U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed ​their investigation, two U.S. officials told Reuters.

Reuters was unable to determine more details about the investigation, including what evidence ‌contributed to the tentative assessment, what type of munition was used, who was responsible or why the U.S. might have struck the school.

      US has longstanding tradition of protecting themselves, and of course bibi, from such options. This evil, and head of state assassination, was entirely intentional in order to ensure Iranians were more united to fight longer, and no option for ceasefire would exist. The ever more desperate shifts from reality in Trump demands seems like worrisome dementia or Israel handling inconsiderate of US sustainability.
