    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:

      During the cold war war on terror, the anticommunist anti-regime ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist Iranian society into hostile evidence. If the Soviets Islamic Republic refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches mosques in the USSR Islamic Republic were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed dying; but if the churches mosques were full, this meant the people were rejecting being forced to accept the regime’s atheistic ideology theocratic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist Iranian system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists Iranians in the United States West Asia played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others indigenous resistance groups, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

      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.
