Iran MP blasts US for quick blame on copter crash, silence on school massacre

A senior Iranian parliament lawmaker has censured the United States for exercising double standards when it comes to treating incidents that have occurred during the US-Israeli war of aggression on Iran.

Ebrahim Rezaei, a member and spokesman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said on Wednesday that the US government’s quick blaming of Iran after a US army helicopter crashed earlier this week in the Persian Gulf was a clear case of double standards.

Azizi said the US government and military have yet to admit their role in a brutal attack on a school in southern Iran on the first day of aggression on February 28 that killed more than 165 people, mostly school girls and their teachers.

“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,” said the lawmaker in a post on his X account.

“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 said.

Iran blasts CENTCOM's 'shameless distortion' on Minab school massacre

Iran’s foreign ministry has lambasted CENTCOM’s account on the Minab school massacre as "baseless."

US government and military officials sought to deny their role in the attack on the school in Minab in the early days of the war of aggression on Iran.

However, reports published later showed the US military had directly hit the Minab school with Tomahawk missiles, causing a catastrophe that sparked massive global condemnation.

Some officials in the White House and in the Pentagon, including US President Donald Trump and war secretary Pete Hegseth, even sought to blame Iran for the attack on the school girls.

Iranian authorities have said that the downing of the US helicopter in the Persian Gulf has not been a result of Iranian fire, saying, however, that foreign forces stationed near the Iranian borders could risk suffering such incidents because of their illegal presence in the region.
