U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced that two months after the deadly attack on a primary school in Minab, which resulted in the deaths of over 165 people, the incident is still under investigation.

These remarks were made in response to questions from Ro Khanna, a Democratic representative from California, who asked Austin about the human costs and repercussions of the attack. Austin described the event as a "tragic situation," emphasizing that no "cost or price" can be assigned to it.

Last month, Austin told reporters that the military had assigned one of the generals outside of Central Command (CENTCOM) to investigate the incident; however, he refrained from answering questions about the cause of the attack and reiterated that the United States does not target civilians.

Five former U.S. officials, including a senior military lawyer, have criticized the Pentagon for not acknowledging or denying the possibility of U.S. involvement in this deadly attack earlier this year. Some of these officials have stated that the failure to release even preliminary information after such a long time is unusual behavior. Over the past two months, the Pentagon has only stated that the incident is "under investigation."
