Analyses and video evidence emerged over the weekend showing that the air strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls’ Primary School on February 28—that killed over 160 girls aged 7 to 12—was carried out by the US military.

The girls’ school in Minab is in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province close to the Persian Gulf. The school was effectively pulverized by multiple blasts, and many of those killed were obliterated and could only be identified through DNA analysis. Footage showed bodies and body parts partially trapped under collapsed floors, alongside scattered schoolbags, notebooks and dust‑covered textbooks.

The US must demand the heads of whichever evil shits did this. Not the people who were instructed, the people who made the decisions.

EDIT I've been convinced by some of the arguments and then re-reading history about Nazi Germany through to Colonel Oliver North. The people who physically pull the trigger can, in a hearing, be allowed to explain why they pull that trigger. I would imagine that this buries the people making the decisions higher than their neck.

[-] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 days ago

Nah the shitheads that pulled the trigger can get it, too.

"I was just following orders."

Those missiles could have gone to Ukraine to defend against russian tanks, but for some reason the current US administration said we couldn't afford it...

Weird...

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

The us military gets a trillion a year and they’re already screaming they’re low on munitions.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

They also didn't bother to consider maybe they might need some anti-drone technology before invading the country that manufacturers russia's drones. You know, like that laser in arizona that shot down a party balloon or something...

[-] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

America not content with the school massacres on it's own soil. smh

Could you even imagine our response if the situation were reversed?

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 142 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yeah. We might bomb their schools and assassinate their leaders.

Edit: On second thought... we didn't bomb Saudi Arabia for 9/11.

[-] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 59 points 4 days ago

Yeah, that's the fun thing about doing the worst shit you can think of on the first day, doesn't really give you any options after that. We can really threaten Iran with actually we haven't done.

Of course that is the MAGA Hallmark: evil, selfish, AND stupid.

Instead we opted for regime change in Afghanistan. Look how that turned out.

Thoughts and prayers? That's usually what happens when US school children die.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 days ago

The only thing that could've saved them was a good guy with a ~~gun~~BGM-109 Tomahawk Land Attack Missile!!!

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 3 days ago

"Thanks to our boys in blue and having access to a BGM-109 Tomahawk. The police were able to neutralize the shooter with no injuries to our brave officers. Our initial investigation shows that all the children were dead before the Tomahawk hit the target. This is contrary to eye witness reports who are falsely claiming that all the school children were alive. As a city, we are going to continue to purchase discounted US military equipment to protect our beloved citizens."

Amerikkka: Tired of killing kids in its own schools, now killing kids in other countries' schools

[-] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

who tf downvoted you? Butthurt USians who couldn't handle the truth?

[-] MerryJaneDoe@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Probably just a stickler for spelling errors.

[-] BeardededSquidward 10 points 3 days ago

The cruelty is the point. They're just wanting to destroy key infrastructure and kill as many children as possible. We learned well from Israel.

Trump killed school girls

Let's not forget who specifically ordered this war to be started. All headlines should start with Trump ordered children to be murdered or Trump is getting people killed or Trump has raised oil prices and people are beginning to starve or Trump closed off shipping lanes

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 50 points 4 days ago

He has raped school girls too. I need to replace the pic inside the helmet to one with both Jeff and Don in it.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 35 points 4 days ago

Yes, but don't give the soldiers that pulled the trigger a pass. They're legally required to not follow illegal orders. All of them should be court marshalled and charged with war crimes.

Trump

Nope, the United States of America.

You’re responsible for who you elect.

No thanks.

The US did this. This began in like 1908. Trump wasn’t even born yet. The USA is an evil empire and needs to be ripped out root and branch. Capitalism has to go.

None of this will be fixed without a revolution so bloody Mao would be uncomfortable and the glassing of Israel.

Don't forget that abortion is a sin, btw.

well, yeah. that's what the bad guys do.

[-] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

How would Americans reasonably react if this happened to one of their schools by another country. Have to specify where this would be by another country as we all know they don't care if it was an American

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Since when did the us care if their schools get shot up?

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

The USA killed hundreds of thousands of children in Iraq, they are just warming up to SAVE DEMOCRACY, which requires many thousands of stacked up baby bodies

Americans have done thousands of 9/11 and yet they arent satisfied with their bloodlust

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 40 points 4 days ago

The only person denying this is Donald Trump. Even the US military isn't disowning this incident.

The article claims video evidence that it was a U.S. missile. So where’s the video?

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

According to Iran it was a double tap strike. The girls all gathered in a single location after the first strike and then the US bombed them again around 40 minuten later.

Someone pressed the button to kill children, then pressed again to kill more. I am not mad at dt but at that human who pressed the button. Why cant every soldier just say no and kill the one who told him to do the war crime
