The White House has rejected allegations that the United States was responsible for a strike on a girls' school in Iran, insisting that U.S. forces do not target civilians. Meanwhile, the Pentagon's investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
The response followed media reports alleging that U.S. military forces were involved in the strike on a school in Iran's Minab district. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the U.S. president is confident in the conduct of American forces and stressed that they "never target civilians or children." She declined to comment on the media investigation itself, saying she had not reviewed it, and referred further questions to the Pentagon.

According to Iranian authorities, 168 schoolgirls and 14 members of the school staff were killed in the attack. Iran has blamed the United States for the strike, while Washington has officially denied responsibility. The investigation is ongoing.
