"Using Tomahawk missiles developed and produced with the taxes that you and I pay, the United States executed a double-tap strike—a tactic designed to kill emergency responders—that murdered at least 168 people. Most of the victims torn apart by these US bombs were 7-to-12-year olds."
"The scene of the massacre was described with children's bodies lying partly visible under the rubble, a very small child's severed arm being pulled from the debris."
"Trump's nihilistic war on Iran is not the first disaster that's made me think the United States might be a baddie. My first time cursing our government was when George W. Bush officially killed the Kyoto climate treaty."
"These counterpoints are exactly what the Trump regime has spent the last year stripping away—ending lifesaving international aid programs, clawing back the Inflation Reduction Act's climate investments."
A missile strike by the U.S. on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, Iran, resulted in the deaths of at least 168 people, primarily children aged 7 to 12. The attack utilized Tomahawk missiles and employed a double-tap tactic aimed at emergency responders. The aftermath revealed horrific scenes, including children's bodies under rubble. The author reflects on the moral implications of U.S. actions, comparing them to a comedic sketch questioning whether they are the 'baddies' in global conflicts, and expresses concern over the erosion of the country's redeeming qualities under the Trump administration.
