US investigators 'say American strike most likely responsible' for Iranian school massacre Submitted by Alex MacDonald on Fri, 03/06/2026 - 09:02 New York Times investigation also suggests United States most likely behind air strike that killed at least 165 in city of Minab Mourners prepare the coffins of children who were killed in a strike on a primary school in Iran’s Hormozgan province for a funeral in Minab on 3 March 2026 (Amirhossein Khorgooei/ISNA/AFP) Off US investigators probing an attack on a school in Iran that killed 165 people believe it is most likely that the United States military was responsible for the strike. Two US officials told Reuters that they were still looking into Saturday's attack in the city of Minab, which Middle East Eye revealed was a "double-tap" strike that killed scores of young girls and boys, and not reached a final conclusion. While they said further evidence could potentially emerge exonerating the US, their initial findings chime with a number of other reports on the incident.
