Iranian Girls’ School:
The U.S. Military Killed Kids

March 16, 2026

On February 28, young Iranian girls between the ages of 7 and 12 were studying when U.S. Tomahawk Cruise missiles hit their school. Missile fragments at the site confirm the weaponry. This school no longer exists. Many children and teachers died as a roof collapsed on them. In all, 165 were killed and 95 wounded.

Located in the city of Minab, the Good Tree School was near a key Iranian Naval hub, overseeing the economically strategic Strait of Hormuz.

Trump has blamed Iran. He said to reporters, “In my opinion, based on what I’ve seen—that was done by Iran.… They are very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions.” Adding, “A Tomahawk is very generic. It’s sold to other countries.

Reporters tracked down that this missile has NOT been sold to Iran by the U.S. It is only sold to Britain, Australia and the Netherlands.

A U.S. Pentagon investigation of the bombing is “preliminary” and “ongoing.” Already confirmed by the Pentagon are two facts. First, the weapon was a U.S. Cruise Missile. Second, the elementary school WAS on the approved target list, but was misidentified as a “factory.”

The investigation is “preliminary” because the Pentagon says it is still determining if the current use of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) played a role in the error of targeting an elementary school. And, in addition, exactly what “human error” was involved.

Trump may deny it, but the Pentagon has admitted that the U.S. government killed a school full of young Iranian children.
