| Trump denies the U.S. attack a school in Minab, Iran. |
The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28. The attack was shocking.
Iran warned that any aggressions against it will result in crucial damage globally.
The Iranians stood on business. They used their sovereignty to close the Strait of Hormuz and put over 20% of the world’s oil at risk. They knew that the U.S. will be weakened by the attack.
Now four months into those going into its fifth month, stalemate.
The Memorandum of Understanding is stalled because President Donald J. Trump is facing pressure from Republicans, Israel and conservative agitators. They are angry over this.
Iran is likely going to keep the strait closed indefinitely thanks to our president's curmudgeon behavior.
Trump basically stuck a middle finger in Iran's face. He is telling the world that the U.S. can do whatever it wants and you just got be compliant.
Think now if Iran decided to target schools in Maryland, California, Ohio, Nevada, Kentucky, Florida, Virginia, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina and New York.
Some of the U.S. largest military bases are in these states. Schools are nearby.
If Iranians thought like Israelis or Americans and decided to target schools.

These warhawks are angry about it.
Terrorism is now becoming a term of colonialism. When people resist colonialism, imperialism, theft of their resources, rejection of religious inclusion and Western narratives, the U.S. and many others call it terrorism.

| The U.S. and Israel will not continue on unpunished. |
That word is mostly reserved for people who are not white, Christian or Jewish.
The U.S. and Israel will never stop killing people. The world is realizing that all these attacks on individuals the two claim as terrorists are not sticking with the world.
The world is tired of the gaslighting from the U.S. and Israel. It is time to stop believing their bullshit.
The children in Minab will never be forgotten. Thanks Google and Middle East Monitor.
Trump said on Wednesday it may never be known who was at fault for a deadly strike on a girls' school in Iran on February 28, the first day of the Iran war, that killed scores of children.
Reuters first reported in March that an initial internal U.S. military investigation showed U.S. forces were likely responsible for the fatal strike in Minab in southern Iran. The Pentagon has since elevated the probe but it has not acknowledged any preliminary findings.
"I don't know that they are ever going to solve that problem," Trump told reporters.
"I don't know that they are ever going to solve that problem in terms of whose fault was it because there were missiles flying all over the place, and it's horrible what happened but there were missiles flying all over the place," he said.
"Somebody said it was our missile, maybe it wasn't our missile but I have seen nothing to lead me to believe it was," Trump remarked, adding: "I don't think it was us."
The strike on February 28, when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, killed more than 175 children and teachers, according to Iranian officials.
The strike may be the result of U.S. use of outdated targeting data, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters in March.
Deliberately attacking a school would likely be a war crime under international humanitarian law. U.S. officials have publicly said Washington would not deliberately target a school.
The strike caused global outrage. The U.N. human rights office called it "absolutely horrific."
Trump initially claimed, without evidence, Iran was responsible. He has since said he does not know enough about the strike, that an investigation is ongoing, that he will accept the results of the inquiry and that "nobody" purposefully attacked the school.
