WASHINGTON D.C.: Multiple news outlets have reported that video, satellite images, and expert analysis suggest that the United States was likely responsible for the February 28 bombing of an Iranian school for young girls. This revelation contradicts President Donald Trump's claim that the deadly strike "was done by Iran," raising serious concerns about military operations in sensitive regions.

During a March 7 press briefing aboard Air Force One, President Trump stated unequivocally, “Based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran.” It was a stance not echoed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who indicated that investigations were underway while tacitly admitting the complexities of such military operations. “The only side that targets civilians is Iran,” Hegseth added, but the evidence now contradicts that narrative.

Eyewitness accounts from multiple aerial reports recount the attack coinciding with U.S. and Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian military installations under the operation dubbed Epic Fury. The bombing resulted in the loss of over 160 lives, primarily students, though those casualty figures require independent verification. Disturbingly, the location of the school was near an outdated Iranian naval base, suggesting that military intelligence may have played a role in the tragic error.

A video documented by Iran’s Mehr News Agency displays a missile striking near the school and appears to show U.S. Tomahawk missiles, which have been confirmed as part of the operations. As investigative experts weigh in, the data points toward the U.S. being the sole operator of these missiles in the ongoing conflict. Former U.S. Army technician Trevor Ball stated, “the footage appears to contradict President Donald Trump’s claim it was an Iranian missile that hit the school.”

Further complicating the narrative, Trump, during a press conference, maintained that Iran also possessed Tomahawk missiles, a statement refuted by intelligence experts who confirmed Iran does not have such capabilities. The issue highlights the serious risks associated with military engagements, especially in densely populated civilian areas.

As U.S. officials continue to investigate the incident and information flows, the world awaits clarity on the circumstances that led to this devastating event. With the ongoing investigation, White House spokespeople have emphasized the need for caution in asserting facts and have warned that premature claims could spread misinformation.
