A European parliamentarian has called for an investigation into the US-Israeli massacre of Minab schoolgirls, saying it could well have been a planned strike.
The US and Israel launched an unprovoked war on Iran on February 28, killing 168 children and teachers in airstrikes on the Minab School in southern Iran on the first day of the war.
The attack on the school in Minab must be investigated, said Milan Uhrik, a member of the European Parliament.
Speaking at a funeral rally titled Angels of Minab, held outside the Iranian embassy in Brussels, the MEP said he suspected that the attack was carried out deliberately.
Uhrik said it is obvious to everyone what the Israeli regime is capable of doing.
He cited the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as an example of what the Israeli regime forces are doing to civilians.
Uhrik said the attacks targeting Lebanese children, women, and the elderly are other examples of the Israeli forces' brutality.
The Israelis are capable of attacking civilians, intimidating people, spreading fear among the population, and thus trying to win the war by any means, Uhrik said, reiterating that the attack on the Minab school could well have been a planned strike that should be investigated.
According to Uhrik, the Minab school airstrikes constitute a war crime, and the European Union and European countries should not be involved in such criminal actions.
He said that he had sent a letter to the European Commission in this regard.
The Slovak politician slammed the European Commission and European leaders for applying double standards to such crimes.
He said the Europeans try to avoid probes into these crimes because they are weak, adding that European leaders are not capable of showing resistance against the aggressive policies dictated by Washington and Tel Aviv.
However, the war on Iran is triggering widespread international condemnation and exposing deep cracks in the Western alliance.
About 50 activists came to express their solidarity with the people of Iran during the funeral rally in Brussels.
