A scene of devastation in Minab, Iran, as parents waited to know the fate of their young daughters after the bombing of a girls' elementary school killed over 100.
There is no justification — military, strategic, or political — that can explain away the image of a bombed elementary school filled with seven-year-olds. When over 100 girls are killed in their classroom, we are no longer talking about “precision strikes” or “deterrence.” We are talking about children buried under concrete.
If this strike was carried out by the United States or by Israel — whether ordered by Donald Trump or by Benjamin Netanyahu — then the world deserves transparency and accountability. Being adjacent to an IRGC facility does not erase the laws of war. International humanitarian law is clear: civilian objects, especially schools, are protected. When half the students in a school are killed, something has gone catastrophically wrong.
What stands out most in this reporting is not geopolitics, but the fathers waiting silently for their daughters’ names to be called. A crushed backpack. A memorized Quran never recited in competition. A six-year-old who “knew nothing of politics or wars.”
Wars are launched by leaders. The dead are almost always children, civilians, ordinary families.
If the United States claims to stand for human rights, it must support an independent international investigation and publicly release targeting information. Anything less sends the message that some children’s lives matter less than others.
No parent — in Minab, Gaza, Tel Aviv, or anywhere — should have to wait outside rubble for their child’s body.
If we cannot say that clearly and without hesitation, we have lost more than a building.
Yes, we have lost more than a building! America, in the eyes of the world, is a cruel land, ruled by people who don’t give a shit. They don’t even care about their own kids! They send murderers into their streets and stick 2 and 5 year olds into concentration camps!
That is the picture the world sees of US! Sleep with that if you can!
Our politicians should reflect long and hard on those young girls’ deaths before racing to genuflect before the US. Oh. Too late, they have all wet themselves in the rush to support the illegal killing of innocents. Shame on you all. You don’t “ liberate “ a people by destroying flesh, animals, farms, towns, cities, roads, water, the essentials of life. Shame on you all. Our country is now supporting another illegal, immoral, brutal and totally inhumane war in the name of supporting two so called democratic nations that in reality are apartheid oppressors. History will view us as complicit and morally bankrupt. God help all the innocent, for sure He is not looking kindly on us.
Thank you for revealing the human cost of this misbegotten war. This brings to mind words from "Masters of War" that Dylan wrote more than 60 years ago.
Herewith a few select stanzas from that great poem/song:
"Seyyed Ibrahim Mirkhayali, a municipal employee from Bandar Abbas, was also at the school gate. His nine-year-old daughter, Zeinab, a fourth-grade student, was killed in the bombing."
A fourth-grade student. Murdered by the US and Israel. The "Western" world, whatever that even eludes to anymore, cheers this on. So do the traitors of **Royal** Arabia.
Fellow Americans, I don't know whether we'll have an election this fall or not. I am presently more concerned that we will have no one worth voting **for**. This is by design when we allow our government to be bought by a foreign nation. **Any** foreign nation.
Yes, Israel bombs schools and maims children — this we all know. But I do not recall the US doing this before. We’ve done heinous things, but with all of our weapons and might, murdering little innocent children in cold blood is a stain that was kept off us until today.
Since we have given and continue to give Israel the bombs to drop on the children of Gaza, I hardly think we are "unstained." That genocide is ours as much as it is Israel's.
No one returns from a war, and only the dead can tell how it ends. To live through a war is a fib. The soldier who left you to join the war, no one wants her/him to die but neither to come back.
Minutes of love, once chaos and war take over, change to drops of gray rain hitting at intervals. A part of each of us has shed with daughters of Miinab.
This is horrific. Worse it shows that our president has abdicated his constitutional obligation to protect us from those who would do us harm, whether foreign or domestic. And it's not Iran.
The most important issue - thank you for shining light on the cost our Western politicians were willing to make. Children seem to mean nothing to them compared to their precious careers. Western morality when, it came to elites, was always a facade and now it seems to be masks off. We need your reporting more than ever - thank you!
Deplorable evil attackers. The empire and the rogue state are going to pay consequences one way or another. So much cruelty doesn’t go unpunished. What’s this fixation to murder children and hurt girls specially.
All these neocons wanting wars nonstop. Sick of it!
Well, as I have heard many a Zionist say: "it's good to kill them BEFORE they grow up and become terrorists". Sick. It has been said, of course, about the slaughter of children in Gaza.
You know Zionists do not believe that killing Muslims and Christians is murder - it is God's will so it is just a cleansing of the land God gave to his "chosen people".
May all of them rest in peace 🕊. Bombed by democracy before they even had the chance to collect memories
Well said. There is no end to Israel's and the Trump's administration inhumanity.
Is this Trumps idea of regime change?

Herewith a few select stanzas from that great poem/song:
"Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do"
Also brings to mind my other favorite anti-war song: "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath.
"Politicians hide themselves away,
They only started the war,
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor.
Time will tell on their power minds,
Making war just for fun,
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait till their judgement day come.
Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where their bodies burning,
No more war pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling,
On their knees the war pigs crawling,
Begging mercy for their sins,
Satan laughing spreads his wings,
Oh Lord yeah"
I could be content without a heaven. But folks like these sure make hope there's a hell.

The US is no stranger to killing children. The Amiriyah shelter bombing is just one example that comes to mind.
They chose to bomb a school full of children? I'm betting that was an Israeli bomb as they did in GAZA.

They care about children insofar as they can procure a steady stream for the Epstein class to abuse.
I cannot bring myself to press "like". I thank you for your honesty. May they be resting in God's arms.
Bombing schools killing children is right up Netanyahu's alley. He is probably telling Trump don't worry about it you will get used to it.

Thanks for your reporting, truth telling and for reminding the American public that Iranian mothers and fathers love their daughters too. 💔
