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 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 reel 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. "
