Nearly four months after the U.S. airstrike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran, which killed more than 150 people, including 120 children, Amnesty International USA’s National Director for Government Relations & Advocacy, Amanda Klasing, said:
“It’s been four months since the deadliest U.S. airstrike against civilians in recent memory, yet we are no closer to getting answers from U.S. authorities about why this happened and who was responsible. What is taking so long? The public and the victims’ families must have transparency and accountability, and families must get truth, justice and reparations.
“President Trump has given contradictory statements, the Pentagon is stonewalling Congress, and lawmakers and the public are growing increasingly frustrated by the rote response of Secretary Hegseth and others that the incident is still under investigation.
What we do know is this: the U.S. military was responsible for killing over 150 people in an attack with precision-guided Tomahawk missiles on a school packed with children.
