ON FEBRUARY 28, just over a week before International Women’s Day, the US and Israel launched an unlawful and illegal war on Iran.On the very first morning of the war, while children sat at their desks at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, three missiles struck the building. It was a “triple-tap” — a second strike designed to kill those who survived the first, and a third to ensure no rescue.

The mass killing of Iranian schoolgirls should have dominated global headlines. Instead it became another example of how civilians — especially women and children — are targeted in war, writes CLAUDIA WEBBE
