All girls school in Iran struck by US-Israeli strike, over 100 casualties



The death toll at an all girls school in southern Iran struck by a US-Israel strike is over 100, according to the state-run IRNA news agency. U.S. Central Command spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said he was “aware of reports” that a girls’ school was struck and that officials were looking into them.

School with a 100 Casualties... and making life better for Women in Iran now. I hope things will be better for Women now, but this does not bode well.. with the Homicidal Maniac PEDO in charge.

9. It was an Israeli strike. One of two.

Another school was also hit, killing 2 more students.

I don't believe ineptitude is the problem. If we start hearing about "human shields" we will know for sure it was deliberate. Gaza redux, I'm very much afraid.

12. Improving Iranian women's lives has begun apparently.

Because women's freedom is the cudgel to beat anti-genocide and anti-Israel folk with... the irony of these murders is not lost on me. As it is likely not lost on the relatives of these women and most of Iran's population. Or on the kin of the 30,000 or so dead Palestinian women. Especially their children, who will grow up to become Hamas or Iranian Revolution 2.0. Thus Netanyahu ensures endless wars.

11. Tons of outrage by Republicans on x

MAGA is pissed. Tucker called them evil, Fuentes told his audience to stay home in midterms or vote Dem, MTG hates Trump says they were betrayed etc. Republicans want Massie who Trump despises. It even gets more bizarro - many calling for a mixed ticket of Ro Khanna and Massie.

13. Not about Ukraine. And Massie and MGT had already left Trump over Epstein.

Tucker had a falling out with Trump 8 months ago over Trump’s support of Israel.

None of those people have complained about Russia bombing elementary schools in Ukraine. And they're not really complaining about little Iranian girls getting bombed, they're complaining that the bombing of Iran is not "America first."

And most relevant, the Republicans in Congress thoroughly support Trump’s militarism. Mike Johnson will not allow any war powers resolution vote on the House floor. And Republicans have essentially abandoned Ukraine to Russia.

14. Different school, different city:

In addition to whoever struck the school, Iran may bare responsibility for this horrific tragedy as well. (Please note, I'm not attempting to absolve anyone involved of their responsibility here.)

This was posted a couple days ago. It reportedly shows that the Iranian government positioned an air defense system (including radar) at the Karimian Elementary School in Isfahan, cynically using school children as human shields in case Iran was attacked. I would be very surprised if this was the only school/hospital/etc. that Iran used this way.

15. If you're not trying to absolve the US of blowing up a school full of gurls, why post that?

There is zero evidence Iran was using the school as a military installation, and even the Hegseth Defense Department has not made that suggestion, so why are you implying it?

It looks like it was a mistake due to incompetence, like so much of what this administration does. The school was close to a Revolutionary Guard base, so it appears to be bad aiming. https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/01/world/video/iran-girls-school-vrtc-digvid
