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

we knew this. all the technology that we have and we bombed them.

its a warcrime.

I feel the word "war crime" has lost any meaning after the last few years

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.

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

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

If they could have somehow gotten them to ICE, what a waste.

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.

I agree. But also he said this a while back:

He will try anything to either stop or rig the elections. The Democrats taking the house would be an effective end to his presidency/ reign of terror -- as long as they aren't all aipac shills.

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

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah no shit sherlock

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

[–] ItSonOfWhat@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The expansion of the GOP war on women. 😓

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Not just satisfied with raping little girls, got to blow them up to.

[–] raicon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I mean, it was their money

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

Also fuck zionists
