RT reports on the U.S. strikes in Iran that resulted in civilian casualties, specifically focusing on an attack on a girl's school that killed over 160 children, and analyzes the historical context of similar incidents involving U.S. military operations.
RT covers the U.S. denial of responsibility for a devastating strike on an Iranian girls' elementary school that occurred shortly after the commencement of a U.S.-Israeli military operation against Iran, resulting in the tragic deaths of more than 160 children. The report features insights from journalist Isabella Blumberg, who delves into previous instances where the U.S. has been implicated in civilian casualties during military engagements.
The article references the February 28 bombing in the southern Iranian city of Minab, supported by verified footage showing the school allegedly hit by a Tomahawk missile, a commonly utilized weapon by U.S. forces. Investigative reports from reputable media outlets, including Reuters and The Washington Post, strongly suggest that the strike targeted nearby sites associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, inadvertently leading to the civilian disaster.
In examining historical precedents, RT draws parallels with past military actions, such as the 2015 airstrike on a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz and the 1991 bombardment of the Amaria shelter in Baghdad. These examples underscore a controversial pattern in U.S. military operations where civilian infrastructure is tragically caught in the crossfire, raising significant ethical concerns about the rules of engagement practiced by U.S. forces in conflict zones.
