United States military researchers have indicated that it is likely the US bears responsibility for an attack on a girls' school located in Minab, Iran. This incident reportedly resulted in the deaths of more than a hundred children, with conflicting reports regarding the number of fatalities. The investigation into this attack is still ongoing, and no final conclusions have yet been drawn, according to two US military representatives interviewed by Reuters.

According to Iranian health authorities and state media, the tragic event took place at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school, resulting in the loss of at least 175 lives, primarily students. The figure mentioned by Iran's UN ambassador was reported to be around 150 students. In light of these developments, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday that an investigation into the incident has been initiated, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has vehemently denied any suggestion that the United States would intentionally target a school.

While the gravity of this situation is becoming increasingly apparent, the full details surrounding the evidence and the nature of the attack remain unclear. Reporters have faced challenges in obtaining concrete information regarding the ongoing investigation—raising concerns about the accountability and the potential ramifications of such an incident on US-Iran relations and global perceptions of military engagement in conflict zones.
