Political analysts and observers were outraged on Thursday after an investigation determined that the U.S. was likely responsible for a Feb. 28 strike on a girls' school in Iran that killed 175 civilians, many of whom were children.

The New York Times reported on Thursday that the strike on the girls' school in Minab was "severely damaged" around the same time that U.S. forces were conducting an attack against an "adjacent naval base operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps." The Times added that "official statements ... suggest they were most likely to have carried out the strike."

"In the several days since the attack, U.S. officials have neither confirmed nor denied responsibility," according to the report. "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."

"U.S. officials in public statements have indicated that on the day in question, U.S. planes were conducting operations in the region where the school was located," it added.

Political analysts and observers expressed outrage on social media.

"It is unconscionable that there has still been no attempt by either the US or Israel to account, let alone apologise, for the killing last Saturday of more than 150 people at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' school in Minab, southern Iran," Peter Westmacott, former British Ambassador to Turkey, posted on X.

2. TRUMP SNUFF

3. So I was reading a book that was part

autobiography and the author had been an experienced, advanced pilot in the IDF. He recounted a story where a mission he had led caused the bombing and death of two civilians. He was beside himself. The second de-briefing was held after all of the evidence had been combed through. The auditorium had dozens of pilots for all of them to learn from the event. They spent hours talking about how not to bomb civilians in another country.

I bet Kegsbreath hasn't batted an eye over this monstrous assault, and nothing will be done about because I bet they are going to sweep it under the rug.

4. This is a hideous crime against humanity and demands accountability.

Bibi and Trump and his circle are mad with uncheked power, and have a mutual hatred of what actually is another Abrahamic religion.

Everyone who enabled these murderous tyrants and who continues to do so EQUALLY has blood on their hands.

5. Early reports said Israeli air strike
