Former US Marine and activist Ken O’Keefe has sharply criticized Washington while standing at the ruins of the Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab, Iran, where Iranian media say 168 people — many of them children — were killed during the US-Israeli assault on February 28. O’Keefe challenged Americans to imagine how the US would react if Iranian missiles killed American schoolchildren, accusing Washington of hypocrisy and spreading lies about the strike. The emotional remarks have intensified global outrage over civilian casualties and renewed scrutiny of US military actions in Iran.
