U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation, two U.S. officials told Reuters.
Reuters was unable to determine more details about the investigation, including what evidence contributed to the tentative assessment, what type of munition was used, who was responsible or why the U.S. might have struck the school.
Huh. That’s usually Israels MO. Maybe the US got inspired by their whole terrorist state death cult thing they have going on.
Israel says where to bomb and USA immediately fires. That’s how they seem to operate.
Based on my armchair understanding of the satellite photos, the building looked like part of the adjacent military complex, and US military “intelligence” did a little oopsie.
I’d be willing to believe AI picked the target and no one is bothering to double check the targets it picks.
But I’m also willing to believe this was an intentional act of terrorism meant to demoralize the Iranian people.
Could go either way.
If that was the case and this school is the only ‘hallucination’, they must have extremely good AI
More likely GI Schmoe put a dot on the wrong building
No, they double tapped the school. Killed the children, then waited for first responders to show up to kill them too. It’s either something cooked up by an AI or by a psychopath, there’s not a lot of room for this to be an honest mistake.
Also, there’s this story.
If they misidentified the building… Why wouldn’t they double tap it?
The first responders being civilian instead of military is a pretty strong clue. Also a bunch of parents and neighbors showed up, which wouldn’t make any sense if it was a military target.
Wait, do you think they are watching a live feed of every single building during such a thing?
… do you think they aren’t watching the targets they bomb?
A wall had been built between the military complex and the area that had the school and clinic. It’s too bad the military didn’t do any kind of investigation into their target BEFORE they bombed it.
Unless Israel gave them bad intel
It could be a US mistake, or an Israeli intentional, or honestly I wouldn’t put it past Iran doing it themselves because it certainly is helping them with US Allies refusing to aid the US with the Israeli Invasion.
Just once, I hope to see a reasonable comment from you.
Please elaborate what you disagreed with.
Iran has bombed like every country around itself, yes they were US military bases and the like, but do you really think it would suddenly attack its own girl school to get help from those countries? Israel has a track record of targeting schools and hospitals, so it’s their MO, but it seems like this may have been a US airstrike. Again, not the first time US does something like that in middle east. Jim Carey got famous for his drawing of a school bus being bombed by US. And there were also weddings targeted with US bombs.
Several European Allies have been asked and refused to provide support including logistics support to the Trump admin, UNESCO is calling for investigations, if Iranian leadership planned this then their plan has worked very well for them. As you said, Iran has a track record of disregarding human life, a few weeks ago it was all over the news that they were massacring civilians protesting the famine.
Or it could be Israeli malice or an American fuckup, or maybe even Trump signing off on it himself, but I’m not gonna say anything is certain.
The refusal is not because of the “bombing a school” specifically, it’s about the “starting a war to cover pedophiles” thing
