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.

      The cruelty is the point. They’re just wanting to destroy key infrastructure and kill as many children as possible. We learned well from Israel.

        Exactly how does one bomb a country without cruelty? How is a school of girls any different than the rest of the country blown apart?

        Do we expect to end the war with images of dead puppies?

          Because the world is fucked up in killing adult civilians doesn’t get the moral outrage it should compared to children. Society is particularly more sensitive to children being directly attacked than it was a hundred years ago.
