behind fatal strike on Iranian girls' school

The February 28 strike resulted in the deaths of over 175 children and teachers, according to Iranian authorities. While Trump initially blamed Iran for the tragedy, he has since moderated his stance, promising to accept the findings of an ongoing military inquiry. The Pentagon has elevated the probe since reports emerged that U.S. forces were likely responsible for the attack in Minab.

Central Command officials describe the investigation as complex, citing the school's proximity to an active Iranian cruise missile base. Despite the technical challenges, the military review is nearing its conclusion. Trump’s latest comments signal a shift toward a wait-and-see approach as the administration faces scrutiny over the high civilian toll of the strike.
