Iran blamed two US naval officers for the attack on the girls' school in Minab, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 170 children, and revealed their names. The US stated that the attack may have occurred due to mis-targeting, while Tehran described the incident as a "war crime."
Iran made a striking accusation regarding the attack on a girls' primary school in the city of Minab. The Tehran administration pointed to two U.S. Navy officers as responsible for the attack, sharing their names and photos with the public.
THEY TARGETED TWO U.S. OFFICERS
In a statement made by Iran's Embassy in South Africa, it was claimed that Commander Leigh R. Tate and Executive Officer Jeffrey E. York, who are serving on the USS Spruance, ordered the launch of Tomahawk missiles. The post included the phrase, "Remember these two criminals."
"168 CHILDREN LOST THEIR LIVES"
It was reported that between 168 and 170 people, mostly children, lost their lives in the attack. Iranian officials argued that the attack was carried out directly targeting a school.
IRAN: WAR CRIME
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi described the attack that occurred on February 28 as a "calculated attack," accusing the U.S. of committing "war crimes and crimes against humanity."
U.S. SAID "IRAN IS RESPONSIBLE"
U.S. President Donald Trump had claimed that Iran was responsible for the attack. However, a report in the New York Times, based on a U.S. military investigation, stated that a Tomahawk missile belonging to the U.S. hit the school due to mis-targeting.
CLAIM OF WRONG COORDINATES
The report indicated that the U.S. military targeted the Iranian base adjacent to the school, but the target coordinates were determined using outdated data. The report also mentioned that the building had previously been used as a military base.
