US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of carrying out the bombing of a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran.
Responding to a reporter’s question on whether the United States had bombed the school on the first day of the war, killing 175 people, Trump said: “No, in my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran.”
The reporter then asked Pete Hegseth, who was accompanying Trump, whether that was true. Hegseth replied: “We are certainly investigating,” adding, “But the only side that targets civilians is Iran.”
Trump added: “We think it was done by Iran because they are very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever.”
Human Rights Watch has called for an investigation into the attack on the primary school, which killed at least 160 people, many of them schoolchildren, saying it should be examined as a possible war crime. (NewsWire)
