The United States is now determined to be the perpetrator behind the Feb. 28 bombing of an Iranian’s girl’s school, according to an internal U.S. military investigation reported by the New York Times. The bombing comes amidst continued U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran. 

The strike killed 150 students at this school. According to United Nations News, UNESCO put out a statement that “attacks against educational institutions endanger students and teachers and undermine the right to education.” Many United Nations officials and individuals across the United Nations system have come out to condemn the attacks, including the United Nations Messenger of Peace Malala Yousafzai. From a statement Yousafzai released on X, she wrote, “I am heartbroken and appalled by the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, including reports that a girls’ school in southern Iran was hit, resulting in the injury and death of many girls. The killing of civilians, especially children, is unconscionable, and I condemn it unequivocally.” 

The United States’ careless actions of bombing the Iranian girl’s school is a representation of the lack of caution, awareness, and care for the treatment of people. There is no will for empathy from this administration.  

The reason for the U.S. and Israel launching strikes against Iran was due to nuclear threats Iran posed against Israel, as well as to lead to the goal of regime changes. There is no way of knowing how long the war will last, but President Trump is prepared for whatever it takes to take down the Iranian regime.  

President Trump promised no wars for our country, but now we have become the catalyst, hurting those who have done no harm and involving ourselves in a conflict that could bring detrimental effects to the future of the nation. What could happen? What will Iran do next? How must we keep ourselves safe at this time? All answers are unknown.
