In Iran, under ongoing US-Israeli attacks, a mass funeral took place today for 168 Iranian schoolgirls aged 7-12, killed by an Israeli airstrike on February 28.<\/p>\n
The strike hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls\u2019 primary school in Minab, southern Iran, in broad daylight, when the children were at school.\u00a0Fourteen teachers<\/a>\u00a0were also killed in the bombing. The bombing occurred as part of US-Israeli attacks sadistically dubbed \u2018Operation Epic Fury\u2019, attacks which have to date targeted schools,\u00a0hospitals<\/a>, residential areas and other civilian infrastructure.<\/p>\n It was\u00a0a scene<\/a>\u00a0all too familiar to Palestinians: grief-stricken parents collapsing sobbing at the site of their daughters\u2019 murders, clutching bloodstained backpacks, pulling out schoolbooks and personal items of their slain daughters. Children\u2019s desks covered in debris from the bombing. A child\u2019s shoe in the rubble. Death where life had flourished.<\/p>\n None of this is being conveyed by Western legacy media \u2013 only ghoulish gloating over the US-Israeli bombardment of Iran and the murder of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran\u2019s supreme leader, and his young granddaughter and children.<\/p>\n On March 2, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi\u00a0posted<\/a>\u00a0a photo of the graves being dug on X, noting,\u00a0\u201cThese 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 \u201crescue\u201d promised by Mr. Trump looks in reality. From Gaza to Minab, innocents murdered in cold blood.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n At the time of this writing, 69 of the murdered girls remain\u00a0unidentified<\/a>.<\/p>\n
