US investigators believe strike on Iranian girls' school probably carried out by US forces. Warning graphic. [View all]

US military officials briefed on investigation make disclosure, while Pentagon has confirmed only that inquiry is under way.

Military investigators believe it is likely that US forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion, according to two US officials.

Reuters was unable to determine further details about the investigation, including what evidence contributed to the tentative assessment, what type of munition was used, who was responsible or why the US might have struck the school.

The Pentagon chief, Pete Hegseth, on Wednesday acknowledged the US military was investigating the incident.

Stuff:

So the attack was a “double tap” operation where a second attack happened shortly after the
first one in order to kill more people included Iranians coming to help the victims.

As of 3 days ago the casualties were 168 dead and 95 wounded or 263 dead or wounded most
of which were school girls ages 7 to 12 years old. The number of dead has no doubt risen because
many of the wounded will have passed because of their injuries.





Where are all those good American Christians now?



How many Iranian Martyrs did Stephen Miller, Trump, Israel, and Saudi Arabia just make?
