Iran rejects US claims regarding blast at Minab girls’ school

Iran has strongly rejected United States claims regarding a blast at a girls’ school in the Minab region. Tehran denied the US narrative, position, and explanation for the incident, specifically rejecting the claim that the school was near a military facility or missile base. Iran has called the incident a war crime. The US statement and claims of justification have sparked a new controversy.

A US military investigation into the blast is underway, which US CENTCOM Chief Brad Cooper has described as complicated and nearing its conclusion. Cooper is facing tough questions in Congress over the attack, and his silence has also raised questions in the investigation, representing a setback for the war chief. The United States has been accused of again avoiding responsibility for the attack on the school, which has been described as a missile attack.
