Trump’s Remarks On Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday blamed Iran for what the country’s authorities said was a “deadly strike" on a school based in the Minab city.
“We think it was done by Iran. Because they are very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
According to Iranian authorities, a strike hit a girl’s school last week, killing over 150 people, with most of the deceased being students. The United States and Israel have not claimed responsibility for the attack.
The developments come as war between Israel and Iran entered its second week, with Jerusalem continuing to target multiple sites in Tehran.
Iran, on the other hand, continues to retaliate by targeting facilities linked to the United States and Israel across the Gulf.
