A veteran has sparked fierce controversy after publicly blaming Donald Trump for the deaths of school children in Minab, alleging that Tomahawk missile strikes caused catastrophic destruction. The explosive accusation has reignited debate over military accountability, civilian casualties and the human cost of conflict. The remarks are drawing intense scrutiny as questions grow over command responsibility, rules of engagement and the wider fallout from US military actions in the region. The claims have fuelled sharp political reactions, renewed outrage over civilian harm and fresh demands for transparency surrounding the deadly Minab incident.

I think Mr. Okeefe is an irgc sympathizer.
Iran launched the attack on that school
There is much collateral damage in any war.
It is always a tragedy when children are slain in war or anytime. That speaker did not include your information about WHY Trump would ever even consider authorizing our bombing in that area?
As you have explained, it was done because the school was located on an active Iranian cruise missile site.
That mournfully enraged speaker could must know this as well, but for unstated reasons, chose to leave that part out.
The higher-ups in the Iranian regime didn’t let their kids go to school that day.
Iran hit their own school on purpose.
I believe it was picked as a target by Palantir software, because its name was Shahid.
Maybe this POS can get access to the IRGC jails and killing teams who slaughtered ~35,00 Iranian civilians within weeks? Show me what the Iranian regime has been doing for months in their torture chambers and on the spot executions of the wounded in the hospitals in the middle of their treatment.
Go be a human shield so we can take you out.
It did not happen.
Corpses were placed in there.
Also, it can’t be against the Geneva Convention that we signed, because the US never ratified the Additional Protocol I of the Geneva Convention.

Even if it happened, “from nits come lice”.
All emotionally sound human beings agree that this was a heart-breaking tragedy.
Assuming that this was carried out by the US, no rational person could argue that it was intentional. That having been said, what have the rulers of Iran done for their own children?
Much of the nation has sporadic clean water, if at all. Pollution is suffocating. Malnutrition is rampant. In many areas, poverty drives children to drop out of school and beg in the streets.
I left Iran in 1982, and swore I would never go back. But I did go back. I saw kids begging in the streets. I saw kids selling paper tissue in the airport terminals. I saw kids running to cars a stop signs, offering to wash car windows, or selling CDs or trinkets. I saw kids selling toothpaste tubes on metro cars.
The poverty is heart-breaking, and it hits the nation’s most vulnerable the hardest.
The rulers of Iran are evil. Someone should explain this to those who are so quick to blame USA for all of the world’s maladies.
Uh, irgc killed way more than US attacks. No problem there? Iran fully supported Oct 7th IIRC. Is that okay? Cooper is correct.
A Marine? Whatever happened to, “Poof! Napalm sticks to kids!”?
Not quite accurate. The school used to be connected to an IRGC site, but was separated in 2016. The database that Palantir used for target selection wasn’t updated to reflect this.
I agree with your Palantir assumption. It’s a tragic event. The least the admin could do is apologize that innocents died. Sadly, Trump came up with a fantasy and states that Iran had tomahawks and bombed the site. Not a single person from the admin would be so stupid to say that.
The very least just apologize but nada. Not an iota of decency in this admin. None.
