All parties are expected to protect civilians. Iran were obligated to move non-combatants, especially children, out of immediate danger zones around military targets. They didn't do that. Instead the school was packed with kids while US military is parked outside, tensions higher than ever. Iranian authorities failed their own people. Again.
Having a school near or in a military base is not unreasonable. Those that serve on the base often live in or near the base and may have children who should be able to go to school near where they live.
Using a surplus former military building for a school is reasonable too; building new buildings has a cost, and reusing an excess building is good stewardship.
The attacks on Iran began at 9:45 am and the school was first attacked at 11:22 am. It takes time for leadership to understand the situation and issue evacuation orders, and it takes time for evacuation orders to be followed. It seems the onsite school leadership had decided at 11 am to leave, but like I said, it takes time to communicate with parents and have children picked up, etc.

> Iranian authorities failed their own people. Again.
Killing children with taxpayer money vs evacuating a school was part of a military base more than 8 years ago. It is clear what government is failing their people, and it isn't Iran in this context.
All I’m hearing you say is retribution would be accepted on schools at bases in the U.S., because shooting first and asking questions later is acceptable behavior.
I've seen the satellite images. You could probably throw a baseball from the compound to the school.
If Iran's navy were stationed off the Florida coast and their commanders making threats, US authorities would remove children from the schools near military bases. Wouldn't they?
