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.

many countries have schools close to or nearby or in military bases.

America for example: https://dodea.widen.net/s/hnzlgvtmvq/dodea-by-the-numbers

its a warcrime.

    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.

    A shame for the GOP. I'm sure they regret the loss of potential child trafficking victims.

    Regardless of who did it, it is a disgusting war crime.

    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?

    I’m fairly certain that war can’t stop elections in the US, from a constitutional standpoint.

    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.

    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

    I appreciate you commenting this on all relevant posts. I see almost nothing about this school bombing on the news or even on social media. We need to talk about this until the people responsible are charged with crimes.

    So when is the Untied States going to arrest itself?

    Article is kind of a nothing burger and the headline is very misleading.

    It just says no evidence has been revealed but that hypothetically such evidence could exist.

    It doesn't matter which fascist it was. The murder of thousands of children are on the American and Israeli Nazi parties hands.

    Add it to the millions of people they've killed in the last century of imperialism.

    It kind of does matter who did it so we know who to punish for it. I'm not gonna resign myself to evil on earth in the hopes that sky fairy sorts them out later.

    If Iran did this then thats just more evidence we need to expend resources removing the regime from power.

    If Israel did this then we need to issue more arrest warrants for Israeli leadership and end trade and defence subsidies for them.

    If the USA did this then they need trial.
