U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed ​their investigation, two U.S. officials told Reuters.

Reuters was unable to determine more details about the investigation, including what evidence ‌contributed to the tentative assessment, what type of munition was used, who was responsible or why the U.S. might have struck the school.

      This particular article does not say that. It says it hasn’t been able to rule it out. Which honestly doesn’t make a lot of sense, you would think we know who flew where and dropped what at a specific time and place.

    Seems logical that it could have been intentional. The US/Trump wants an all out war in order to cancel elections and seize more power.

    He does a little oopsie and kills a bunch of innocent children; they get pissed off, attack the US directly, and then he has a war that both populations want. Kind of like 9/11, but we are the terrorists this time.

    I think if there are boots on the ground, then all bets are off and that scenario might play out – but who knows?

    Can these US citizens be put on trial for murder or war crimes by chance?

      US has longstanding tradition of protecting themselves, and of course bibi, from such options. This evil, and head of state assassination, was entirely intentional in order to ensure Iranians were more united to fight longer, and no option for ceasefire would exist. The ever more desperate shifts from reality in Trump demands seems like worrisome dementia or Israel handling inconsiderate of US sustainability.

      1. In the US - Yes, but only if the actions are deemed to not be official actions sanctioned by leadership.

      2. In the Hague - Yes

    America is so good at making school children fear for their lives that were exporting that to other countries.

    Would be hilarious if Israel bombed something and went “what do you mean it’s an American bomb. Wasn’t us”

    Also fuck zionists

      That is my typical goto screnario for actual torture

      Watch the movie “Johnny got his gun”, the Metallica song “one” was based off it and it is a great and awful movie because it’s like the torture to end all tortures
