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.

If this did happen, what was under the school children?
I had to clarify in another reply, Palantir picked the target from an outdated database, the school was separated from the IRCG building in ‘16.
Pretty sure we’ve acknowledged it was us. Lots can be forgiven as “fog of war”, but there’s literally a photo of the 2nd Tomahawk doing the double tap. As a conservative, I believe it’s wrong to kill children. I don’t love dead children so much that I can’t acknowledge it was a terrible mistake.
I’ve been blessed with finding so many decent conservative vets that would never find this acceptable. The best of the best. We should never think this is acceptable. It’s always a tragedy when innocent people die. War is for stupid people because they lost the argument. Stupid people believe the argument.
Countries are starting to flock to China and Russia because we are so far gone. How messed up is that?
It’s fine for people that live in a tiny bubble but for some us, many of us, it matters.
So which country are you emigrating to? China or Russia?
Iranian war crimes ...
Iran has targeted civilians in Israel, S.A., U.A.E, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Turkey.
Iran has targeted civilian infrastructure in Israel, Oman, S.A., Qatar, U.A.E. and Bahrain.
Iran has slaughtered 45,000 or more of its own civilians.
Iran has forced its own civilians to be human shields on military sites they expect to come under attack.
It's a tragedy regardless of who launched the missile
In perspective, the US and Brit bomber forces incinerated about 30,000 German civilians in a massive series of bomber raids on Dresden that created a firestorm with hurricane force winds .
Curtis Lamar methodically burned Japanese cities to the ground with B29 bombers and incendiary bombs . The only major cities left undamaged were cities we reserved for Atomic Bomb attacks so we would have pristine targets to hit for max psychological impact on the Japs and also to allow the US to determine the effects of nuclear weapons
War sucks and it's really destructive with modern weapons
Which is the reason why third world inbred terrorists. dirt bags like the IRGC, Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi fighters should no go around murdering and launching missiles at their neighbors in unprovoked acts of terrorism
When you are engaged in all out war, there is going to be unavoidable collateral civilian damage .
America and Israel try as hard as possible to to avoid civilian casualties and they are rare.
Most everything the IRGC did was terror attacks on civilian targets in the Middle East or Israel
That would be Gen Curtis LeMay. I hate auto correct
AKA ... "War is Hell."
And probably should say that the missile site was located at a school, to be more accurate with regard to the law of armed conflict.
That is what I agree with. Pretty much all of the Allied bombing efforts against Germany and Japan targeted cities in firestorms. Is that Satanic as well?
,,, which countries are flocking to China and Russia and what are the perceived advantages those two countries offer? Both are under direction of meglalomaniacs adept at thinning their own populations. Certainly, there's incentive for some nations to take on the BRICs settlement system a lot quicker after the US took Russia off the SWIFT system and froze billions of their reserves in EU banks - understandable. There's also countries that have scaled the heights of stupidity in taking on China's belt and road financing. But "flocking" is probably overestimating their depth of interest. It's simply accepting an offer in the the absence of anything better and not being able to see a trap before being caught in one.
It’s fine for people that who live in a tiny bubble but for some [of] us, many of us, it matters.
,,, some or many? Go on, choose 1) some or 2) many.
You should seek help.
You need to do some research.
Troll.
Minab....is that just south of Moab?
It is known that jihadists place their weapons shops in schools and hospitals, for just the reason as this article.
Jihadists would have no compunction about actively killing school children in the West. It’s the goose and gander thing.
Times of India seems to be an anti- USA media platform.
IOW, Ken O’Keefe is an enemy combatant.
Report and deport the Iranian propagandist.
Of all the the events in the war, the Iranian government still seeks to monetize this one event.
