The United States has launched an investigation into the attack on a school in Iran

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) is investigating the attack on a school in Iran, which killed students and teachers. This was announced on March 13 by the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth.

"This investigation will continue as long as it takes to review all the circumstances surrounding this incident," Hegseth said at a briefing broadcast by the Associated Press.

According to him, CENTCOM has appointed a military investigator to conduct the investigation. He clarified that this officer was not part of the command.

A word is not a deed: the United States will continue strikes on Iran, contrary to statements about the imminent peace

Why is Trump's rhetoric about ending the war at odds with the Pentagon's actions?

The attack on the elementary school for girls in Minaba was carried out on February 28, the day when the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran called "Epic Fury" by the Pentagon and "Roar of the Lion" by the Israeli side. At least 170 people, including minors, were killed in the incident. Tomahawk missiles were used for the attack. At the same time, NBC News reported on March 6 that representatives of the White House acknowledged the United States strikes in the school area. However, Washington's responsibility was not confirmed by the US Permanent Representative to the UN, Michael Waltz.

At the same time, US President Donald Trump hinted that Iran could buy American Tomahawk missiles from other countries and allegedly hit the school in Minaba on its own. Nevertheless, The New York Times blamed Washington for the attack, and The Washington Post made an artificial intelligence (AI) mistake in intelligence as the reason for the strike.
