In recent statements, former President Donald Trump addressed a tragic incident involving an attack on a girls' school in southern Iran, which coincided with the onset of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Trump explicitly accused the Iranian government of responsibility for the bombing that resulted in approximately 180 casualties. His comments arose during a press interaction at Dover Air Force Base, where he was receiving the remains of American soldiers killed in the conflict.

During the exchange, a reporter questioned whether the United States had conducted the bombing, to which Trump promptly denied any U.S. involvement while firmly placing the blame on Iran. He stated, 'In my opinion and according to what I saw, it was done by Iran.' This assertion reflects Trump's long-standing critical stance toward Iran and adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing narratives surrounding the military conflict in the region. Furthermore, Trump emphasized concerns over Iran's precision in military operations, suggesting that their attacks are indiscriminate.

The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, who was also questioned about the incident, took a slightly more cautious tone, indicating that investigations were still underway. However, he also highlighted that Iran is the only party known to attack civilians. This dialogue underscores the contentious political climate surrounding American-Iranian relations and emphasizes the gravity of the situation in which civilians are caught amid escalating hostilities.
