Blogger’s Note: The duplicitous Western media is not condemning the US or Israel for their “illegal” military aggression against Iran – but on the contrary – are condemning Iran for defending itself! This is a poignant demonstration of what Karl Marx refers to the “inverted” consciousness employed by the bourgeoisie – designed to maintain its political and cultural control of society. Compare this with how Russia is treated in the West for daring to defend itself against Neo-Nazi Ukraine. The West (including Israel) implemented an illegal overthrow of the democratically elected government in Ukraine – and instigated in its place the “Maidan” Neo-Nazi junta. It is interesting that thousands of IDF Veterans have travelled to Kyiv to join its Neo-Nazi “Azov” Battalions (along with untold numbers of Jews from around the world) – whilst simultaneously still upholding a pronounced victimhood regarding the Nazi German holocaust (which my grandparents risked their lives fighting against during WWII). These contradictions need to stop and Israel must be held accountable for its despicable behaviour, attitudes, and crimes. Israel – like the US – must be brought in-line with International Law. Despite having endless and unjust (illegal) sanctions imposed upon it – the Iranian people have managed to construct a well-thought-out defensive plan – and successfully apply it against the unjust might of the US and the Zionists! Meanwhile, as the racist regime of Israel does not care about the welfare of non-White (non-Jewish) people – it has today murdered at least 170 Iranian schoolgirls (with many more wounded) – using Western supplied missiles. This is the sheer evil of it all in microcosm. Now, I am reliably told that “14” teachers were also killed along side the girls – the question is ‘does the figure of “170″ refer only to the girls – or does it also include the teachers’? A recent Iranian news article stated that the full combined number is actually “over” 180! I have recorded the news (and different numbers) as the news became available – as I hope the US warmongers will one-day be held accountable for this War Crime. ACW (28.2.2026)

TEHRAN, March 1 (Xinhua) — The death toll from a joint U.S.-Israeli strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan rose to 148, semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday.
The attack also left 95 people wounded, local prosecutor Ebrahim Taheri was quoted as saying.
He said the majority of the victims of the brutal attack were pupils, with teachers, school staff and students’ parents also among the dead.
On Saturday morning, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, including Tabriz, Qom, Isfahan, Kermanshah, and Karaj. Iran responded with missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region.
The attacks on Tehran killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Secretary of the country’s Defense Council Ali Shamkhani and Mohammad Pakpour, chief commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

❗️Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:
“These are graves being dug for more than 160 innocent young girls who were killed in the US-Israeli bombing of a primary school. Their bodies were torn to shreds.
This is how “rescue” promised by Mr. Trump looks in reality.
From Gaza to Minab, innocents murdered in cold blood.”

If I am reading this correctly – it would seem that 158 children were murdered by the US-Israeli War Crime – together with 14 of their teachers. This atrocity has the proportions of the genocidal crimes committed by Nazi Germany during its invasion of the USSR!
‘We stand with the Iranian people,’ they said.
They are now standing on their graves.
Here is the ‘help’ that Trump and Netanyahu promised to the Iranian people.

❗️Minab schoolgirls massacre was deliberate US-Israeli attack intended to inflict maximum civilian casualties
On the morning of 28 February missiles struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, killing at least 165 people, most of them girls aged 7 to 12, and wounding at least 95 others. Despite claims linking the site to nearby military facilities, satellite imagery and historical analysis show the school had operated independently as a civilian institution for over a decade, with separate entrances, playgrounds, and classrooms.
Videos analyzed from the strike confirm two distinct missile impacts: one on the adjacent military base and one directly on the school.
According to an investigation by Al Jazeera, the massacre fits a documented pattern in US and Israeli operations, from Baghdad to Gaza, where schools, hospitals, and shelters have repeatedly been hit, followed by immediate denials or misattributions. In Minab, the attack was likely deliberate, and designed to inflict maximum civilian casualties to undermine public morale and send a stark warning amid ongoing US-Israeli attacks on the Islamic Republic.

Minab massacre: US probe finds American forces killed 170 Iranian schoolgirls
Friday, 06 March 2026 8:12 AM [ Last Update: Friday, 06 March 2026 8:12 AM ]
American warplanes appear to have deliberately bombed an elementary school filled with children on the first day of strikes against Iran, US military investigators say, killing at least 170 students and staff in what survivors are calling a calculated act of terror.
They now believe American forces were “likely” responsible for the attack on Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Hormozgan province, according Reuters which cited American officials.
The strike occurred on February 28, the opening day of the coordinated US-Israeli aggression against Iran, and stands as the deadliest known episode of civilian casualties since the unprovoked act of terror began.
The New York Times said a mounting body of evidence assembled by the newspaper, including newly released satellite imagery and verified videos, indicates the school building was severely damaged by a precision strike.
Official statements that US forces were attacking naval targets near the Strait of Hormuz suggest American warplanes were most likely to have carried out the strike, it said.
Satellite images obtained from Planet Labs show the extent of the devastation. Multiple precision strikes hit at least six buildings along with the school, the Times said.
Four buildings inside a naval base were completely destroyed, and two other buildings showed impact points at the center of their roofs, consistent with American guided munitions.
Wes J. Bryant, a national security analyst and former US Air Force senior adviser on civilian harm at the Pentagon, reviewed the satellite imagery and concluded that all of the buildings, including the school, had been hit with “picture perfect” precision strikes, it said.
The elementary school is located in the small southern town of Minab. Because Saturday marks the start of the Iranian workweek, children and teachers were in class at the time of the strike.
The attack left more than 170 schoolchildren and staff dead, many of them pulled from rubble as rescue workers raced against time.
According to the newspaper, publicly available historical satellite imagery demonstrates the structure bears the hallmarks of a school, including a sports field and other recreational areas added over time.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has declared the attack on the school was deliberate, designed specifically to distract Iranian armed forces with desperate search and rescue efforts.
He said the children who died were “little angels” who were “brutally massacred” to allow aggressors to attack military targets with greater ease and impunity.
Beth Van Schaack, a former State Department official who teaches at Stanford University’s Center for Human Rights and International Justice, said American intelligence capabilities should have ensured the military knew a school was in the vicinity.
At a White House news conference, press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if the United States had conducted the airstrike on the school.
She responded, “Not that we know of,” adding that the Department of War is investigating. Far-right war secretary Pete Hegseth also confirmed an investigation is underway.
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine said US forces were carrying out strikes along southern Iran and identified several US military operations targeting the southern and southeastern areas of the country.
Theories circulating online suggesting a misfired Iranian missile was responsible have been debunked by The Times and other analysts, who determined that a single errant missile could not have caused such precise and targeted damage to several buildings across the naval base.
Iran’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva has called for immediate international action to stop the brutal strikes on Iranian schools. The UN human rights office called for an investigation, with spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani saying the onus is on the forces that carried out the attack to investigate it.

💬 “The criminal attack on the Shajare Tayebe school, which led to the deaths of 165 schoolgirls, was carried out from this base,” the IRGC said in a statement, as quoted by the Fars news agency.
