Credit: Majid-Asgaripour/WANA/REUTERSU.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday it may never be known who was at fault for a deadly strike on a girls' school in Iran on February 28, the first day of the Iran war, that killed scores of children.Reuters first ‌reported in March that an initial internal U.S. military investigation showed U.S. forces were likely responsible for the fatal strike in Minab in southern Iran. The Pentagon has since elevated the probe but it has not acknowledged any preliminary findings."I don't know that they are ever going to solve that problem," Trump told reporters."I don't know that they are ever going to solve that problem in terms of whose fault was it because there were missiles flying all over the place, and it's horrible what happened but there were missiles flying all over the place," he said."Somebody said it was our missile, maybe it wasn't our missile but I have seen nothing to lead me to believe it was," Trump remarked, adding: "I don't think it was us."8 minutes agoTrump says he asked Erdoğan to keep Turkey out of Iran war, signals possible F-35 saleU.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Turkey stayed out of the recent U.S.-Iran war after he personally asked President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan not to intervene."I like him, he's a friend of mine. He stayed out of the war… I asked him to stay out and he stayed out," Trump said, adding that Erdoğan "was a prime candidate to go into the war – maybe on the Iran side because he's not a friend of Israel."Trump praised Erdoğan as a "respected leader" and a "strong man," saying, "Everything I've ever asked from him he has done."Trump also signaled he could move ahead with a potential sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, a NATO member. "He's a member of NATO. I'm probably going to do something that's going to make him very happy… people don't know how big Turkey is in terms of the military," Trump said.He added that he plans to travel to Turkey next month for a NATO summit following an invitation from Erdoğan. "He called me up and said please you've got to be there, so I'm going out of respect to President Erdoğan," Trump said.RECAP: Israeli contractor dies in Gaza accident; IDF kills four in Lebanon, one in West BankHere are Wednesday's latest updates:■ Raad Abu al-Kiyan, a Bedouin Israeli contractor who worked as a bulldozer operator in Gaza, was killed in an accident after a building collapsed on the vehicle.■ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israeli military will not withdraw from the IDF-occupied buffer zone in southern Lebanon as long as he is in office.■ Two people were killed in a drone strike on a vehicle in Kfar Roummane, southern Lebanon.
