Former US Marine and activist Ken O'Keefe delivered a fiery speech from the ruins of the Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab, Iran, sharply criticizing Washington's military actions. Iranian media report that 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.
O'Keefe's Emotional Remarks
Standing amid the rubble, O'Keefe said, 'Imagine dead kids. Imagine if Iranian missiles killed your children. How would you react?' He accused the US government of double standards and called the attack a 'war crime.' His emotional words have intensified global outrage over civilian casualties and renewed scrutiny of US military actions in Iran.
Global Reactions
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation. Human rights organizations have called for an independent investigation. O'Keefe's video has gone viral, with many sharing it on social media to highlight the human cost of the conflict. Some US officials have dismissed the claims as propaganda, but the images from Minab have fueled anti-war sentiment.
O'Keefe, known for his activism against US military interventions, urged Americans to question their government's narrative. 'You are being lied to,' he said. 'This is not about protecting anyone. It's about power and control.' The speech has added to the growing debate over US foreign policy in the Middle East.
