The building appears to be among many devastated in Trump’s ‘major combat operations’ as long expected attacks arrive
Iran’s parents had just dropped their children off for class on Saturday morning when they found themselves racing back to school gates, as bombs began to fall across the country in a joint US-Israel attack.
At one elementary school, according to Iran’s state-controlled media, they arrived to find devastation. At least 80 children had been killed in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, the IRNA news agency reported, with dozens more unaccounted for.
In one video circulating on social media, purportedly showing the immediate aftermath of the strike, smoke rises from the burnt-out walls, and debris lies spread across the road. Hundreds of onlookers gathered at the site, some in obvious distress. Screams can be heard in the background. The report of the bombing, its death toll and the video’s source could not immediately be independently verified by the Guardian. Persian factchecking service Factnameh was able to cross-reference the video with other photographs of the school site, and concluded that the video was authentic. Reuters said it had also verified the footage as being from the school.
Israelis and americans expanding and practicing their genocide tactics to see what they can get away with. I dont understand how murdering junior school girls is a legitimate target. Unfortunately western governments are all supporting this despite is blatant illegality. I am ashamed of my government for coming out in support of this. Anthony Albanese is Prime Minister of Australia. Shame on you.
While it was immensely piss weak, Albo walked the usual line of not pissing off MAGA while not actually whole-heartedly agreeing with them. He stated that Australia supports US efforts to stop Iran’s nuclear program, but did not actually support the strikes. It’s the Penny Wong approach, “don’t get Trump’s attention, he might forget we exist” that they’ve been following the whole time.
Didn’t oppose them either. See? Pissweak. But so far we’ve avoided the pedo’s wrath while not being forced to actually materially support US brutality or being slapped by China. So it’s working.
Americans are so used to school killings that they don’t blink an eye at this.
How can you live with such a callous disregard for childs lives? What has become of your country?
Become?
We’re talking about the only UN member that hasn’t ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child, because they don’t want to have to stop executing children.
Hurting children has always been a core value of the USA, up there with shooting each other, rampant egoism, and their twisted version of christian fundamentalism.
I wonder how you will feel after you realize you and your allies have been a big part of the American empire, too?
See history of the US dollar and international trade.
Your country likely contributes a significant amount to the US economy, and we go to war together, too.
how do you live with that?
Ok, so in essence you are saying the person who sold shoes to a murderer is equally guilty of the crime committed?
No, I’m in essence saying that the person who murders with the murderer is equally guilty of murder.
You should look up who arms Australia, by the way. Can you guess who?
yeah i know. Australian politicians have fallen for the evil empire’s propaganda
I’m not an American
The pronoun ‘you’ doesn’t mean you specifically; how can you tell it wasn’t about ‘you’ specifically?
Because they didn’t change the subject to you specifically, of course. The ‘you’ is a pronoun replacing “The United States Military”, “USAF” “US and Israeli combined forces”, etc.; the subject is who the ‘you’ is referring to, not actually you the person.
The pronoun is used in English to avoid having to specifically refer to the subject by name over and over.
Now, go forth, and SIN NO MORE
Western NATO aligned countries are just puppet states in the American Empire
God fucking damnit, so fucking frustrating. Another 30+ years of “terrorists” because people will avenge war crimes committed by the US. This is maddening.
And terrorist attacks on Americans ensures more supposed “strong man” presidents. It’s all part of the plan.
Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. All suicide bombers need to do is say “this was for those schoolgirls” and it’s kind of hard to disagree with them.
The problem is that the people committing these atrocities face no legal justice, so it’s up to vigilantes to do it instead.
Another 30+ years of “terrorists”
I don’t think that the US imperial regime is going to last that long
Should we be so lucky
Another 30+ years of “terrorists”
We were never going to hear the end of “Muslim Terrorist” rhetoric, because it was instrumental in justifying our dominion over the region.
There isn’t going to be another 9/11. We’re well past the point of needing a causa belli for this kind of war. It’ll just be ICE goons murdering parents in front of crying children and CNN talking heads explaining how we’re safer because of it.
causa belli
It’s “casus” belli
Another 30+ years of “terrorists”
America claims its attacks are to stop ‘terrorists’, but it’s exactly those actions that are creating ‘terrorists’. And they’re fully justified in becoming ‘terrorists’ imo.
If I lived in Iran, I’d certainly want revenge for this.
(here I’m using the word terrorist to mean ‘enemy of America~s administration~’, as that’s what America has turned that word into)
Prior to this attack, as well as the bunker busters dropped last year: I do not believe Iran is/was creating nuclear weapons.
Since these two attacks however, I believe they’d be justified in seeking such weapons simply because America has proven over and over that no nation is safe without them.
In short; I don’t think they are/were, but I do think they should be in response. As much as I don’t like nuclear proliferation, I’m much much more against deliberately killing innocents, particularly children.
Perhaps I’d have a different opinion if America/Israel struck military targets; but they didn’t. They struck homes, schools, and other civilians.
