The White House has responded to reports claiming that a U.S. airstrike hit a girls’ elementary school in Iran’s Minab region, allegedly killing 175 people. During a tense exchange with reporters, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the United States has no confirmation that American forces carried out the strike, adding that the Department of Defense is currently investigating the incident. Leavitt strongly rejected accusations that the U.S. military deliberately targets civilians, stating that the United States Armed Forces do not strike civilian infrastructure. She also accused the Iranian regime of spreading propaganda and targeting civilians during the ongoing regional conflict. The incident comes amid a rapidly escalating war between the United States, Israel, and Iran, with missile attacks, drone strikes, and military operations spreading across the Middle East. As global tensions rise, questions are growing about civilian casualties and the humanitarian impact of the conflict.
