Green Party leader Zak Polanski was blasted by comedian, writer and actor Omid Djalili after the politician waded in on the Iran school strike which occured on Saturday February 28, and saw 160 children killed. Polanski was quick to blame Israel for the bombing. He reposted someone else's opinion, which included a link to a BBC report on the funerals. Captioning it he wrote: "Israel killed 160 children in a strike on a school. It's so dystopian and grim. Even worse that the BBC look to murky the waters."

An outraged Djalili, who is of Iranian descent, responded with a lengthy post accusing the politician of "spreading misinformation" regarding who was responsible for the tragedy. "Nothing is proved yet Zack. The fact that you are spreading misinformation is appalling for someone in your position. To date no one has been allowed to see any evidence of casualties or even the site itself," he began.

He continued: "The regime says it’s America or Israel. The Americans say they were nowhere near the area.

"Here’s what Iranians inside Iran say: IRGC blew it up themselves to fill it up with dead bodies of children they’ve kept on ice hidden away in cold storage from the January slaughters to put on display in order to blame their aggressors.

"The fact that we have not seen the evidence yet is a red flag as we know the regime would have gleefully paraded those images on television and all over the internet.

"Most probably they were caught on film transferring the bodies hence why there is now a media black out on this story, as well as a full internet blackout.

"As Iranians we know how this regime operates. We’re talking about new levels of evil," he said.

"So any narrative like the one you are pushing Zack actually supports the regime in their 'don’t care how many die as long as we stay in power' quest. For the love of God and humanity, please stop," he concluded his rant.

Iran's state-run IRNA news agency initally reported the strike happened in Minab in Iran’s Hormozgan province. Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has a base in the city.

The strike destroyed an elementary school in the city and the deaths were the first confirmed fatalities of the military operation launched by the US and Israel.

The first strike appeared to have happened near the offices of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
