      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;US President &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/donald-trump/"&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt; said on Wednesday that it may never be known who was at fault for a ​deadly strike on a girls’ school in Iran on February ‌28, the first day of the &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/iran/"&gt;Iran war&lt;/a&gt;, that killed scores of children.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reuters &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-investigation-points-likely-us-responsibility-iran-school-strike-sources-say-2026-03-06/"&gt;first reported&lt;/a&gt; in March that an initial internal US military investigation showed US forces were likely responsible ​for the fatal strike in Minab in southern Iran.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Pentagon ​has since elevated the probe, but it has not acknowledged any ⁠preliminary findings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I don’t know that they are ever going to solve ​that problem,” Trump told reporters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I don’t know that they are ever going to ​solve that problem in terms of whose fault was it because there were missiles flying all over the place, and it’s horrible what happened, but there were missiles flying ​all over the place,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Somebody said it was our missile, maybe ​it wasn’t our missile, but I have seen nothing to lead me to believe ‌it ⁠was,” Trump remarked, adding: “I don’t think it was us.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The strike on February 28, when the US and Israel attacked Iran, killed more than 175 children and teachers, according to Iranian officials.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The strike &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-may-have-struck-iranian-girls-school-after-using-outdated-targeting-data-2026-03-11/"&gt;may be the result&lt;/a&gt; of US use ​of outdated targeting ​data, sources familiar ⁠with the matter told Reuters in March.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deliberately attacking a school would likely be a war crime under international humanitarian ​law.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US officials have publicly said Washington &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us-says-it-wouldnt-deliberately-target-school-after-iran-said-over-160-killed-2026-03-02/"&gt;would not deliberately ​target&lt;/a&gt; a ⁠school.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The strike caused global outrage. The UN human rights office called it “absolutely horrific.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump initially claimed, without evidence, that Iran was responsible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He has &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-says-nobody-attacked-iran-girls-school-on-purpose-2026-06-17/"&gt;since said&lt;/a&gt; he does not ⁠know ​enough about the strike, that an investigation ​is ongoing, that he will accept the results of the inquiry and that “nobody” purposefully attacked the ​school.&lt;/p&gt;
