Iranian media highlights growing outrage within the United States Congress following the bombing of a school in Minab, Iran, with lawmakers demanding the impeachment of Donald Trump and the firing of his Minister of War after 175 people, mostly young girls, were killed.
Iranian media outlets are widely reporting on severe political backlash within the United States government following the deadly strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. According to خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, a sensationalist channel focusing on breaking military news, United States Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has publicly demanded that Trump must be impeached. Tlaib stated that the Trump administration, after initially lying about the attack on the Minab school, confirmed that it had bombed the Iranian school, killing 175 people, predominantly girls.
In her statements, Tlaib further demanded that Trump's Minister of War, Pete Hegseth, must be fired and that the administration must answer in international courts for its heinous war crimes. This narrative was echoed across multiple domestic networks, including آخرین خبر لرستان, a regional news channel, which amplified the assertion that initial investigations say that America is culpable in the attack on a school in Iran.
In the upper chamber of the US Congress, 46 Democratic senators have sent a formal letter to the American Minister of War demanding rapid investigations into the incident. The Iranian state-aligned and hardline news agency فارس بینالملل و سیاست خارجی noted that the senators' letter highlights that "most of the victims were girls aged 7 to 12". According to the agency, the senators formally asked the Minister of War of the Donald Trump administration whether American forces carried out the attack, what actions the military is taking to prevent civilian casualties, and whether artificial intelligence tools were utilized in the operation.
The Iranian sources consistently translate the US Secretary of Defense's title as 'Minister of War' (وزیر جنگ) and present US officials' statements through this localized rhetorical lens. The narrative heavily emphasizes the civilian nature of the casualties (specifically young girls) and frames the US administration's actions as deliberate war crimes and lies, relying on statements from US Democratic opposition to validate the Iranian perspective on the attack.
