Sadly true, when it comes to US bombings, it does seem to be women and children first.

Right at the start of America's war with Iran, something went very, very wrong.

We can say that with even more clarity as the first news team from outside Iran to reach where it happened....

It was by any measure an abomination and almost certainly the work of the US military.

The missiles fired at the school on the first day of the war were US Tomahawks. Only America had been targeting numerous sites in the area that day.

Disgracefully, President Trump's first reaction to the atrocity at Minab was an obvious falsehood. It was Iran's fault, he said. They also use Tomahawks. But they don't.

A preliminary US investigation is reported to have concluded this was an American mistake. But that has not been confirmed publicly. Officially, all the Trump administration has said for almost three months now is that it's "under investigation".

Past incidents of mass civilian casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan produced a public admission of responsibility from the Americans within days, at most, a few weeks.

Whatever else the US military was targeting in the area that day, this was a primary school that had been, for more than 10 years, marked clearly on maps.

If it was deliberately targeted, that would be a war crime. If it was misidentified, that potentially is also a breach of the rules of war.

America's reputation is at stake, but so are the lives of more innocent civilians in future. So far, the Pentagon appears to be foot-dragging...
