🎥 WATCH: On Feb 28, Tomahawk missiles struck a school in Minab, killing at least 156 people, including 120 children — one of the gravest U.S. war crimes since Vietnam. @jeremyscahill, @MazMHussain & @SayahTweets spent two months speaking with survivors. This is their story.

Gaza’s Greek Orthodox Church held funeral services today for Maysa Daoud and her daughter, Mary, who were killed while sleeping when an Israeli strike hit their apartment in western Gaza City, according to Gaza’s Civil Defense. Civil Defence said five civilians, including three women and a child, were killed in the strike, and shared footage of its crews joining members of Gaza’s Christian community at the funeral for the victims.

5 Palestinians killed, including child Maria Al-Najjar and her mother, and 6 wounded and hospitalized after an Israeli strike on an apartment in Gaza City on Saturday morning.

🎥 WATCH: Massacre at Minab: The School That Became a Grave In the opening hours of the war against Iran, on February 28, 2026, the U.S. military fired Tomahawk cruise missiles directly at a school in the southern city of Minab. At least 156 people were killed that morning at Shajareh Tayyebeh school—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. It will go down in history as one of the gravest war crimes committed by the U.S. government since Vietnam. Drop Site News conducted a two-month investigation into the strike, speaking with survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day. This is their story. youtu.be/9OmK0oeq5fc?si=x59v…

🧵Massacre at Minab: The School That Became a Grave

In the first hours of the Iran war, the U.S. struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, killing at least 156 people, including 120 children and 26 teachers. What happened on February 28 will go down in history as one of the single worst massacres committed by the U.S. government since the Vietnam War.  Survivors, first responders, parents and witnesses told @jeremyscahill, @MazMHussain & @SayahTweets their stories ⤵️

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026. At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day. It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Listen to this Israeli military analyst speak in English to an IDF spokesman, where they boast that the law they just got Trump and Congress to enact to mandate greater "cooperation" between the US and Israeli militaries will tie the hands of a future US President whom Americans elect to stop aiding Israel. They also say that Trump's obligation with the time he has left is to merge these specific joint US/Israeli military programs as aggressively and rapidly as possible, to make it as difficult as possible for it to ever be undone by the US democratically:

🇮🇱 Israeli PM Netanyahu secretly met UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed on Sunday and asked him to deny that he warned Netanyahu of a major Hamas attack days before October 7, a source with firsthand knowledge told Haaretz. Haaretz reported this month that bin Zayed spent 45 minutes on the phone with Netanyahu about ten days before October 7, explicitly warning that Yahya Sinwar was planning a major operation. Netanyahu reportedly said Hamas was focused on the West Bank and never briefed his security chiefs. The New York Times has since confirmed the warning. Netanyahu calls the report an "absolute lie" and has threatened to sue. He also denies reports by The Atlantic and The Wall Street Journal that Egypt's intelligence chief repeatedly warned him too.

The Guardian reports FM Araghchi is waiting in the US over the weekend for Washington’s response to Iran’s 7-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The FM said China is fully on-board and reporting suggests Saudi Arabia could likely endorse the plan as well. The kingdom was already set to approve the new Iran-Omani Strait of Hormuz routes and agreement earlier this month before new attacks from Yemen contributed to Saudi Arabia pulling out of the planned conference. The Guardian also said Araghchi told reporters Iran’s 7 preconditions were not new, and were included in the Islamabad memorandum of understanding (MOU) that was previously signed by Trump.

Did these countries also condemn the war on Iran that began by attacks on a school full of children?

Annual meeting with Iran’s president Pezeshkian and FM Araghchi on the sidelines of UNGA. Iran sent proposal to US via mediators, conditions all based on MOU. If the US accepts, Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz a week later. Iran prefers it asap even before US elections.

⚡️🎥 Delegations walk out of the UN General Assembly as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court over war crimes in Gaza, takes the podium:

My friend @HosseinHamdieh has written a perceptive op-ed in the Guardian about the ways that war has changed public sentiments in Iran. "One can witness the birth of a strong dislike for the US, alongside a growing desire to build Iran back better. There is a wider sense that this war is clarifying something." theguardian.com/commentisfre…

It took almost half a century and a series of catastrophic wars in the Middle East for the Gulf states to realize that their security should primarily be based on a security architecture together with countries in the region - through dialogue, trust building and cooperation- and not to rely on foreign powers which invariably work in their own self interest… and more importantly that Iran is -and will remain- their neighbor and a necessary component of any sustainable regional security arrangement. I Hope - as I have been calling for decades- that the rest of the Arab countries also recognize - unfortunately through bitter experience- that a credible regional security regime among all countries of the region, including Turkey, is the best way for peace and stability in the Middle East (subject of course to the end of Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories and the establishment of a Middle East nuclear weapons free zone.

How the Israeli war propaganda machine generated AI video of "Iranian women" for western saviours.

So @SecScottBessent is stating that he will "shut down" all Iranian airlines on September 23. What he hasn't explained is how this advances U.S. national security. What we know is that this is an attack on Iranian healthcare supply chains. Over 60% of Iranian medical imports arrive by air. Of this total, around one-third are “medicaments containing hormones,” a category which includes insulin for treatment of diabetes and certain cancer treatments. Just over 10% are vaccines, both for human and veterinarian use. Another 6% includes blood products used to treat infections or support clotting. Bessent's move threatens the health of ordinary Iranians. To what end? bourseandbazaar-substack.org…

Retired Lt. Col. Daniel Davis jokes about Trump’s claim that Washington could reach a deal with Iran “anytime we want.” University of Chicago political scientist John Mearsheimer replied Trump was technically right: Washington could secure a deal by conceding to all of Tehran’s demands. @DanielLDavis1 | @MearsheimerJ
