Description

It’s been one week since the attack on the Minab elementary school in Iran. This attack was on a Saturday, the same day US-Israeli attacks were launched against the country. This attack led to the killing of at least 168 people, and the majority of those killed were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. Now calls are growing for an independent investigation into the bombing of the Shajrah Tayebeh girls’ school, with UN experts denouncing it as “a grave assault on children.” Both the US and Israeli militaries have acknowledged this attack, and for their part US investigators probing the bombing believe it is most likely that the US military was responsible for the strike, though they have not reached a final conclusion. Additionally, and this is according to exclusive reporting by Middle East Eye, the girls’ school was hit by what’s known as a “double-tap” strike, meaning the site was hit twice, with the second missile striking after the first and killing survivors who had sought shelter.
