“It Was Done by Iran” — Trump Pushes Back on Claim U.S. B*mbed Elementary School

During a press exchange, a reporter asked Donald Trump whether the United States had bombed an elementary school and killed civilians. Trump pushed back on the claim, saying that based on the information he had seen, the attack was carried out by Iran, not the U.S. Standing nearby, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said officials are still investigating the incident to determine exactly what happened. Trump added that Iran’s military has a history of inaccurate munitions, suggesting that could explain the reported civilian casualties. The exchange quickly sparked intense debate online, with supporters saying the question reflects the fog of war and competing narratives during conflicts, while critics argue the situation highlights the importance of clear verification before assigning blame. As investigations continue, the incident has become another flashpoint in the escalating tensions surrounding the conflict — and a reminder of how quickly information and accusations can spread during wartime.
