The United States has been criticised for condemning the drone strike, which killed no fewer than 50 people at a wedding in Kutum in Sudan’s Darfur region on April 8, while allegedly supporting and orchestrating similar attacks on its adversaries.
The knocks followed US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos’ post on X, condemning the Sudanese wedding strike on Tuesday morning. Boulos’s post stirred a backlash as X users recalled similar attacks US allies had launched in the past.
One user on X recalled a missile strike which targeted a school in Minab, southern Iran, on February 28, the start of the ongoing US/Israel-Iran war, which killed over 150 people, including children.
“It’s not like you actually care. All you do is condemn. You actually bombed a school full of kids in Iran twice yourself and you also supply missiles to Israel in which they have used several times to kill innocent civilians,” the X user wrote.
Trump blamed Iran for the attack on the school at the beginning, but gave contradicting answers later on.
“In my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran … they’re very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever. It was done by Iran,” Trump said.
The Guardian UK, which conducted satellite imagery checks, revealed that the school was adjacent to a cluster of buildings that form the local Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval barracks, and there is no indication that the school was a military-use building when it was struck.
Statements from Trump and US officials regarding the incident have been inconsistent. While Trump blamed Iran and claimed later on that he had no details of the strike, Republican Senator John Kennedy said on March 10 that the US was responsible for the strike but claimed that it was unintentional.
Neither the US nor Iran has formally claimed responsibility for the strike yet, but many people still point accusing fingers at the Trump administration.
“But you killed almost 200 schools kids in Iran, aren’t Iranian children humans and under protection of humanitarian law ?. Treat people the way you want to be treated!,” another user said.
An X user also accused the United States of selective outrage, arguing that injustice anywhere in the world should be condemned, regardless of where it occurs.
“It’s frustrating seeing selective outrage- an injustice anywhere must be condemned. When a school is struck, whether in Iran, Occupied Palestine, Russia, Sudan, anywhere, we should all be outraged, and focused on stopping such further attacks. Not this farce of selective outrage,” the post read.

Some other users also knocked the US for failing to condemn Israeli airstrikes that began late April 8 and intensified into April 9, killing over 300 people in Lebanon.
Did you condemn the strike on Beirut last week where 304 killed you so called Lebanese

Other users also knocked the US for not mentioning Sudan, the country where a strike killed over 50 people, in the post, alleging that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) backs the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group that has been at war with the Sudanese forces for almost three years.
A couple of points:
1. Where is Kutum? Why not specify it is in Sudan?
2. Why not mention the perpetrators too?
RSF supported financially and militarily by UAE
3. Why are you reluctant to condemn UAE leaders who are behind the atrocities in Sudan and Ethiopia?— Nay ERITREA (@EritreaNay) April 14, 2026
