Iran Condemns US School Strike Claims as 'Baseless Fabrication'
Iran's foreign ministry denounced U.S. allegations of a school strike in Minab as a 'baseless fabrication' and an 'appalling lie.' The remarks came amid heightened diplomatic tensions between the two nations. The U.S. had accused Iran of orchestrating the strike, which disrupted education in the southern coastal city of Minab.
Iran's state news agency, Anadolu, reported that Tehran rejected the U.S. claim as a 'baseless fabrication,' accusing Washington of spreading false information. The Middle East Eye echoed this stance, with Tehran calling the U.S. statement a 'appalling lie.' The U.S. had previously issued a statement alleging that Iran was responsible for the strike, which left several students and teachers injured.
