On February 28, the girls’ school, Shajareh Tayyebeh, located in the city of Minab, Iran, was bombed by the United States. The blast destroyed the two-storey building, causing the roof to collapse on students and teachers inside.
At least 170 people, most of them children, were killed. Dozens of others were injured.
While Iran immediately attributed the strike to the US-Israel coalition, both nations denied responsibility.
Satellite images showed the school intact earlier that morning. US and Israeli air raids had begun across Minab and other parts of Hormozgan that morning.
Footage from the scene suggests the school was likely hit by a Tomahawk missile.
“Based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran,” Trump said on Saturday. “We think it was done by Iran because they are very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever. It was done by Iran.”
Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, was standing behind Trump at the time. He declined to endorse Trump’s assessment and instead reiterated that the Pentagon was investigating the incident.
However, The New York Times reported on Wednesday that the school was hit by a US Tomahawk missile because of a targeting error. The newspaper, citing US officials, said the investigation was ongoing, but preliminary findings indicated the US was responsible.
At this point, I don’t know what’s worse: the totalitarian theocratic regime, or the United States and Israel killing as many people as they can.
By the way, I do not see people from Free Palestine talking about this war. What happens? Isn’t it popular enough?
