The Iranian school bombing

I am writing this on 3/13/2026 after reading and watching several sources on the American Air strike on the Iranian girl's school resulting in the deaths of approximately 165 individuals, the majority of whom were innocent children. This horrifying incident has been linked to a broader campaign of airstrikes initiated under the Trump administration, which had previously escalated military tensions with Iran. The U.S. military's involvement in this attack has been confirmed through investigations, revealing a shocking disregard for civilian life in an operation that was ostensibly aimed at Iranian military installations. Such actions raise profound ethical questions about the decision-making processes during the Trump presidency, which often prioritized aggressive military strategies over diplomatic solutions.

In the aftermath of the bombing, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has faced intense scrutiny as the U.S. government launched an internal investigation into the circumstances surrounding this catastrophic event. The fact that the school, located near an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base, was targeted reflects a reckless approach to military engagement that characterized Trump's tenure in office. Critics have pointed out that the administration's cavalier attitude toward military operations, particularly in civilian areas, has led to unnecessary loss of life and suffering. This incident serves as a grim reminder of the consequences of prioritizing military might over humanitarian considerations.

As investigations unfold, there is an urgent need for accountability and a reassessment of the military strategies employed during the Trump presidency. Lawmakers and human rights advocates are calling for a thorough examination of how such tragedies can be avoided in the future, emphasizing the necessity of stringent protocols to protect civilian populations. This bombing not only highlights the inherent dangers of military actions in densely populated areas but also underscores the urgent need for a shift in U.S. foreign policy, moving away from the aggressive posturing that marked the Trump administration and toward a more honorable and diplomatic approach in dealing with Iran and other global conflicts.

Now that the facts are laid out for all to see, here's my opinion. I'm a veteran and I come from a family of veterans going back all the way to the revolution and before that even. I was always taught that the reason we as Americans always won wars and were always the good guys in those wars was because we were the ones who valued Human life, not just our own lives but even our enemies. Apparently, the politicians and the new and modern National defense apparatus do not share this belief. The intentional killing of children is something I was told only terrorists would do.

This school bombing happened after Iran burned a statue of Baal, the ancient deity of child sacrifice. Which was labeled an act of anti-semitic by Israel. 

As world opinion turns on Americans and increasing amounts of U.S citizens are attacked overseas we should expect foreign nations to disregard the value of our own lives thanks to the actions of this administration and the past several administrations.
