The school strike Washington won't own: Trump, the February 28 missile, and the limits of self-investigation
A $30 billion settlement has moved through Washington. The missile that flattened a girls' school in Minab on February 28 still has no independent investigator. The two clocks are not running in the same direction.

Desk note: Monexus framed this piece around the asymmetry between the financial settlement moving through the Trump administration and the unresolved accountability question for the war's deadliest opening-day strike. Western wires carry the on-record presidential statements; the financial framework comes via a markets account citing the president directly. Iranian official sources on the strike itself are not in the on-record material; we have not invented them.
