DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) The death toll in an Israeli-U.S. strike on a girls school in southern Iran rises to at least 40, the state-run IRNA news agency reported.
At least 45 others were wounded in the attack in Minab in Irans Hormozgan province.
Irans paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has a base in the city.
Neither the U.S. nor Israel has offered any details on the campaign so far.

I'm sure Netanyahu is thrilled. He has now dragged the US into his war against Iran. If there were an international prize for starting wars and the illegal murders of people in small boats, Trump would win it easily.

.. ICE kills 3 people in cold blood
2 in Minneapolis and 1 in Texas, drop off a blind man in Buffalo in the winter, get America
into Irans leadership issues, steal Venezuelas oil @ gun point, sell that oil, and put that
money into some Middle Eastern bank under Dons control, kill over 130 people from the
Caribbean or South America by blowing up their small boats, spread measles
. see Helen
Keller who went blind and deaf because of a now preventable childhood disease, stop a
treaty that stopped Iran from ever building a nuclear weapon and then attack Iran for not
following the treaty, be part of an international child sex trafficking ring, beat and arrest
American people for protesting against evil, dirty elections, drop USAID, Stephen Miller
..

I do not believe that the invasion of Venezuela was about drugs or oil (except to stop the oil going to Cuba). Since Venzuela was a very large silver ore exporter that was usually refined in China, I think there was a vault raid planned for Venezuela like what happened in Baghdad at the start of that war. But the rumors are is that Maduro shipped their inventory to Switzerland and Shanghai way before the invasion.

(12 posts)While murdering school girls and innocent civilians on behalf of Israel, Dear Leader will declare that every terrorist sleeper cell in the US and every Middle East terrorist state will awaken and wage war in the US. Terrorists will rig the vote and bomb polling places. An election cannot be held in such an unstable environment.
Or some such hogwash.
Iran is a nuclear threat in his small mind because of his own stupidity in withdrawing from the multinational treaty and failure to obliterate its facilities.
