In this RedState article, the author examines how major media outlets quickly reported that U.S.–Israel strikes hit a girls’ school in Iran despite relying largely on unverified claims from Iranian state media.
- Several mainstream outlets, including ABC News, the Associated Press, and The New York Times, reported that a school in Minab, Iran was struck, citing Iranian government sources.
- Early casualty figures — including reports of dozens of student deaths — originated from Iranian state media and were widely repeated before independent confirmation.
- U.S. Central Command acknowledged the reports but did not confirm that U.S. or Israeli forces struck a school.
- The article argues that wartime reporting frequently includes misinformation, especially when sourced from hostile regimes.
- It raises the possibility that alternative explanations, such as an Iranian rocket misfire, have not been ruled out.
- The author criticizes media outlets for using definitive language like “strike” without verified attribution.
- The piece suggests the press applied less skepticism to Iranian claims than they might in other geopolitical contexts.
