Las pruebas de que EE.UU bombardeó la escuela de niñas de Irán
Summary
A missile attack on a girls' school in southern Iran resulted in the deaths of 168 people, primarily children aged 7 to 12. The incident occurred on February 28 during a military offensive by the United States and Israel. Initial speculation surrounded the authorship of the attack, with various parties being accused.
Satellite images and a revealing have emerged, suggesting that U.S. forces were responsible for the bombing. These images indicate that missiles targeted the area surrounding the school, which was located near a military installation of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
Claims of misidentification by U.S. forces have been raised, with military experts suggesting that the school may have been mistakenly viewed as a legitimate target. However, the evidence points to a deliberate attack on a civilian site, raising serious ethical and legal questions.
The U.S. Department of Defense has initiated an internal investigation into the incident, while the UN's human rights office has indicated that if confirmed, the attack could constitute a war crime. Historical context shows that such incidents often go unpunished, despite international law stipulating accountability for war crimes.
