Iran’s defence minister Amir Nasirzadeh is no more 
Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammed Pakpour is now dust

Multiple high-ranking Islamic Revolution Guard Corps commanders and regime officials — including IRGC Commander Gen. Mohammad Pakpour and Iranian defense minister Amir Nasirzadeh — may have been killed in Operation Epic Fury, according to reports
Pakpour was named head of the IRGC after Israel’s June attacks on Iran killed his predecessor, Hossein Salami, and oversaw the deaths of thousands of protestors during weeks-long unrest in December.
Multiple sources said the joint Saturday strikes were believed to have eliminated Pakpour and Nasirzadeh, according to Reuters.
US and Israel launched at least seven missiles on Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s fortified compound, killing numerous senior officials, Iranian sources told the outlet.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC News also admitted that at least two Iranian commanders were killed in the attack, but did not confirm any names.
Ali Shamkhani, a senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, may have also been killed, according to Iranian media.
Another 40 people were killed when Israeli missiles landed on a school, Reuters reported, citing Iranian state media.
Under his rule as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ top commander, Pakpour oversaw the deaths of 3,117 civilians across the nation — including bystanders and witnesses — during nationwide anti-regime protests.
Soldiers allegedly opened fire into the crowds indiscriminately — and put the country under a media blackout to hide the bloodshed.

They were probably teaching them to hate America.
Lies on both side, no doubt.
But that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen:

Good . Those butchers who murdered thousands of their own people can’t be sent to Hell fast enough to satisfy me.
Ignorant hothead not to be trusted in a real fight. Cooler heads prevail.
Iran’s defence minister Amir Nasirzadeh is no more
Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammed Pakpour is now dust
Again, NOPE an Israel missile did not hit a school. Yes, it means it didn’t happen.
Giving the same level of credence to a report from Iran as reports for the west is a moral failing.
I have seen pictures which purport to show the missile arc in a u-turn and go right for the school. (not saying those pics are accurate just that I have seen some)
They bombed themselves. Taking claims from Iran with equal value on reports from credible western organizations is wrong. I swear such people are the ones who believed Bagdad Bob, and will never lear...
All those bodies the regime murdered have not gone to waste! They saved some of the dead women and children they murdered so they could drop them off at places that got bombed if they were attacked. I bet this 'school' is as legitimate as Somali day care. They are probably putting in the props and bodies now as I type to complete this bit of disinformation.
He’s dead Jim.
The first time I saw the op name, I thought it said “Epic Furry.” I was truly afraid.
Israel’s Netanyahu Says There Are Signs That Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei ‘Is No Longer’

Please pray that this is true.
At https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A2UVks8DnU Tousi shows video of school children right next to the IRGC facility that was hit, and they are celebrating and thanking Trump.
So much for Reuters.
In the past we would have a Pentagon briefing by now.
I guess some of the ongoing operations still require silence.
They like to site missile launchers near schools, so a circular shot could certainly be what happened.
You know that how?
From the available pictures this happened in broad daylight instead of O’Dark thirty.
Keep on believing, some people never lear from history. Your faith in a regime proven as liars over their 47-year tyranny means stopping what’s working to overanalyze, lose momentum and allow the enemy to regain themselves, which is exactly what they want with telling such lies.
Yours is the position that gets soldiers killed.
The truth is even with evidence later that it is a lie you will still believe the mad mullah muslims because it fits your narrative.
Tell Carry_Okie that
I do not know it as a fact, but I do know it because it is the strongest rational argument for what happened. So strong I am comfortable staking a position in support of it.
I'm perfectly happy to see better evidence. Thank you butterdezillion. GFY Skwor.
Well, you were just given some evidence, I find it hard to believe the children would be dancing if 40 of their students just died. Now I readily admit this is by no means absolute proof, but you sure seem mad that at least contradicts the Iran narrative.
I for one am very happy it likely means 40 children did not die.
