Trump blames Iran for school massacre despite reports suggesting otherwise

US President Trump denied responsibility for an air strike on a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran, which killed around 175 primary school children on the first day of the war, insisting the attack was carried out by Tehran despite mounting evidence and investigative reporting suggesting otherwise. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump claimed: "Based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran. Their weapons are very inaccurate. It was done by Iran." Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also denied the claim, saying "the only side that targets civilians is Iran." An in depth New York Times investigation claims that the school was likely struck during a US attack on a nearby Iranian military facility, raising serious questions about Trump’s dismissal of responsibility. Trump also deflected Iranian accusations that the US struck a desalination plant, and instead decided to make claims on Iranian atrocities. "The most evil people ever on Earth. They cut babies' heads off. They chop women in half," he said. Support stories that matter.
