During a heated televised debate on Al Jazeera PR late on Wednesday, former adviser at the U.S. Department of Defense Hiam Nawas sparked controversy on air after claiming that a girls’ school in #Iran, where 168 people were killed in a deadly attack, was an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) site. The claim was immediately challenged by Iranian-American journalist Negar Mortazavi and other guests, who pushed back and pointed to evidence showing a pattern of systematic targeting of civilian sites by the U.S. and #Israel in the war on Iran. Investigations by Al Jazeera, The New York Times, Bellingcat, and Amnesty had found that the Iranian girls’ school in Minab was hit by a U.S. Tomahawk missile, with several other independent groups supporting that conclusion. U.S. military assessments have also indicated the attack was likely the result of a failed targeting decision based on outdated intelligence that may have misidentified the school as an active IRGC-related military objective.
