Trump Says 'Nobody' Attacked Iranian Girls' School 'on Purpose'
- On Wednesday at the G7 Summit in France, President Donald Trump dismissed a reporter's question about accountability for the February 28 bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, which killed 156 people, including at least 120 children.
- A preliminary Pentagon probe and international investigations confirmed the United States was responsible for the strike, which used a 'triple-tap' tactic targeting survivors and rescue workers.
- When asked about accountability, Trump replied, "It's such a strange question to be asked at this date," adding "Nobody did that on purpose." He later stated, "Mistakes were made, and war is nasty."
- Law professor Corey Rayburn Yung posted on Bluesky that Trump had the "audacity" to dismiss the slaughter of 168 children as "a long time ago," while civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill posted, "Wow."
- Trump's refusal to pursue accountability mirrors his first-term "war of annihilation" policy, prompting experts to compare the strike to the 1968 My Lai massacre where US troops killed 504 unarmed villagers.
