US refuses to take responsibility for strike on Minab school

A top commander of US forces in the Middle East has avoided taking responsibility on Tuesday for an attack on a school in Iran that left 155 people, mostly children, dead on day one of the war, insisting a “complex” probe continues. Admiral Brad Cooper, the commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM), told a congressional oversight panel on Tuesday that “the school itself is located on an active IRGC cruise missile base,” making the investigation “more complex than the average strike.” The attack killed 73 boys, 47 girls, 26 teachers, seven parents, a school bus driver, and another adult in the southern city of Minab on February 28, according to Iranian state media. The United States has repeatedly avoided assuming responsibility for the tragedy. The New York Times has previously reported that the school was hit by a US Tomahawk cruise missile. CNN has also reported that the US was responsible for the attack.
