It has not been debunked, at all. All of the news articles I found say the same things.

ASPECT	DETAILS
Incident Date	February 28, 2026
Location	Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School, Minab, Hormozgan Province, Iran
Casualties	Reports indicate over 160 deaths, predominantly among children, although exact numbers remain unverified.
Initially Blamed	President Trump incorrectly suggested that Iran was responsible for the bombing.
Evidence of Responsibility	Multiple sources now indicate that the bombing was likely caused by U.S. airstrikes. Reports highlight that satellite images and expert analysis support this claim, with evidence showing the school was hit during a broader military operation.
Misidentification of Target	The school, previously part of an Iranian Revolutionary Guard naval base, may have been misidentified in outdated intelligence. Claims suggest the U.S. did not knowingly target the school but believed it was a military site.
Pentagon Response	The Pentagon has launched a formal investigation into the bombing. U.S. officials have indicated that the U.S. is "likely" responsible for the attack, suggesting it was not intentional.
Iranian Government's Stance	The Iranian government has consistently blamed the U.S. and Israel for the airstrike. They have not claimed responsibility for the bombing but have condemned it as an act of aggression.
Debunked Claims	Some claims circulating on social media that Iran admitted to the bombing have been fact-checked and found to be false. The Iranian regime has not confessed to bombing its own schools.

I was told that Iranians are told to stay inside their homes while bombings occur. Of course some colateral deaths may happen 
But they are tired of a Islamic regime that has killed and crippled thousands of people in January and in 47 years of opression

Note for my self: this is being hidden in some biased media but at the same time is becoming clearer 
All this is creating a religious havoc around the world 
I think it’s creating the perfect atmosphere for GT

 

You have to grant the possibility that that viewpoint is propaganda created by the West to give the impression they are "liberating" Iran instead of "invading" Iran. We don't really know how the Iranian people feel or what solution they would choose.

Peter Thiel, the U.S. billionaire venture capitalist and early supporter of President Donald Trump, launched on Sunday a series of closed-door lectures in Rome exploring the concept of the ‌Antichrist...

 

...Last year he held a ⁠similar series of talks in San Francisco exploring the possibility that the Antichrist - a figure who opposes or denies Christ - could emerge on the global stage.

In particular, Thiel has said he is wary that an Antichrist will emerge who will create a one-world government on the promise of something like stopping nuclear, AI or climate-induced disaster.

 

Thiel, 58, grew up in an Evangelical Christian family and has said Christianity shapes his worldview.

 

One way or another, religion is certainly getting some air time at the top end of town & government

U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

Outdated targeting data may have resulted in a mistaken missile strike, according to the ongoing military investigation, which undercuts President Trump’s assertion that Iran could be to blame.

Do these ‘Christians’ not know that the antichrist is literally defined in the Bible?

I have no dog in this fight.  However, it's not wise to use AI as a source. Always double check AI.  There are usually links to real sites.  Use those as your source.  Treat AI as a search engine.

Also no. 

 

Christendom has no understanding of the Antichrist. This is because they don't read the Bible with understanding.

I know some Muslim people who appear to be genuine, good people who want to do God’s will the best they know how. Sometimes I want to ask them how they feel when they constantly hear reports of Islamic extremists committing murderous hate crimes, and thus making them all look bad. 

 

What the Islamic terrorists do is hateful and disgusting, but in reality, they are in effect doing what their Holy book says. I’ve read the Quran years ago and it literally tells them to ‘fight the unbelievers’, ‘those who don't believe in Allah’, or to kill “the polytheists wherever you find them.” Some Muslim apologists claim the verses are talking about self-defense, but whatever the case, they have caused some, due to them being in their religious text, to feel the need to kill others, even if it meant also killing themselves by blowing themselves to pieces. False religion produces bad fruit.

 

I once had a Bible student who was convinced Babylon the Great was the Catholic Church. I explained to him that we once believe that, too. After reading several scriptures, we read Matthew 7:17-19 where Jesus stated that all trees not producing fine fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. I asked him ‘Do you not agree that other religions, besides the Catholic church produce bad fruit? Do you think Jehovah would destroy the Catholic Church and allow all these other religions, along with their false teachers, who produce bad fruit to continue to exist? He then got the point.

I did treat it as a search engine. It accurately summarized all the articles I checked with my eyes. 

 

Referencing a single article showing the school attack would not have made my point. The point was that there are ZERO articles claiming it was a hoax - AI listed a single conspiracy theory and even that didn't deny that the school was blown up.

Hey that's cool. Just sharing. It would not take much if any extra work on your part to type or link to an actual source.

She was already aware of the story of the school being bombed - no link necessary - she called it a hoax. Since there are no articles about a hoax OR disproving the claim of a hoax, what exactly am I supposed to link to?

Russia uses an alternate system called GLONASS, but I suppose they are blocking all kinds of location services.

Understood.  Of course, I wasn't saying that the people are being deprived of just GPS.  They are being deprived of open-source media of all kinds.

Iran is known for shutting down the Internet during an internal crisis, to keep their people in the dark.  Some can work around that with VPN, but they do so at great peril.  

 

Russia, on the other hand, tries to force the people to use only the State-run Internet. That's like having one channel for  heavily censored news.

 

Shutting down the world-wide web by a government is an act of desperation.  The news reports that Putin is paranoid, that there's dissent among the highest military officials, because the Ukraine "special operation" has been a disaster for the nation.

 

Imagine if a western democracy shut down the Internet !!!!  Imagine you couldn't call a relative or pay a bill online.

 

That's what I was sharing

I think she did well.

While fake news is definitely a thing, is common, and most people are gullible enough to suck it in, the fact of the matter is that this is looking legit. An investigation is still currently being conducted, and people in positions of authority here (including the current head honcho) are open to the possibility that it was an error on the part of the USA.

All the reputable sources in the media internationally are reporting the same thing.
