How Trump has addressed the deadly Iran school bombing
Al Jazeera
The US president denies knowledge of the findings that indicate the US military was behind the deadly strike amid calls for a probe.
The attack that killed more than 170 people, mostly children, in an elementary school in southern Iran has prompted anger and calls for an investigation in the United States.
But President Donald Trump has been giving contradicting answers about the incident over the past week. In early instances, he blamed Iran for the bombing. More recently, he has claimed that he does not know the details of the strike.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday that a preliminary Department of Defense investigation into the bombing found that the US military was behind the strike.
Asked whether he takes responsibility for the attack after the Times report, Trump once again said, “I don’t know about it.”
Days earlier, Trump had insisted that Iran bombed its own school in the southern city of Minab.
President Trump has told reporters that the US has destroyed Iran’s navy, anti-aircraft systems, radars and leadership.
