"They also killed a school-full of primary-school girls." - Wellifthisisntdandy
According to Snopes, which is not perfectly reliable, the missile was a Tomahawk, one of ours, but was likely a mistake, in that the girl's schools was near to a military (in particular, a naval base) target. That doesn't excuse it, but certain groups are known to place military operations under, near, and even inside civilian areas to maximize 'collateral damage'. More evidence of this will follow, but here's the Snopes sauce:
We have news sources here ranging from Newsweek to the NYT to the Daily Mail agreeing on this, and even some Arabic sources covered the protests, regional fallout, and diplomatic tensions caused by the Ayatollah's actions:
I really appreciate you bringing the quality of discussion up several levels. Thank you!
You are correct, snopes is unreliable and cannot be trusted. Many MSM outlets tried to smear our military after preliminary reports from IRGC claimed we did it. Several analysis and followups, including reported here say otherwise:
I'm not aware of any official statement except a fake report that the Pentagon took credit (those pesky anonymous sources!), so unless there is an official report on a .gov site, i would be doubious of anything claiming to be official.
To be sure, there is a good chance the US could be found partially responsible, but from what ive heard (admittedly not up to date) was we jammed multiple frequencies over all of Iran, , they launched their missile, and it lost all guidance and dropped from the sky in a very unfortunate location.
In that scenario yeah, we jammed, but they launched it and also had a school in harms way, etc. Both at fault? War is not pretty and I think most everyone wished it hadn't happened.
.
As for the rest, it may have been my interpretation of the post, i was under the impression that most of his negative comments were leveled at the UAE, and their treatment of other nationalities.
And yes. The Iranian people (Persians) were not the bad, agree with you the Ayatollahs (Muslim Arabs) who took over were the monsters. It may be ignorant of me but i never considered them Persians, just invaders who enslaved Iran for an extended period. I really want to see this all righted for the people there.
You did a great job bringing this discussion around. Well done. 👍

Persia does have a unique history, agreed with you entirely!
And that history was stifled by the Ayatollahs, and the brutal reign they perpetuated:

I appreciated your thoughtful comment, and decided to add some sauce to the 'meat' to enhance it's flavor. Hopefully, it was successful.
