"'The way Iranian children killed in an elementary school are covered is very different than if another country had done the same thing. The dehumanization of societies is what eventually leads to these wars.'"

"During a discussion hosted by Senator Bernie Sanders, Iranian journalist and analyst Negar Mortazavi criticized what she described as uneven coverage of the conflict in the United States media.

'Mainstream media is not covering this objectively enough.'"

"Undaunted, undistracted reporters do not aim to create 'balance' between lies and truth or between a pro-democracy party and a cult. Armed with facts, they can ferret out lies and hold the government accountable, which in turn preserves a free press, objective truth, and, therefore, democracy itself."

Undaunted

Reporting on Trump need not be wishy-washy

^{Jennifer Rubin (The Contrarian)}

"It was dogged reporting by U.S. and international journalists using open-source intelligence — 'geolocated videos, public statements from U.S. officials and the assessment of munitions experts' — that uncovered the growing evidence that it was the U.S. military that launched not one, but two Tomahawk missiles at the school."

How U.S. Media Uncovered the Truth about the Iran School Strike

Dogged investigative news reporting has revealed the U.S. role in the deadly school bombing—but you won't hear much about that from Trump-friendly media.

^{Jennifer Schulze (Lincoln Square)}

"The BBC found no evidence of a separate Iranian-fired missile landing at the site. Despite this, Trump doubled down, saying: 'Numerous other nations have Tomahawks. They buy them from us.'”

"Parents who had sent their daughters to school discovered minutes later that classrooms had become mass graves. ...

On Monday, a BBC investigation produced evidence of multiple US Tomahawk missiles fired and landing in the vicinity of the school, hitting, they believe, the school itself, as well as a medical clinic reportedly belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)."

"The killing of a reported 168 people, primarily schoolgirls, in the bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab in Iran has shaken to its very core the conscience of the world.

The attack, carried out nearly two weeks ago when classes were under way, reduced the school building to rubble."

Children killed, a school turned into a graveyard: even in wartime, we can’t accept this

There are rules and world leaders must insist they be honoured in practice and in spirit. After this atrocity in Iran, a more effective tribunal for crimes against children is essential, says former prime minister Gordon Brown

"Today, that story collapsed.

Reuters, NPR, CNN, PBS NewsHour, and the New York Times all independently confirmed the same preliminary finding from an internal US military investigation: a US Tomahawk struck the school, likely because the Pentagon was using outdated targeting data."

"For nearly two weeks, the US said it wasn’t responsible [for the killing of Iranian schoolchildren in Minab]. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that it was 'done by Iran' and called Tomahawk missiles 'very generic.' Defense Secretary Hegseth said the US 'never targets civilians.' The White House said anyone claiming otherwise was being 'irresponsible and false.'”
