Video Shows U.S. Missile Struck Iranian Girls’ School, Killing 175, Contradicting Trump’s Denials

The Iranian Red Crescent Society reports that 10,000 civilian structures have been damaged across Iran in U.S. and Israeli strikes, including homes, schools and almost three dozen medical facilities. Among the dead are 175 people — most of them children — killed when bombs struck a girls’ school in the southern city of Minab on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli attacks. On Saturday, President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied the U.S. was responsible for bombing the girls’ school. They spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One. Reporter: “Did the United States bomb a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran on the first day of the war and kill 175 people?” President Donald Trump: “No, in my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran.” Reporter: “Is that true, Mr. Hegseth, that it was Iran who did that?” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: “We’re certainly investigating.” Reporter: “Still investigating?” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: “But the only — the only side that targets civilians is Iran.” President Donald Trump: “We think it was done — we think it was done by Iran.” A New York Times investigation found direct video evidence contradicting Trump’s claims. The video shows a U.S. Tomahawk missile damaged the school at the same time as a U.S. attack on an adjacent naval base operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