America is truly a Terrorist State, if not just a lap dog of Israel’s genocidal regime.
Fucker is either murdering kids or raping them.
Little of column A. Little of column B.
Allegedly sometimes both at the same time.
Someone on Reddit wrote they are hoping for a stroke, 223 upvotes.
I added “I am team blood clot.” and got a 3 day ban, lol.
Ha! Solidarity, mate. Although I should warn you, too many of those temp bans and they kick you out for good. As happened to me, which is why I’m here. 😄
Why are you still there?
I tried fully switching to Lemmy, but the content was lacking. Sure, you got communities for everything, but they are pretty much dead.
For example on r/Nvidia I immediately see news about new driver updates and the changelogs. On Lemmy it’s dead.
Similar to other subreddits, be it for certain games or other topics :-/
Be the change you want to see.
i mean i am the change i want to see, make hundreds of posts, lemmy is still dead and i need reddit for content?
Then… Go outside more? I donno, stop propping up that fascist bullshit.
nah right now the quality of content here id put on par with youtube comment section
the people here also appear to mostly be american leftwing progressives who feel the need to inject complaints about “the west” and “capitalism” as a by word for America all day every day
so it’s a left wing shithole with minimal quality content beyond shitty left wing memes and shitty 1 line snarky comments
sorry the fascist place is better? make better content? comment on things that aren’t yet more left wing politics?
o7
Congrats?
Stop. Posting. On. Reddit.
you know like a few weeks ago the iranian regime killed upwards of 30,000 people? thousands who were students?
did this even register on your radar?
Probably more like 10,000. But yes, the Iranian government are a brutal bunch of thugs.
Doesn’t justify the US attacks at all. This is unlikely to result in regime change, more like bloody civil war.
So killing more is better right? Certainly doing this whole war is going to benefit the Iranian people?
iranians are literally in the streets cheering and setting off fireworks right now
“look at the propaganda that proves me right!”
ok
I bet if enough people cheered you to jump off a bridge you would do it lol
You think Irans own citizens around the world right now who are happy is “propaganda”
Pretty sure targeting children’s schools breaches the Geneva Convention rules of war. Although Israel will say they’re a cover for a military base
Those rules have not mattered in my lifetime. They are guidelines at best.
As per Squid guy Captain Barbossa - they be guidelines
it was targeting a nearby military base
same way iran right now is hitting hotels and apartment buildings all over the middle east
What’s that thing when people are killed for no real strategic purpose? 🤔
America.
You might be thinking of collective punishment.
It’s either collateral damage or murder. Sadly I’m going with murder
There is a strategic purpose…
They don’t want peace, even if that’s because they won.
They want a constant war as an excuse for why they can be the only ones in power.
Killing a bunch of kids, makes sure the other side won’t surrender. Even if the government does, you can claim all the people who want to kill your for killing kids are terrorists, and that they didn’t surrender.
Which makes it even worse.
Killing a bunch of kids, makes sure the other side won’t surrender.
It’s a genocide. We don’t intend to let them surrender. We’re going to keep killing long after Iran has been fully defanged
Unfortunately, just statistics
Business.
It’s on the tip of my tongue. Starts with an M?
I was thinking of the letter T but that works also.
Mancy?
Americans and Israelis when these particular roosters will inevitably come home to roost: “why do they hate us?”.
The “rooster” for Israel is climate change
A super majority of Americans are anti-Israel. This is a strawman that isn’t applicable anymore. Democrats are about to sweep in mid-terms as a consequence of this action + Gaza + ICE.
That’s entirely irrelevant to any radicalized Iranian who saw American bombs killing innocent school children.
I think you misunderstand. The point is that everyone in the US knows exactly why “they hate us” — it is not a mystery to anyone. This is a straw man in the truest sense; you’d be hard pressed to find a US citizen who authentically poses this question.
But does, ironically demonstrate the exact “but why do they hate us, it was Israel!” reaction to be expected.
This will definitely keep America safe and absolutely not produce any radicalized terrorists.
The radicalized terrorists bombed a school full of children.

Gotta wonder how many Chuds will post “Iranians can wear bikinis again” before the bodies are even cold
How about we all simultaneously lobby our representatives to impeach this entire evil administration?
What if we just voted for better representatives in the first place?
Lol jk. We’ll never do that.
Still counting on representatives to solve this mess aye? General strike until that orange turd is in jail I’d say.
I’m in if others will.
There’s the issue
All of mine are sadly in lock step with the asshole in chief. Also usually have phone lines disconnected not that they’d even care if constituents called or contacted them
DON"T Worry! Upon hearing that Trump ILLEGAL Bombed a bunch of Children Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Party EAGERLY got together to DISCUSS Writing a SEMI STERN Letter! Vote BLUE No matter WHO!
Don’t vote Gavin. He couldn’t even churn out a proper response. He is a diet MAGA. Vote Blue, it matters who
if another 9/11 happens i wouldn’t give a fuck
Unless you’re sitting in the tower.
