Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) issued an apology on behalf of the United States for the airstrike on an Iranian girls' school, which local officials claim resulted in the deaths of 175 students and teachers. This apology came after President Trump suggested that the tragedy may have been caused by an accidental misfire from Iran.
Kennedy expressed regret for the incident, stating, "It was terrible. We made a mistake." He emphasized that such actions are not intentional in the United States, unlike in other countries like Russia. Kennedy mentioned that the incident is currently being investigated and conveyed his apologies, saying, "I'm just so sorry it happened. It was a mistake."
President Trump, during a press conference, indicated uncertainty regarding the US military's involvement in the school bombing on the first day of the conflict. He pointed out that a video seemed to show a Tomahawk missile striking the area near an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps building. Trump noted that Tomahawk missiles are used by various countries and refrained from directly accusing Iran of the attack, stating, "I just don't know enough about it."
The President mentioned that the incident is under investigation and emphasized that Tomahawk missiles are utilized by multiple nations. He expressed readiness to accept the findings of the investigation. Trump previously attributed the attack to Iran, citing their alleged lack of accuracy with munitions.
Iranian officials reported that 175 students and teachers lost their lives in the explosion at the school in Minab, located near the Strait of Hormuz. Both Kennedy's office and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comments on the matter.
