Minab: Precise and Wrong

On February 28, 2026, a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile struck the Shajareh-Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, Iran. According to Iranian figures, at least 156 schoolgirls, teachers, and parents were killed. Washington points to outdated targeting data and calls it a tragic mistake. But the available evidence tells a far more troubling story: debris analysis, satellite imagery, Western weapons experts, congressional testimony, and legal assessments all point not to a weapon malfunction, but to a targeting-system failure. This analysis reconstructs what happened in Minab, why the official explanation does not hold, and why the case matters far beyond Iran: as a precedent for AI-assisted warfare, obsolete intelligence data, and the unresolved question of who is accountable when precision weapons hit precisely the wrong target.

Ukraine-Russia-Insight: Starobilsk and Kiew – What Really Happened

On the night of May 23-24, 2026, Western media reported a massive Russian strike on Kyiv. What was largely missing from the coverage: three days earlier, a student dormitory in Starobilsk had been hit, young people were killed, Russia announced retaliation - and then acted. This article reconstructs the Starobilsk-Kyiv chain of events, separates documented facts from unresolved questions, and shows how selective reporting on both sides turns war coverage into propaganda.
