Trump said he spoke to a former president about bombing Iran. Four denials suggest otherwise.

Trump said twice Monday that he spoke to one of his predecessors about the Iran war and that the former president said he wished he had taken the action Trump did.

UN seeking Iran access to investigate deadly school strikepublished at 04:06

A member of the United Nations Iran fact-finding mission says investigators are seeking access to the site of a deadly strike on a school carried out at the beginning of the conflict.

Max du Plessis says the UN has credible reports at least 168 people were killed in the strike, in Minab in southern Iran, and the majority were female students - many as young as seven-years-old.

Du Plessis says the UN is trying to find out who is responsible, what the reason for the attack was, and what the legal consequences, "if any", may be.

"We're in the early stage of the investigation," he says.

The US is carrying out its own investigation into the strike, and du Plessis says while the team hasn't yet spoken to anyone from the US, they would welcome any information provided, though stresses the UN's "independent" obligation to determine the facts.

"We've requested access to Iran and we'll continue to seek that access," he says.
