Trump Disputes US Role in Iran School Massacre Amid Cover-Up Fears

Standing in the Oval Office, the president claimed, "I don't think it was us," despite acknowledging he has not reviewed the final Pentagon report. The strike, which hit an elementary school during an operation targeting an adjacent military base, has prompted calls for accountability as four months pass without official answers. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the investigation is being taken seriously, though he provided no timeline for a public release.

Critics argue the administration is actively shielding the truth. Amnesty International USA labeled the delay a potential cover-up of a serious breach of international humanitarian law. Senator Mark Kelly echoed these concerns, telling reporters he expects the administration to classify the findings to avoid public scrutiny. Having previously attempted to blame Iran for the massacre and dismissing the event as a past mistake, Trump continues to maintain that the incident may never be formally resolved.
