"They'd be alive in a burka. This is a barbaric society. Morgan cut off Schlapp to continue making his point. Women and girls in Iran are not required to wear a burka, which covers the entire body. They are required by law to wear a hijab, which covers the head and neck."
"Piers, even if it was an Iranian missile that was fired in response to the attack from Israel and the United States, even if it was an Iranian missile, those girls would still be alive today if the United States and Israel had not launched the attack. So, you are right, we don't know who launched the missile. But we know that if the U.S. and Israel had not attacked a country that poses no serious threat to them—Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons, America has thousands—that those girls would be alive."
"The U.S. and Israel have carried out more than 2,000 strikes inside Iran since Saturday, when it commenced a bombing campaign that President Donald Trump has said could last for at least five weeks. Among the first buildings hit was an elementary school for girls in southern Iran. At least 175 people—mostly young girls—were killed in the bombing, according to the Iranian government."
The U.S. and Israel have conducted over 2,000 strikes inside Iran since launching a bombing campaign expected to last at least five weeks. An elementary school for girls in southern Iran was among the first targets hit, resulting in at least 175 deaths, mostly young girls, according to Iranian government reports. White House officials stated they are investigating the bombing. During a television appearance, conservative leader Matt Schlapp argued the deceased girls would be better off dead than alive under Iran's current regime, characterizing Iranian society as barbaric. Journalist Peter Beinart countered that regardless of who fired the missile, the girls would still be alive if the U.S. and Israel had not initiated the attack.
