‘Iran capable of 6-month intense war’: IRGC warns US, Israel, says over 200 targets hit

U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Iran of bombing a school in the southern city of Minab, an attack he says killed at least 165 people. Trump claimed Tehran was responsible for the strike and rejected allegations that the United States was involved.

The incident refers to the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, which was destroyed during the early stages of the Iran war, with Iranian authorities reporting that more than 160 people, mostly schoolchildren, were killed.

Trump also said there is no indication that Russia is assisting Iran in the conflict. The U.S. president added that Washington wants a future Iranian leader who will not lead the country into war.

The remarks come as the war between the United States, Israel and Iran continues to escalate across the region.
