This tragic strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girlsâ school in Minab, Iran, killing 165-180 mostly innocent children, demands a full investigation.
Those who authorized strikes so close to civilians must be held accountable. We canât claim to protect people from the ayatollahs and regime dogs while hitting the same innocents.
If this probe stalls with no accountability, itâll prove all talk of protecting civilians was a hoax.

đ¨đşđ¸đŽđˇ BREAKING:
Multiple media outlets are confirming what Iran's been saying: A U.S. Tomahawk missile hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab.
Death toll: 165-180, mostly children aged 7-12.
Israel doesn't possess Tomahawk missiles. Only the United States does.
Also the school is in Southern Iran, a U.S. operational zone during the February 28 strikes (Israel was operating in the North)
The strike was double-tap: Hit once. School principal moved surviving students to the prayer hall and called parents to pick them up. Then they hit the prayer hall.
Most of the children who'd taken shelter were killed in the second strike.
Trump claimed it was Iran that bombed their own school. Bellingcat's geolocation and missile verification proves that's false.
Pentagon's now "investigating" but U.S. Central Command already told reporters it's "likely" U.S. forces were responsible.
The school was near an IRGC facility. 200 meters away according to satellite imagery.
And over a decade ago, it was part of the IRGC compound
Seems the U.S. made a very costly error, one that cost the lives of many children.
This is a perfect example of why wars are not always the best solution to dealing with criminal regimes, especially when the objective is regime change.
