President Donald Trump has denied US responsibility for dropping a missile on a girls’ elementary school in Iran.
Last Saturday, February 28, the US and Israel engaged in a joint attack on the Middle Eastern country that saw them target military sites in the capital of Tehran, as well as other Iranian cities including Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, and Kermanshah.
Airstrikes were quickly successful in destroying the compound of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, killing him in the process. Trump and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu have claimed that their decision to launch a joint effort was driven by a desire to end totalitarian leadership in Iran, as well as stop their supposed efforts to obtain a nuclear weapon.
On the first day of the airstrikes, an all-girl’s elementary school in the city of Minab, was hit by drones. As per the BBC, the devastating attack killed 175 people inside the school, including 151 children between the ages of 7 and 12.
According to Politico, Iran formally blamed America and Israel for the attack, launching missiles of their own at troops across Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Cyprus.
