Iran Says Trump's Strikes Killed Dozens at Girls' School (43 killed plus 63 others wounded).

Iran Says Trump’s Strikes Killed Dozens at Girls’ School

https://www.thedailybeast.com/iran-says-trumps-strikes-killed-dozens-at-girls-school/

Trump’s new offensive on Iran has killed dozens of students from a girls’ elementary school, according to the country’s state news agency.

The U.S. and Israel launched combined attacks across Iran on Saturday morning after Trump had teased conflict in the region for months. A direct hit on the Shajareye Tayabeh girls’ school in Minab, Hormozgan Province, killed at least 43 students, with 63 others wounded, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

The school week in Iran runs from Saturday through Thursday. Students in Iranian elementary schools, which are known as Dabestan, are typically 6 to 12 years old.

IRNA reported that the strike that hit the school was launched by Israel. The operation was confirmed by Minab’s provincial governor, Mohammad Radmehr, IRNA added. Radmehr said rescue and aid operations were underway at the school.

I have a feeling it won't be so easy now. The Human Shields excuse for committing war crimes has I hope reached its best by date with the willfully gullible but of course not with the complicit! We shall see who is going to defend it now.

a single child in that video, no one carrying children away, nothing that supports the claim

On the upside, maybe Iran is now too busy to violently oppress women and execute people for being LGBTQ.

Sans child.

Will that do? Or should I find a pic of the rest of that mangled likely dead child? And if I do, will you call that fake news or say it's ONLY one child?

Ir happened and will continue to happen as long as there is denial, whitewashing and complicity. Have we learned nothing from Gaza??

They’ll justifiably turn their fury on us instead of their shitty govt.
