Trump Blames Iran Over School Attack
Meanwhile, Donald Trump on Saturday blamed Iran for what authorities described as a deadly strike on a school in Minab, a southern county of Iran.

Iranian officials said the strike hit a girls’ elementary school last Saturday, killing more than 150 people, most of them students. Neither Israel nor the United States has claimed responsibility for the reported attack.
In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Friday that it had targeted the Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates with drones and precision missiles, alleging that the base had been used as a launch point for the school strike.
