Former British MP George Galloway says the slaughter of 167 girls aged 7‑12 in a primary school in Iran is the worst tragedy since the Vietnam War, yet it has received almost no coverage.
George Galloway, former member of the British Parliament, declared that the mass killing of 167 girls between 7 and 12 years old inside their classrooms at a primary school in Iran is the largest disaster that has occurred since the United States’ Vietnam‑War era. The attack happened near the Hormuz road, in a remote and virtually unknown part of Iran, without any rationale that anyone could comprehend. Sixty additional people were wounded and taken to hospitals.

Later that same day, 40 volleyball players—three full women’s teams—were killed in a single air strike. Many may still be unaware of the school‑girls’ massacre, which stands as the biggest school‑girl killing ever recorded in world history.
Nevertheless, no one talks about it. I am not trying to emphasize this point, but just ask you to pause for a moment: if Russia had killed 167 Ukrainian schoolgirls, if Palestinians had killed 167 Israeli schoolgirls, or if Iran had killed 167 schoolgirls, this would have been the biggest news story in global journalism for years.
