U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed ​their investigation, two U.S. officials told Reuters.

Reuters was unable to determine more details about the investigation, including what evidence ‌contributed to the tentative assessment, what type of munition was used, who was responsible or why the U.S. might have struck the school.

        Iran has bombed like every country around itself, yes they were US military bases and the like, but do you really think it would suddenly attack its own girl school to get help from those countries? Israel has a track record of targeting schools and hospitals, so it’s their MO, but it seems like this may have been a US airstrike. Again, not the first time US does something like that in middle east. Jim Carey got famous for his drawing of a school bus being bombed by US. And there were also weddings targeted with US bombs.

          Several European Allies have been asked and refused to provide support including logistics support to the Trump admin, UNESCO is calling for investigations, if Iranian leadership planned this then their plan has worked very well for them. As you said, Iran has a track record of disregarding human life, a few weeks ago it was all over the news that they were massacring civilians protesting the famine.

          Or it could be Israeli malice or an American fuckup, or maybe even Trump signing off on it himself, but I’m not gonna say anything is certain.

            The refusal is not because of the “bombing a school” specifically, it’s about the “starting a war to cover pedophiles” thing
