To be fair, some if might be fake news. Iran has propaganda too.
Don't take this in any way to be pro US or IL.
wasn't there a recent investigation and initial confirmation by the Pentagon and NYT that the US was responsible?
of course the motivation and will is there for Iran to stage a "false flag" operation to damage the reputation of the US and present themselves as victims to the rest of the world, but the specifics of this case quickly dispel that notion, such as the school being adjacent to an Iranian navy base, and the school house having been previously used by the navy and only later converted to a school, as well as analysis of footage that confirmed the missile that struck the school was a missile the US has access to but Iran does not ... so it is far more likely the US just didn't update their intel and had old target data.
I believe there is some ira Iranian state media pictures of the aftermath where the exif data date said 2020 for one picture, a close up I believe, and then a wider shot the exif date is 2026, though it doesn't appear that the pictures are shot with different cameras where one of them may have an incorrect date. It looks like the same photo just cropped.
Anyway I'm not trying to diminish Iranians. Any loss of life is terrible and the aggressors are terrible. I'm just saying it's hard to know of the exact truth of these situations.
I saw a real with a comedian who said something to the effect of, "hey did you ever noticed that Wars are just conservatives of a certain country attacking conservatives of another country? It's like they hold a mirror up and see their reflection and get pissed about it. "
Wild ass take. This isn't something that only Iranian news is reporting. Show some respect for the dead children at the very least.
Lol. It's not a, "wild ass take", as you so eloquently vomited.
It's more like a pragmatic ass take.
Not sure what you mean about showing these children respect, because that's not how respect works, and certainly you're not the one who decides how respect is doled.
If you mean to say do I care about children, the answer is absolutely and of course, and the guy who pressed the button to launch any weapon to kill innocent children on purpose should have his knob guillotined off.
But that's not my point. I'm talking about propaganda.
It isn’t propaganda either. It’s just a fact. The US bombed an all girls school in Iran. A double tap, in fact. That’s where they drop one bomb and then when everyone goes outside to see what’s happening and help, they drop another one. It’s designed specifically to maximize casualties.
So go ahead and talk about propaganda all you want. But maybe do it somewhere else, where it’s actually relevant.
Now, this is just silly. I'd think the US have capability to destroy a school in one strike if they wanted to. What you're saying is the US specifically have to strike twice, because they don't have a means to reduce a civilian building to rubble. And what's the point, anyway? Now with all the whiplash, they couldn't predict this beforehand? Or, if it was intentional, they would have a specific goal in mind?
I'm as much outraged as you are, don't get me wrong. I just think it was a terrible mistake on the US part on par with starting this conflict all together
No, that's not remotely what they said, and you know it, you dishonest bastard

It’s less silly and more completely beyond fucked but alright.
Neither the US, nor Israel, deserve the benefit of the doubt right now.
