NYT analysis: killing of school children most likely carried out by USA, not Iran

I�m very sad. What was the slogan during the Vietnam war about LBJ killing babies? We�re gonna have to replace a word here and there for the current situation:

Excerpt :

And official statements that U.S. forces were attacking naval targets near the Strait of Hormuz, where the I.R.G.C. base is located, suggest they were most likely to have carried out the strike.

I haven't heard any suggestion Iran was bombing itself.

From the article (competing liars discussing the allocation of blame between Israel and the US):

In the several days since the attack, U.S. officials have neither confirmed nor denied responsibility. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that an investigation was underway. Nadav Shoshani, an Israeli military spokesman, told reporters on Sunday that “as of now,” he was not aware of any Israeli military operation “in that area” at the time

So after checking your correct, and I don’t see them blaming Iran, except for a journalist in Fox News. So I deleted that part.
Israel just claimed they had no knowledge of it

Israel already said it was not them. Many believed it was the US.

My understanding is that they determined it was a double-tap strike on the school by either US or Israel (both of which are denying it)

of our own working drone, the US would have been my guess for prime suspect.

Duh...... they were alive till we invaded like barbarians.

They would be alive if we locked up felonious rapists instead of letting them occupy the highest office in the land.
