In a video published by Al Jazeera, a reporter confronts President Trump about a New York Times report revealing U.S. responsibility for the missile strike on a girls’ school in Minab, Iran – to which Trump responds:

I don’t know about it.

The strike killed around 175 primary school children in southern Iran on February 28th.

Trump does know about it

The Guardian reported that, according to the New York Times, the US military investigation has found that the strike on the elementary school building was the result of a targeting mistake by US military planners. The Guardian said:

According to the New York Times, quoting unnamed US officials and others familiar with the initial findings, the investigation has concluded that the strike on 28 February on the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school building was the result of a targeting mistake by the US military planners.

According to the report, the inquiry – which has yet to be completed – has found that officers at US Central Command created the target coordinates for the strike using obsolete data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency.

US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib responded forcefully to the confirmation of U.S. culpability, calling for Trump’s impeachment.

Initially, the accountability dodger-in-chief Trump had even tried to blame Tehran on March 7th, falsely asserting that Iran’s own missiles had struck the school.

UK culpability

Declassified UK has highlighted Britain’s role in the Minab school massacre, noting that key components of the Tomahawk missiles used in the strike were manufactured in Scotland:

Campaign Against Arms Trade also tore into the UK’s complicity:

For the children of Minab, for their families, for anyone watching: in the unaccountable US regime, run by the Epstein class, accountability seems far away while the habitual liar Trump will probably move on to his next falsehood.
