Trump says Iran at fault for strike on girls school

Source: Politico

President Donald Trump on Saturday denied U.S. involvement in a strike that killed more than 165 people at a girls’ elementary school in Southern Iran, instead placing the blame on Iran.

When asked aboard Air Force One Saturday whether the U.S. conducted the Feb. 28 strike, Trump said, without evidence, “No, in my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, standing next to the president, took a more cautious tone, saying the government is still “investigating” the attack but adding, “The only side that targets civilians is Iran.”

Following Hegseth’s statement, Trump asserted: “It was done by Iran.”

Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school is in Minab, in the Hormozgan province in southern Iran.

An IRGC naval forces compound was in Minab.

This article reports:

The United States acknowledges targeting the IRGC naval forces base in Minab on 2/28/2026. The U.S. is operating warships in the Arabian Sea, including the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, within range of the school and IRGC naval forces compound.

Israel, which has denied conducting the strike, has focused on areas of Iran closer to Israel and hasn’t reported any strikes south of Isfahan, 800 kilometers (500 miles) away.

The NYTimes article (link below) compares a satellite image of Minab taken 5/14/2024 with an image taken 3/4/2026.It is clear that structures in the compound AND the school were destroyed.

It is ABSURD to keep denying this war crime. Our military has an obligation to know what was there before they bombed all the structures in and around the IRGC compound.

See the NYTimes before and after in this article (gift link):

The felon's regime started this war in violation of the UN Charter's prohibition on the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of another state. It is a "crime of aggression" under International Criminal Court definitions. They have struck civilian targets and infrastructure, which are war crimes.

Call your U.S. Rep and Senators. Every member of the House and Senate with a conscience must sign on to a statement clearly condemning the crimes being committed in our name.

Call on your municipal, county, and/or state government electeds to pass a resolution condemning these crimes.
