U.S. President Donald Trump stated he has seen no evidence suggesting the United States was responsible for the missile strike that hit an Iranian primary school on February 28, the first day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Speaking to reporters, Trump described the incident as "horrible" but said, "I've seen nothing to lead me to believe it was us." His comments came after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the findings of a Pentagon investigation into the strike would be released "when the appropriate time is right."
