The lack of condolences or expressions of regret from Western governments over the deadly strike on a girl school in Iran shows the Western world’s true face, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday.

“Deliberately and knowingly, 160 or more children — young girls whose funerals took place today — were killed. And no one — not a single state department, not a single foreign office, not the Elysee Palace… none of the UK, US, French or German government bodies — none of them has expressed a word of regret or asked for forgiveness on their knees,” Zakharova told reporters.

The Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Iran was hit on the first day of the US-Israeli military attack on Saturday. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that at least 171 schoolgirls were killed.

Zakharova argued that much of the efforts made by Western countries in the past few decades were aimed at interfering in the domestic affairs of other states, toppling governments, stealing resources and enriching themselves at others’ expense.

    The government has done so much of stuff like this over the years and it’s been mostly quietly ignored, but also the casualty numbers were usually lower; it seems today people are becoming bolder and now just calling it all out, FINALLY

    You see it in places like Africa as well where countries are now trying to divorce themselves from France and align with China, and when speaking to European dignitaries and Western media they’re holding less back and being more forthcoming

    I’m glad that crap like this is getting harder to commit without objection
