Trump casts doubt on US responsibility for deadly Iran school strike

Trump casts doubt on US responsibility for deadly Iran school strike US President Donald Trump has said he has seen no evidence suggesting the United States was responsible for the missile strike that hit an Iranian primary school on 28 February, the first day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Speaking to reporters, Trump described the incident as "horrible" but said: "I've seen nothing to lead me to believe it was us." His comments came after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the findings of a Pentagon investigation into the strike would be released "when the appropriate time is right". Trump suggested it may be difficult to determine responsibility for the attack, saying: "I don't know that they're ever going to solve that problem in terms of whose fault was it, because there were missiles flying all over the place."
