Still, many details about the blast remain elusive, as a lack of information from the #Pentagon & politicization of the attack by Iran’s theocracy have complicated independent reporting efforts. That has created an #accountability vacuum, leaving the families of the victims without resolution. Among the mysteries remaining are the number of munitions that hit the school & a complete list of the dead.

The AP has reconstructed the story of the attack, beginning in the schoolyard on the morning of Feb. 28, drawing from open-source information, video footage, human rights reports & interviews with researchers & civilians inside & outside #Iran to reveal previously unreported details about the bombing in #Minab, including the diversity of #children killed.

It was the deadliest reported strike in the #US - #Israel #war against #Iran. Most of the victims were #children.

Let’s See How This Ages: U.S.–Iran Policy Under Trump (June 27, 2025)

By WPS News Special Correspondents

As of June 27, 2025, President Donald Trump, inaugurated for a second term on January 20, has already taken the United States into direct military confrontation with Iran. On June 22, U.S. forces launched Operation Midnight Hammer, striking Iran’s nuclear sites at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan with B-2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles. This move followed Israeli raids on June 13 that targeted Iranian missile and nuclear infrastructure, escalating an already tense regional conflict.

The idea that “nothing will happen” is no longer plausible. Trump’s June 22 strikes were the first direct U.S. military attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, framed by the administration as necessary to “obliterate” Iran’s nuclear capacity and enforce red lines. Early reports show significant damage, but intelligence assessments suggest Iran’s program may only be set back by a few months. Iran’s scientific expertise and decentralized enrichment capabilities mean reconstruction is likely. Meanwhile, Trump declared the operation an overwhelming success and threatened “regime change” if Iran refused to make peace.

Iran responded on June 23 with missile and drone strikes against the U.S. Al Udeid airbase in Qatar, resulting in no confirmed American casualties. Trump quickly dismissed the attack as weak while simultaneously calling for Iran to negotiate. Global reaction was divided: U.N. Security Council members demanded restraint, while Israel praised the U.S. strikes as a vital defense of regional stability. The potential for further escalation remains high, with Iran threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz and warning of retaliatory action through regional proxies such as Hezbollah and the Houthis.

Looking ahead to the rest of 2025, my prediction is that Trump will continue along this escalatory path. At least one more U.S. strike is likely before December, whether through airpower, drones, or cyber operations, especially if Iran or its proxies strike U.S. forces or allies. Trump’s team will avoid large-scale ground deployments, but will pursue what they call “overwhelming deterrence.” Back-channel negotiations, possibly mediated by Oman or other Gulf states, will continue quietly in hopes of forcing Iran to limit enrichment, but prospects for a comprehensive deal look dim.

Meanwhile, Congress is increasingly divided. Republicans and some hawkish Democrats support Trump’s hard line, while Senate Democrats are calling for war-powers debates and formal authorization votes. There is real risk that the U.S. could slide into a sustained, low-level conflict with Iran’s regional network, even if Washington avoids formally declaring war. The Biden-era strategy of managing tensions through diplomacy and sanctions has been replaced by a high-risk military gamble that could reshape the Gulf balance of power.

If you’re reading this months or years later, consider: Did Trump’s initial strike prove decisive? Did it prevent Iran’s nuclear progress or provoke a wider war? Was there a second or third U.S. strike? Did Congress reassert control? The answers will reveal whether America’s 2025 Iran policy was a strategic masterstroke or another reckless plunge into Middle East chaos. Let’s see how this ages.

#CENTCOM said the military struck missile & drone locations & coastal radar sites.

The strikes came shortly after Trump told reporters, “You’ll find out,” whether the US would response to the drone attack.

Four months. A war sold to the public as four weeks has run four months — and the senators who are constitutionally supposed to authorize it still haven't been briefed on the memorandum he signed.

One of them, Cassidy, stood up and said so. The president told him to sit down. Twice. Then called him a lunatic, then a loser. Trump cant handle questions.

A $300 billion #private #fund [oh, JFC, another one of those] purportedly designed ​to trigger “investment” into #Iran is outlined in the #US-Iran framework agreement & more than half that sum has already been committed, a source with ‌direct knowledge told Reuters.

The fund is supposedly designed to give “both sides” an economic incentive to conclude a final deal….

Ummm, what was that old chestnut #Trump likes to trod out . . . “#PalletsOfCash”. Yeah, okay, sure, jackass.

Exclusive: #Iran “deal” includes $300 billion fund, more than half of which already committed, source says

[I’m not saying it isn’t owed, just pointing out the obvious #hypocrisy]

According to federal data released Monday, #US officials released another 8.9 million barrels from the #SPR last week alone.

That leaves the US #emergency #oil reserve with 340.3 million barrels of crude….

The last time the SPR had less oil than today was July 1983, when the Reagan admin was filling the reserve for the first time & when the US had a smaller #economy.
