CBS News: US May Be Involved in Attack on Iranian Girls' School


The tragedy in Iran's Hormozgan province is accumulating details that the White House would apparently prefer to keep under wraps. On February 28, an American airstrike reduced a girls' school to rubble, claiming the lives of more than 170 people. Now, it appears, the US is frantically searching for an explanation that will satisfy everyone except the victims' families.



CBS News sources relayed the Pentagon's preliminary version to the press: the strike on a civilian facility was a mistake. The intelligence, they claimed, was "outdated," and listed the school as part of a nearby Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military base.

American sources are diligently trying to shield their main Middle Eastern ally from attack, insisting that Israeli troops were not active in the area on February 28.

The White House is so far reserving generalities. Press Secretary Anna Kelly states that the investigation is in full swing, and that "drawing conclusions is premature and irresponsible." While the incident is under investigation, President Trump has already rushed to deny US involvement in the massacre on social media.

As a result, the Americans believe that the deaths of over 170 girls were simply a "system glitch," not a deliberate crime. But even if the school was indeed adjacent to IRGC military facilities, for Washington, this apparently automatically makes it a legitimate target. The question is who will ultimately pay for this "outdated data" and whose databases will be next written off as "pilot error."

    Who would have doubted it? In fact, it was the Iranians who fired on themselves—a method already well-tested by the Ukrainian Nazis.
    WASHINGTON, March 8. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump claims Iran is responsible for the attack on a girls' elementary school in the south of the country.
    "Based on what I saw, it was done by Iran," Trump emphasized in response to a journalist's question on the matter.

      It's just that the real capabilities of US intelligence are greatly exaggerated, and that's why they bomb everything in sight: schools, hospitals, kindergartens, weddings, and sometimes, as a result of massive attacks, they hit a military target.

        Perhaps. But it's possible the attack was deliberate. And the date the war began may not have been chosen by chance.
        Well, some have already enlisted themselves as new crusaders. Holy War in all its glory.

      I'm just curious: if Trump's children and his supporters had been hit by a missile due to a "system failure," would Jihad have happened? It would be heartbreaking for the parents. How can they explain to them that their seven-year-old daughter will never again cross the threshold of the house or snuggle her mother's cheek? Bastards.

      hi What can one expect from the Anglo-Saxons, as well as their patrons - the Zionists and the Bibi clique, after many years of extermination of the legitimate indigenous inhabitants of America - the Indians, barbaric piracy in the world, colonial conquests and napalm in Vietnam, carpet bombing in Yugoslavia, Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic.

    Throughout their history, Americans have never held their soldiers accountable for crimes against anyone at all; at most, they've given short sentences like three days or six hours. And how many were transferred to penal battalions for destroying an enemy-held house, burning a prisoner alive, or commandeering a local's car—that's probably a closed story and will never be made public.

    It's strange that they're still making excuses. It's somehow un-American. They should have said long ago that Islam's nuclear sword was forged under the school, and it's their own fault.

      That's it. Nuclear missiles below, schoolgirls above. And the teachers are all nuclear experts.

    This statement is made for political purposes against Trump and nothing more. The next one will probably be from Self-Propelled Joe - Trump, a butcher and a murderer (he's still learning the words).

    The Israeli attack on the school was pre-planned, in conjunction with the Americans. This was intended to direct Iranian missile strikes toward relatively distant Israel (a deeply layered air defense system had been established in advance). They planned a repeat of the 12-Day War scenario.
    A whole week has passed, and nothing more insidious than a simple error has been launched. Although they'll try to come up with something else, presenting themselves as "angels in the flesh."

    This morning, TV showed a brief clip of the missile's final landing—almost vertically. Comments said the missile's silhouette resembled a Tomahawk. Apparently, Israel didn't have any "axes." The direction of the missile's arrival remains unclear.

    The Yankees are no strangers to attacking funerals, weddings, schools, hospitals, and civilians. They are a nation of jackals and murderers.

    Israel immediately denied involvement in the attack on the school, and the US immediately announced an investigation. Identified Iranian social media users from the province (approximately five people) wrote that the school was indeed geographically directly connected to IRGC facilities, which could explain the mistaken attack.

    The Americans think they'll just say, "No, sorry," as usual, and the whole world will forget about this monstrous crime. It's happened before, and more than once. And not a single American or Israeli cannibal will be punished.

    The headline is good. And now, what happened? With the Skripals, the missile in Kramatorsk, the theater in Mariupol, the hospital in Mariupol—the press didn't mention such things; they'd immediately lie. And where have all those human rights organizations gone? And how they screamed? The White Helmets have disappeared too.

    The use of AI systems helped the US and Israel hit key targets in Iran.
    Here's the answer to why the school was bombed. Based on all the intelligence received, the Maven Smart System AI compiled a list of priority targets, but either neglected to verify the data's relevance or simply didn't have the time. Ultimately, a change in the location of one of the targets led to tragic consequences. According to open sources: The school is located approximately 60 meters from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) base, which was attacked on the same day. According to satellite imagery, the school building was part of the base in 2013, but by September 2016, it was separated from the base by a wall. According to an anonymous US official in a comment to The Wall Street Journal, the school building had previously served as the IRGC headquarters.
    The second likely scenario: a coincidence. The base was hit, and due to air defense activity, the missile deviated from its intended trajectory and hit a neighboring building. Based on statements from both sides that the missile strikes were highly accurate, the likelihood of this scenario is low.

    Answering the question: Nobody.
    At first, they'll play around to stall for time; they can't just declare themselves guilty. Then they'll start blurring the facts, asking whether it really was a school and not a cover for a military facility. Ultimately, they'll hush it up because of the statute of limitations or find someone to blame. For example, counter-air defenses led to an uncontrolled change in trajectory and a deviation from the intended target, a nearby air base.
