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.

    Trump killed school girls

    Let’s not forget who specifically ordered this war to be started. All headlines should start with Trump ordered children to be murdered or Trump is getting people killed or Trump has raised oil prices and people are beginning to starve or Trump closed off shipping lanes

      No thanks.

      The US did this. This began in like 1908. Trump wasn’t even born yet. The USA is an evil empire and needs to be ripped out root and branch. Capitalism has to go.

      None of this will be fixed without a revolution so bloody Mao would be uncomfortable and the glassing of Israel.

      Yes, but don’t give the soldiers that pulled the trigger a pass. They’re legally required to not follow illegal orders. All of them should be court marshalled and charged with war crimes.

        For what? How could they possibly know that it was a school? They aren’t privy to the intel. They are on a boat or a base, maybe hundreds of miles away. They receive an order to fire on a location and follow the order.

        That’s exactly what they signed up for. Grunt work. Following orders.

          Right. They don’t know anything at all about what they’re shooting at all because it’s abstract and viewed through computer screen.

          However they do know that the these orders are coming down from three possible sources. 1. Targeting specialists using enshitified useless AI services. 2. Chatbots themselves or 3. Child raping genocide mongers.

          Which why they just shouldn’t do it. Go to the brig. Sabotage the missile with a fork lift accident. Fake illness. Anything. I don’t care, do whatever you have to do to not be party to this monstrous thing that’s trying to burn the world down so Jesus will come back. And that’s why they are still responsible for it.

          I rephrased in a follow up to someone else’s comment. The people that ordered the strike on old Intel should be charged. There were failures in the process, and those responsible should be held responsible.

          If you were to throw a rock or fire a bullet, you are expected to LOOK where that projectile is going. You are held accountable for that action even if you miss your target. Only a child is deemed unaccountable for that sort action (up to about age 2). This is magnitudes more important when the missile explodes in a radius the size of a house. So there’s NO EXCUSE for the grunt on any level who pushes the button, and doesn’t LOOK or know where it is going. Are you saying military grunts are to tried as toodlers?!? for the crimes they commit?

            They weren’t throwing rocks. They weren’t shooting a rifle. They were shooting missiles.

            Again, the soldier who fired that missile would have no idea what sort of building he’s been ordered to strike. That soldier is sitting in a command center somewhere, miles away from the front line, feeding coordinates into a targeting system.

            And, yes, grunts are usually treated EXACTLY like toddlers, especially in military court. That’s why they’re called “grunts”. They are trained to follow orders. They are trained to push the button without question. THAT’S THEIR JOB.

            Now, if a grunt is given an order which directly violates the military law, they can refuse. So, if their commanding officer said “Hey, I want you to kill those 170 underage civilians”, then the grunt can (and should) say “Hell no, sir”. That wasn’t the case here. There’s no reason for the grunt to refuse the order, because the grunt is just targeting a building, with a missile.

              Nuremberg defense. They were just following orders. I hope they learn what they did. That’s enough for anybody to unalive themselves.

        It’s unclear to me whether they would have known about this. I presume cross checking the targets should be done at each level down to the person pulling the trigger.

        Is it confirmed that everyone in the chain knew?

          Compartmentalization. They get told “here is an Iranian military target, hit it”. So they do. Asking questions is strongly discouraged.

          I suppose I don’t know. I should rephrase that whoever knew and ordered it should be in the hot seat. Word is that it was old target data they were going on. That by itself is a failure if true, which isn’t excusable. I’d be interested in when that school was built or transitioned to a school and the age of the data. This may be the result of a pedophile and his hair trigger war drive that meant due diligence wasn’t done.

      Yes indeed -

      Axios: President Trump told in a phone interview Wednesday that the war with Iran will end “soon” because there is “practically nothing left” to target. “Little this and that. Any time I want it to end, it will end,” Trump said

      Although i doubt that all this totally up to him and more like trying to be the tough guy he always wants to be

        It’s totally up to him, notwithstanding what people he talks to and Fox News tell him what to think.
        He is surrounded by yes men who actually tried to dissuade him from attacking Iran, but still support his every demented decision.

          Nobody wants to do this. It’s only him. /s

          There is a thing called impeachment. Trump gave enough causes. It’s the majority of the US elite who wants this war or they would remove him.

          Unfortunately, it’s not entirely up to Trump. Iran isn’t going to back down just because Trump is all* “Oh, jk, lol!” *

          160 Iranian schoolgirls were killed by an American missile strike. Trump is still in denial. How do you suppose that sits with the Iranian people?

      He’s a piece of shit everyone already knows it. I think less talk about him is better. He’s a tool of the party, this doesn’t end with him.
