Iran official accuses US of double standards over helicopter crash and school attack
Following the US’s allegation that Tehran is responsible for the downing of a US army helicopter, Iranian official Ebrahim Rezaei contrasted that quick response with the Minab school attack, which killed more than 165 children and teachers.
“In just two days, the Pentagon and the White House concluded that the helicopter crash in the Strait of Hormuz was Iran’s doing,” Rezaei, spokesman for Iran’s parliamentary National Security Committee, said in a post on X.
“Yet 102 days have passed since the Minab school massacre, and the investigation into the killing of the Minab girls is still ongoing. When it comes to innocent little girls, the Epsteinian liars become this forgetful. Shame on you.”
In February, a double strike on a girls' school in Minab in southern Iran killed 165 people, mostly students aged seven to 12. Local officials say about 170 girls were at the school during the attack, which Iran attributes to the US and Israel.
A US military commander said last month that the investigation into the school strike has been “complex” given that it was located on an active Iranian cruise missile base, which Iran denies.
