U.S. Investigators Probe Possible American Role in Iran School Strike

American investigators are examining the possibility that a strike on a primary school in southern Iran was carried out by U.S. Forces, according to two unnamed officials cited in reports.

Military experts reportedly consider the involvement of U.S. Armed forces in the attack on the girls' school to be likely, although final conclusions have not yet been reached and the investigation is ongoing.

Previous analysis suggested the strike on the educational institution could have been part of a U.S. Air Force operation targeting a nearby base belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy. This assessment was based on an independent review of satellite imagery.

The "Shajare Tayebe" school in Minab was attacked on February 28th—the same day a large-scale U.S. And Israeli military campaign against Iran began. The latest figures report 171 fatalities, with children making up the majority of the victims.

Tehran has called on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to condemn the assault. An official spokesperson for Russia's Foreign Ministry noted that Western media largely ignored information about the mass deaths of children and described the lack of reaction to the incident as "monstrous."

According to recent reports, six schools on Iranian territory have been attacked during the conflict.
