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]

"Not accountable to me, oh well, nothing to do, move along, nothing to see here, let's just ignore all the evil they do" psssshhhtt..[/quote]

What part of we messed up are you not understanding? That truth exists entirely independent of what Iran has done. Acknowledging it is not excusing anyone else. Sphere of influence. What my country does, I technically have some say in. And I have a problem with slaughtering children. Again, why dont you?

Do you have kids? When you are parenting them, and they've messed up, do you find it compelling when they try to shift responsibility? Oh well so and so did it too! No. Because as a parent, my job is to parent my child.

Iran does wrong. No one is denying that. But the only government that I am directly tied to, directly funding, and who I can actually influence is MY government. [/quote]

+1 but you’re wasting your time. Those unwilling to admit and acknowledge that we did anything in this matter deserving of an acknowledgement and an apology are of the broader mind that our federal government NEVER does anything wrong beyond our borders.

To them, it’s only everyone else (aside from us and Israel) that do wrong.

And as for their tactics here in these threads, if you don’t restate every other matter that you object to, they resort to lame whataboutism and think that changes the subject and absolves our accountability as a nation, too.

I’ve never in my lifetime longed more for a national partition. The test for me of who goes on each side is an easy one. We need this - badly.[/quote]
