1. Even before proof of missile type, there was NO DOUBT that the U.S. struck the school.

The United States is responsible for the destruction of the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab.

It is ABSURD to keep denying this war crime.

And it was not an "accident." Our military had an obligation to know what was there before they destroyed all the structures in and around the IRGC compound.

This article reports:

The United States acknowledges targeting the IRGC naval forces base in Minab on 2/28/2026. The U.S. is operating warships in the Arabian Sea, including the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, within range of the school and IRGC naval forces compound.

Israel, which has denied conducting the strike, has focused on areas of Iran closer to Israel and hasn’t reported any strikes south of Isfahan, 800 kilometers (500 miles) away.

The NYTimes (link below) compares a satellite image of Minab taken 5/14/2024 with an image taken 3/4/2026. It is clear that structures in the compound AND the school were destroyed.
