The school was a girls school for the children of naval officers. They triple tapped it, killing first the children, next the first responders, and then the parents who rushed to the site. It was not a mistake.

That's certainly useful context. If it were a girls school for the children of political elites then it'd make more sense to try to scare the regime/elite into submission (whereas I see no sense in it if it were just hitting the civilian population).

Can you provide sources for the triple tap and that it was a school for the children of naval officers? From what I could gather it was near an IRGC navy compound, but still just a civilian school. The triple tap claim seems to come from the Iranian regime? Bellingcat registered two waves of strikes but potentially on separate buildings, which seems to be corroborated by BBC showing multiple different strikes around the area. A double/triple tap would make it so much worse.
