President Donald Trump stated that he does not believe the United States is responsible for a missile strike that hit an Iranian school this spring, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of school children. Trump has previously denied that an American missile was involved, and a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command confirmed that the investigation into the incident is ongoing. During an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Trump expressed skepticism about resolving the issue, stating, "It’s horrible what happened, but there were missiles flying all over the place, and somebody said it was our missile. Well, maybe it wasn’t our missile." He added that he has seen no evidence to suggest U.S. involvement, noting that there were many missiles being fired by other parties. War Secretary Pete Hegseth indicated that the Pentagon is taking the investigation seriously and will release findings at the appropriate time.
