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.

    Yeah. We might bomb their schools and assassinate their leaders.

    Edit: On second thought… we didn’t bomb Saudi Arabia for 9/11.

      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.

      Of course that is the MAGA Hallmark: evil, selfish, AND stupid.

            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.

      Also isn’t it kind of funny that Iran had nothing to do with 9/11 and it was in fact Saudi Arabia and yet we keep peddling this trope about Iran…?
