On March 7, Xinhua News Agency reported from Washington that U.S. President Trump stated on the 7th that he has ruled out the possibility of Kurdish forces participating in military actions against Iran.

On that day, Trump told the media aboard Air Force One that he did not want to complicate the conflict further, saying, "This war is complicated enough; there is no need to involve the Kurds."

According to a report by the Washington Post on the 5th, citing multiple informed sources, Trump stated during a call with Kurdish leaders from Iran and Iraq that he would provide "extensive U.S. air cover" and other support to help "anti-government Iranian Kurds occupy parts of western Iran."

When asked about the attack on a primary school in southern Iran on February 28, Trump claimed, "This was done by Iran," and stated that Iran's munitions attack was "very inaccurate."

CNN, in related reports, pointed out that analyses from numerous media outlets and experts, including CNN, suggest that the U.S. military is likely responsible for the aforementioned incident, which contradicts Trump's statements.

On February 28, a primary school in the city of Minab in southern Iran was attacked, resulting in at least 165 fatalities, most of whom were around 10 years old and were young girls.
