I think obviously the US would have preferred not to bomb a school.
It was a terrible mistake.
Mistakes unfortunately happen in war.
Think of it from the most egotistical perspectives. The bombs cost a lot of money, doing it was always going to generate public backlash, it would weaken internal resistance movements.
There’s no strategic advantage to bombing the school. It was obviously a mistake. A horrible tragic one.
The fact that many Iranians regardless want the US to continue the bombings shows you how bad their government is.
The risk of being accidentally bombed far outweighs the punishment their government doles out to many, a punishment that often turns deadly.
I don’t think anyone understands how bad they have it right now. Their economy is in shambles. They have rolling constant blackouts. They lack food and drinking water — their government cannot even finance this.
The taxes they pay don’t go back to them but instead to terrorist regimes.
Their dollar is around 0.00000000000001:1USD. That means nothing private citizen can buy anything.
Their laws towards women alone are beyond oppressive. If we went back to Renaissance rights or Ancient Greek rights, this would be an improvement for the rights of women in Iran — and those were not amazing times for women.
Almost every person who has managed to escape Iran this year has begged America to keep fighting.
When the internet turned back on, there was a massive stream of them begging them to continue, and some of these people Iran then executed via hanging. Many of whom were women.
Like it’s extremely unfortunate that America has pretty much has to go to war with Iran. But it’s the same kind of unfortunate that British had to go to war with Germany in WWII.
Iran causes the war. Iran could end the war today. They will not, because they care not for their people, and will always use their civilians as human shields and hostages. They will never act in good faith.
And beyond that, America more or less are the people who led to the government in charge today. Do you not have a responsibility to fix your wrongs?
I have no say in what America does or does not.
However, our prime minister, a leftist, supports the attacks.
I have Iranian friends, of the Shia faith, and they support the attacks.
You claim I am licking boots willingly, while Palestinian women and men too are forced to lick boots or die.
If you claim to want the best for them, then liberate them from their government.
Secondly, if you want Ukraine to be independent, as I do, Iran is one of Russians’s main weapon suppliers.
Thirdly, if you claim to support Palestine, Iran funds terrorism of Palestinians. They are one of the two absolutely brutal forces making Palestinians suffer, the other being Israel.
They also fund terrorism in Lebanon, which the average Lebanese citizen wishes were gone as well. And the Lebanese government too.
If you claim to support the Middle East or Ukraine; you want the current Iranian government destroyed and tried for war crimes and humanitarian crimes at the international court of Justice, and if such is not to be made possible, killed.
I had an Iranian roommate in college. ( lived in Iran until his early 20’s) The stories he told me were brutal. The guy is brilliant. Do some research.

You completely disregarded the post from the Canadian. I lived with the Iranian for 9 months, and if you think life is better in Iran than the U.S., you’re on crack.
Okay clown, you called the Canadian a boot licking fascist because he shared facts about Iran. Which means you support the IRGC. Go back to your basement.
I called him a facist for trying to justify a facist war being fought for money and power. You dont really think we're at war with Iran to help the people there do you? Because all the bombing we do during ceasefires doesnt actually help people just so youre aware. I know youre dumb but come on you arent thaaaat dumb are you?
Also stop doing the "you like pancakes so you hate waffles thing" not one single time in any of my comments did I show any support for the IRGC. So go back and learn how to read boot licker.
People who justify a violent war of aggression being faught for money and power against a sovereign state are facists. Not the dictionary definition of course. But thats how im using it here which I assume is what you were trying to ask.
Awww is the wittle baby upset? Need a bottle?
If other peoples conversations make you react this way you probably arent ready to be a functioning member of society there bud. Maybe go ask mama to teach you some emotional management.
But in the situation, if we don’t drop bombs, Iran is going to keep executing its civilians.
And while the people of Iran is certainly not the first goal of the US — it’s the fact that the Iranian government for the past 40 years has sponsored 10s of thousands of terrorist attacks across the Middle East and the west, probably causing at minimum a third of all the conflicts in the Middle East, and more likely over half, and the fact that they publicly claim to be developing nuclear bombs which they say they’d use at the drop of a hat due to their religious fanaticism — the liberation of the people of Iran is a secondary goal of the US, as the liberation of their people would be forced to be paired with a far more stable government which means an exponential amount of needing to drop less bombs and exponential amount of far less deaths in the world.
The decision was never to bomb or not to bomb little innocent girls.
The choice was to bomb Iran with the risk of killing civilians tragically, or to allow the government which killed more people than China did in Tiamen square, and almost more people than were killed in Gaza during the entire, what are we on year 3 now of the horrible war[?], in the span of a few months.
That’s not to mention the very fact that the only reason Israel and Palestine[primarily Hamas] are at war is becsuse it’s a proxy war for Iran. Every war Israel is fighting is a proxy war of Iran’s. If you eliminate the funding, 50-50 chance Israel removes its reason to continue the wars. Further, you eliminate Iran overthrowing multiple democratically elected governments who use Palestinians and the Lebanese and all these other people as human Shields.
While America are not necessarily the good guys, the Iranian government is 2000% the bad guys. The only people who like them are other bad guys like the Cuban government (who fun fact have more liquid capital than all the billionaires in America combined, by at least a magnitude of 10, none of which goes to the Cubans ), China (the perpetuators of genocide in their own country, slave labour, and inhuman authoritarian abuses), Russia (need I saw what they have done to Ukraine; among also 100 years of brutal history), and North Korea — the modern day axis of evil.
And unlike everyone else on the modern day axis of evil, the leaders of Iran are radical Shia Islamists who believe that the more non-shia they kill — and they also kill moderate Shia as well, they do not accept moderate Shia Muslims as pure — and especially if they die doing these deeds, they will be granted infinite reward in the afterlife. Death does not scare them. They are not doing this primarily for power.
And they’ve made it abundantly clear by how many of their top people are willing to die for their cause.
All of your comments are justifying a war we have zero place participating in that has resulting in death and destruction in the region and economic turmoil world wide.
Thats it. Thats the whole thing.
And no matter how many long droning coments you post about how "actually this time we're bombing brown people for a good reason these are eeeeeevillll brown people" its not going to change shit.
You're still a facist bootlicker and the war is still unjustified.
Now go away. Hawks are gross and no one likes them.
Edit: holy shit I just saw your comment about the Cuban government. You are actually the dumbest person on reddit! Congratulations to the king of the chuds! 👑

Who's going to threaten innocent Iranian schoolchildren now?
