Minab martyrdom planned, by the IRGC.  [/quote]

Give it up with your delusional takes

All military experts and OSINT (including the CIA OSINT accounts) accounts have come to the same conclusion that the school was indeed struck by US Tomahawk missiles.

The US attacked a civilian structure. It happens. A lot.[/quote]

Iran having military infrastructure directly adjacent to a school is a Geneva Convention Article 58 violation.  Iran deliberately and willfully did this quite a bit all throughout their cities, putting IRGC and Basij bases and facilities in dense urban areas.  As did Hamas.  This happened systematically throughout Iranian and Gazan cities.  It was a deliberate and illegal choice that put civilians at risk.

Also, OSINT accounts DO NOT confirm there being a "deliberate double tap on a school" - aerial photos show direct hits on IRGC military targets.  When one looks at Bellingcat's own geolocation analysis of the "double tap tomahawk" video, it shows the missile coming in to the left of the school, not at the school itself.  And from the camera's viewpoint what''s to the left is the IRGC base.  What's being portrayed as a "double tap on the school" is far more likely collateral from a legitimate IRGC target being hit.   This scenario is exactly why the Geneva Conventions said military infrastructure should not be directly adjacent to civilian infrastructure.

Also, while it's fine to condemn the US for hitting civilian infrastructure, why don't you give us a comparison of how much civilian infrastructure the US hit in this campaign compared to how much civilian infrastructure Iran has hit with its missiles?  What's the percentage?  Do you actually believe that Iran has had precision strikes that only hit legitimate military targets, that Iran has not hit a single residential area or civilian target in the area?  Iran has launched over 1000 ballistic missiles including Khorramshahr and Sejjil missiles, up to half of which contain between 24 and 80 poorly guided submunitions that disperse over a multi-KM radius which have hit hospitals, schools, residential areas, civilian infrastructure and so on.   But the PP's narrative completely ignores this, instead the suggestion is Iran is an innocent victim, doing nothing to anybody, while its children are being deliberately massacred.  All based on one school in a building that used to be a military facility.[/quote]

Mayne this is news to you, but there are schools on our military bases. Daycares, hospitals, elderly care facilities, civilian housing, all located on military bases! Enough with the excuses. What we did was wrong. [/quote]

[b]Sure sure only America is wrong.  Iran is never wrong.  Sure. [/b]  As long as you keep only trashing America it's just going to keep turning Americans off to your rhetoric.  You aren't going to win anyone over.[/quote]

That's not what I said. Of course if you twist my words into something ridiculous, you can make it sound ridiculous.

What I actually suggested was that what we did was wrong. Point blank. End of story. It was wrong. And as an American taxpayer living in what is supposed to be a democracy, my concern is that my money and our collective reputations are being trashed by this administration as it commits war crimes.

None of that is to say the Iranian regime is full of perfect angels. They aren't. But they are not using my money to commit their crimes. They are not trashing my reputation with their crimes. I did not elect any of them to represent me. They are not answerable to me. The American government IS. And I take great issue with the fact that we seem to have slaughtered 150 children and have yet to take accountability. Why don't you?[/quote]

[b]So you're saying the fact that we didn't elect the Ayatollah somehow justifies selectively trashing the US while constantly deflecting, whitewashing, dismissing and downplaying 40+ years of Iran's evil and misdeeds?[/b]

Sorry but I just cannot accept that reasoning.[/quote]

No, I'm not saying. I've explained what I'm saying multiple times and you continue to twist what I've said to fit your outrage narrative because you are hellbent on obfuscating and avoiding American accountability. And for that reason, we are done here. Argue with someone else. [/quote]
