Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency has reported that at least 40 people were killed after an Israeli strike hit a girls’ elementary school in Minab in the southern Hormozgan province.
This is a developing story. I’ve provided some micro-updates in the comments, focusing on the verification of the story.
I recommend this Middle East Eye, and this Guardian article for more on this story.
After months of protests, I truly doubt a bunch of girls were at school on a Saturday.
Just like the US said Iraq was removing premature infants from respirators in Kuwait. Bullshit.
Just like Israel said Hamas was beheading babies. Absolute nonsense.
It’s meant to generate rage first and foremost, to dehumanize the enemy.
War is dehumanizing enough.
I do not trust Iran one bit. Iranians, maybe. They’re the ones suffering here. But the regimes at play here can all get fucked.
You’re comparing Israeli and US lies to justify bombing civilians with a country being surprise attacked in the middle of peace negotiations saying one of the 500 targets Israel is gloating about was a school… Because you think it’s the weekend?
Not so fun fact, the weekend in Iran is Thursday and Friday. Yes, there is school on Saturday.
Fair point, I was ignorant of their weekends. But I was also considering that their society has been in disarray during protests for months.
Even that doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be school.
I still distrust news that comes from any of the regimes at play here.
And any deaths of civilians would be tragic. Of course if a school was indeed hit that would be a horrific thing.
