Trump Defends Fatal Strike on Iranian School as Accidental

The Pentagon is currently conducting a high-level investigation into the February 28 incident, which occurred during the opening day of the conflict. While initial U.S. military assessments suggested American forces were likely responsible, the administration has yet to formally acknowledge those findings. Trump’s current stance marks a shift from his earlier, unsubstantiated claims that Iran was responsible for the destruction.

Central Command officials describe the inquiry as complex, citing the school’s proximity to a cruise missile base operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Sources familiar with the military’s targeting procedures suggest that the strike may have been triggered by the use of outdated intelligence. Despite the mounting evidence, Trump stated he would wait for the final results of the probe before drawing further conclusions about the operation.
