Analyses and video evidence emerged over the weekend showing that the air strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls’ Primary School on February 28—that killed over 160 girls aged 7 to 12—was carried out by the US military.

The girls’ school in Minab is in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province close to the Persian Gulf. The school was effectively pulverized by multiple blasts, and many of those killed were obliterated and could only be identified through DNA analysis. Footage showed bodies and body parts partially trapped under collapsed floors, alongside scattered schoolbags, notebooks and dust‑covered textbooks.

    Those missiles could have gone to Ukraine to defend against russian tanks, but for some reason the current US administration said we couldn’t afford it…

        They also didn’t bother to consider maybe they might need some anti-drone technology before invading the country that manufacturers russia’s drones. You know, like that laser in arizona that shot down a party balloon or something…

    The US must demand the heads of whichever evil shits did this. Not the people who were instructed, the people who made the decisions.

    EDIT I’ve been convinced by some of the arguments and then re-reading history about Nazi Germany through to Colonel Oliver North. The people who physically pull the trigger can, in a hearing, be allowed to explain why they pull that trigger. I would imagine that this buries the people making the decisions higher than their neck.

        Like the 100 million alleged victims of communism when literally the only source of theirs (the black book of communism) doesn’t even say that… And they sometimes even say it is 200 million with zero evidence.

      Google? What say you?

      Based on reports from early 2026, there have been allegations and estimates suggesting a high death toll during crackdowns on protests in Iran, with some sources, including reports cited by TIME magazine, indicating that over 30,000 people may have been killed by security services on Jan. 8 and 9, 2026. However, this figure is highly disputed and the subject of intense media contention:

      High Estimates: Reports from Iranian interior ministry sources and TIME suggested over 30,000 deaths in a massive, rapid crackdown, with bodies reportedly transported in trucks and the exhaustion of body bags.

      Government Denials: The Iranian Foreign Ministry has dismissed reports of a 30,000+ death toll as a “Hitler-style BIG LIE”.

      Official Figures: The Iranian government has acknowledged a much lower death toll of 3,117, claiming this number includes civilians, security forces, and those they termed “terrorists”.

      Other Estimates: Other reports have indicated varied, yet still high, estimates, including over 16,500 dead, 7,000 killed according to activists, or a lower figure of around 1,300, as reported in other updates during that volatile period.

          “Thanks to our boys in blue and having access to a BGM-109 Tomahawk. The police were able to neutralize the shooter with no injuries to our brave officers. Our initial investigation shows that all the children were dead before the Tomahawk hit the target. This is contrary to eye witness reports who are falsely claiming that all the school children were alive. As a city, we are going to continue to purchase discounted US military equipment to protect our beloved citizens.”

        Yeah, that’s the fun thing about doing the worst shit you can think of on the first day, doesn’t really give you any options after that. We can really threaten Iran with actually we haven’t done.

              How about causing lingering pain and suffering on a populace, including children. Theyre not dead (yet) but they suffer for as long as possible until they do.

              Like Gaza.

              It is anti christian to attack the family of the person you want to kill. That was a founding principle of christianity, to end blood feuds.

                Christianity was founded because it made it easy for rulers to control their population because they could make people accept a miserable and short life in exchange for intangible rewards later. It is not hard to figure out who benefits from a religious concept that nothing that happens to you in reality is important.

                  First they tried to suppress christianity, they couldn’t keep the crazies at bay so they rewrote it to be a better slave religion, cherrypicking biblical texts to include in the Bible.

                  That it promised to end blood feuds is also true, even if the birthplace of christianity in europe has long been the most famous for such blood feuds.

      Given the fact that the rape of more than 1,000 young girls by Epstein and his billionaire friends had no consequences whatsoever, and that the cold-blooded murder of these innocent Iranian schoolgirls, which is part of the US regime’s cover-up efforts, also has no consequences for those responsible, I would say that the US response would probably be to elevate the culprits to government office.
