Is it true that Iran accidentally bombed itself? Many folks in my country became very Islamophobic because of the current government’s oppressive policies and believe the current war is a sham fight and Iran deserves everything that happens to it for executing its civilians instead of arming up.
The source claims the incident translated:
No, the Iranian missile that lobotomized monarchists are claiming caused it was going in the opposite direction of the school.
It’s complete bullshit made up by diaspora lunatics who’ve lost touch with reality. You know the Parenti anti-communism quote? Replace communist with Islamic Republic and anticommunist with anti-regime, a d you basically get the average diaspora view of Iran.
Fuck it I’ll do it right now:
Rest in peace, Parenti.
no it’s not. it is propaganda. there was an interview with some israel official where he ignores when that question was asked.
Can you send the link for archival purposes please? I want to share that with the pro-Israel-NATO people I know.

Spokespeople for the US Department of Defense and the Israeli army told Time magazine and The Associated Press news agency that they were unaware that a school had been hit.
Some websites and social media accounts linked to Israel claimed the site was “part of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base”.
However, an analysis by Al Jazeera’s digital investigations unit of satellite imagery compiled over more than a decade, as well as recent video clips, published news reports and statements from official Iranian sources, tells a very different story.
Remember when they bombed Al-Shifa hospital? For a week they said “it was a Hamas rocket failure” and then after a while they stopped caring about the lie and bragged about blowing up hospitals? Yeah this is that.
Also if they say “there was an IRGC compound nearby that was being targeted” tell them that the IRGC “compound” was a civilian medical clinic that the IRGC run. The sanctions against Iran have made it so the IRGC has had to cover things like medical services and road works. The IRGC is the main provider of public works so there are “IRGC compounds” all over the place.
