The US Permanent Representative to the UN, Michael Waltz, did not confirm the involvement of the United States in the attack on the school in Iran, but noted that tragic mistakes sometimes happen. He said this on March 8 in an interview with ABC News.

"The United States is doing everything possible to avoid civilian casualties. Of course, sometimes tragic mistakes happen," Waltz said.

He added that the Pentagon is investigating the incident, but did not confirm Washington's involvement in the tragedy.

The day before, American leader Donald Trump blamed Iran for the attack on a girls' school in the southern city of Minab. The same opinion was expressed by the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth. He made a statement that "only Iran strikes civilians."

On March 6, NBC News reported that representatives of the White House acknowledged the US strikes in the area of the girls' school in Minaba. The attack on an elementary school for girls took place on February 28, the day when the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran called "Lion's Roar."

The attacks on the educational institution, which killed at least 170 people, including minors, were carried out using Tomahawk missiles. The farewell ceremony for the dead schoolgirls, attended by thousands of people, took place on March 3.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
