The building appears to be among many devastated in Trump’s ‘major combat operations’ as long expected attacks arrive
Iran’s parents had just dropped their children off for class on Saturday morning when they found themselves racing back to school gates, as bombs began to fall across the country in a joint US-Israel attack.
At one elementary school, according to Iran’s state-controlled media, they arrived to find devastation. At least 80 children had been killed in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, the IRNA news agency reported, with dozens more unaccounted for.
In one video circulating on social media, purportedly showing the immediate aftermath of the strike, smoke rises from the burnt-out walls, and debris lies spread across the road. Hundreds of onlookers gathered at the site, some in obvious distress. Screams can be heard in the background. The report of the bombing, its death toll and the video’s source could not immediately be independently verified by the Guardian. Persian factchecking service Factnameh was able to cross-reference the video with other photographs of the school site, and concluded that the video was authentic. Reuters said it had also verified the footage as being from the school.
I’m sure this won’t drive the people of Iran right into the arms of new leader once he is picked. /s
Remember when we all condemned Russia for hitting those schools in Ukraine? And, of course, they’re still doing it.
I guess not all of us did.

Why are you believing the state media of an authoritarian extremist state?
Why are you not quoting the part where they say they cross-checked that the videos were real and the building was correctly identified ?
Because there is video evidence of it…? I saw a tiny pink backpack with bloody handprints on it as soon as I saw the video of people screaming outside the school
Do you have a link to that video?
For anyone else reading this, FG_3479 has other posts promoting deportation and suggesting some immigrants are simply “wired for crime”.
I don’t think there’s any need to engage with someone who has such a clear absence of compassion or humanity.
I do not think you should simply pick random people off the street and deport them.
I think that illegal immigrants should be given a chance to go through the process to become legal, and that process should be cheaper and faster than it is now.
The people I want deported are those such as drug dealers and terrorists.
Also, my “wired for crime” comment was not targeted towards immigrants but instead criminals. It was in a thread about police.
I have said all of this before in a earlier comment:
The people I’m worried about are criminals who are not caught at the border and that the government doesn’t know about.
We need to both get rid of them and make the legal routes faster and cheaper to isolate criminals from innocent people.
Currently illegal immigrants should be given a path to legallity if they are willing to provide the documents and have done nothing wrong in both the UK and their home countries.
I hope you understand my views now.
No one is illegal on stolen land. The United States has no actual right to exist, and therefore has no actual right to deport people.
Drug dealers are supplying a demand created by citizens and governments have no right to tell people what substances they may or may not put in their own bodies. You address harmful drug use by providing people with a life they don’t feel a desperate need to escape from, not by taking anyone’s freedom.
I understand your views just as I understood them before. I understand that you’re attempting to downplay the murder of children by imperialists and probably have a biased or vested interest in doing so.
Do you have working eyes?
I wanted to upvote this but then saw it already has 666…
yes let’s make a meme joke on a serious post what are you like 14
Wasn’t joking… glad to see it now has 722… 23 with my vote… I’m 33… 34 in 1 week
Exporting Trump Sponsored Terrorism and GOP war on women and children to the whole world.
God fucking damnit, so fucking frustrating. Another 30+ years of “terrorists” because people will avenge war crimes committed by the US. This is maddening.
Another 30+ years of “terrorists”
We were never going to hear the end of “Muslim Terrorist” rhetoric, because it was instrumental in justifying our dominion over the region.
There isn’t going to be another 9/11. We’re well past the point of needing a causa belli for this kind of war. It’ll just be ICE goons murdering parents in front of crying children and CNN talking heads explaining how we’re safer because of it.
Another 30+ years of “terrorists”
America claims its attacks are to stop ‘terrorists’, but it’s exactly those actions that are creating ‘terrorists’. And they’re fully justified in becoming ‘terrorists’ imo.
If I lived in Iran, I’d certainly want revenge for this.
(here I’m using the word terrorist to mean ‘enemy of America~s administration~’, as that’s what America has turned that word into)
Prior to this attack, as well as the bunker busters dropped last year: I do not believe Iran is/was creating nuclear weapons.
Since these two attacks however, I believe they’d be justified in seeking such weapons simply because America has proven over and over that no nation is safe without them.
In short; I don’t think they are/were, but I do think they should be in response. As much as I don’t like nuclear proliferation, I’m much much more against deliberately killing innocents, particularly children.
Perhaps I’d have a different opinion if America/Israel struck military targets; but they didn’t. They struck homes, schools, and other civilians.
America is truly a Terrorist State, if not just a lap dog of Israel’s genocidal regime.
it’s exactly those actions that are creating ‘terrorists’
Even this hasn’t born out. We’re not seeing waves of terrorism on US soil by foreigners or radicalized domestics.
We’re seeing police brutality by state officials aimed anyone who “looks like a terrorist”, with some spycops bullshit to entrap a few useful idiots along the way.
Perhaps I’d have a different opinion if America/Israel struck military targets;
They’re dismantling the ability of the Iranian state to defend it’s sovereignty so they can bomb and assassinate locals with impunity.
They’re also randomly killing civilians, because these military strikes aren’t as precise or informed as the leadership wants you to believe
causa belli
It’s “casus” belli
Pretty sure targeting children’s schools breaches the Geneva Convention rules of war. Although Israel will say they’re a cover for a military base
What’s that thing when people are killed for no real strategic purpose? 🤔
America.
It’s either collateral damage or murder. Sadly I’m going with murder
There is a strategic purpose…
They don’t want peace, even if that’s because they won.
They want a constant war as an excuse for why they can be the only ones in power.
Killing a bunch of kids, makes sure the other side won’t surrender. Even if the government does, you can claim all the people who want to kill your for killing kids are terrorists, and that they didn’t surrender.
Which makes it even worse.
Killing a bunch of kids, makes sure the other side won’t surrender.
It’s a genocide. We don’t intend to let them surrender. We’re going to keep killing long after Iran has been fully defanged
Unfortunately, just statistics
It’s on the tip of my tongue. Starts with an M?
I was thinking of the letter T but that works also.
Mancy?
Business.
Americans and Israelis when these particular roosters will inevitably come home to roost: “why do they hate us?”.
A super majority of Americans are anti-Israel. This is a strawman that isn’t applicable anymore. Democrats are about to sweep in mid-terms as a consequence of this action + Gaza + ICE.
That’s entirely irrelevant to any radicalized Iranian who saw American bombs killing innocent school children.
I think you misunderstand. The point is that everyone in the US knows exactly why “they hate us” — it is not a mystery to anyone. This is a straw man in the truest sense; you’d be hard pressed to find a US citizen who authentically poses this question.
Ah I understand, good clarification.
But does, ironically demonstrate the exact “but why do they hate us, it was Israel!” reaction to be expected.
How about we all simultaneously lobby our representatives to impeach this entire evil administration?
Gotta wonder how many Chuds will post “Iranians can wear bikinis again” before the bodies are even cold
