          They did try to evacuate. The building was hit while they were doing so:

          > Hundreds of students are believed to have been inside the building by the time teachers and administrators received the news that bombs had begun falling on Tehran around 9:40 a.m.

          > Teachers and administrators thought it prudent to send the children home. They called parents on landline phones, summoning them for an early pickup, two people told the AP. A recently released report by Airwars, a London-based independent group that tracks recent conflicts, also found that parents were called to pick up their children.

          > At 10:15 a.m., Iran’s state media sent out an advisory, closing schools across the country.

          Dude, the US doesn&#x27;t even protect American schoolchildren from other Americans, let alone a foreign power: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Uvalde_school_shooting" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Uvalde_school_shooting
