Analyses and video evidence emerged over the weekend showing that the air strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls’ Primary School on February 28—that killed over 160 girls aged 7 to 12—was carried out by the US military.
The girls’ school in Minab is in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province close to the Persian Gulf. The school was effectively pulverized by multiple blasts, and many of those killed were obliterated and could only be identified through DNA analysis. Footage showed bodies and body parts partially trapped under collapsed floors, alongside scattered schoolbags, notebooks and dust‑covered textbooks.
“Thanks to our boys in blue and having access to a BGM-109 Tomahawk. The police were able to neutralize the shooter with no injuries to our brave officers. Our initial investigation shows that all the children were dead before the Tomahawk hit the target. This is contrary to eye witness reports who are falsely claiming that all the school children were alive. As a city, we are going to continue to purchase discounted US military equipment to protect our beloved citizens.”
