    There are videos of the destroyed school and emergency personnel and distressed civilians at the scene on social media. It should be very easy for pro-Israel and Trump regime types to disprove the incident happened if they claim the school wasn't hit in the attack.

    The targets being hit in Israel... are they airbases that would affect Israel's ability to wage war? Or they are hitting infrastructure?

    And when Trump warns of US losses do you thins he mean ships, planes or more likely if boots are on the ground?

    You asked "do primary schools teach on Saturday's in Iran?"

    The answer to that is "yes they do"

    Trump spent one minute talking about Iran in his ridiculous speech this week. He didn’t bother making the case for war to his own people. Many in MAGA will not like this.

    Attacking military targets is not all about killing people

    I mentioned earlier that a main reason for this attack is for trumps own personal reason - distraction from Epstein files and all the calls for him to testify which he has avoided so far. He doesnt give a cr*p about Iran or the iranian people. He only cares for one person - HIMSELF.

    As said by Anders in the tweet below - "Presumably, Trump is ready to do anything to block out the Epstein-Trump files from the news flow." THATS the difference between NOW and when that trump tweet came out in 2019. THIS is why he changed his mind - distraction distraction distraction

    The Quatar hit destroyed a billion dollar plus missile detection unit, this thing can detect missiles out to 5000km,gone.i presume something similar was hit in Bahrain. Now, if only Iran would sink the carriers already

    Putin is more responsible for a WW3 type scenario vis a vis his war with Ukraine, than either Israel or the US, in this instance. I'm not condoning either, but Russia is a far worse and bigger threat.

    It be nice if this was always true

    I might have to bookmark and quote this one

    We now had 5 years of Iranian allies attacking European cites with Iranian drones night after night, claiming to attack military targets that clearly endup being civilian

    Anyways Telegraph just put up an emergency podcast

    Mod - warned for trolling

    The amount of verbal gymnastics to explain away hitting a school is unreal but loads of practice I suppose



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,285 ✭✭✭✭A Dub in Glasgo


    You seemed to convince yourself that Iran hit a civilian target, care to share the intel on that?

    I would be loathe to trust anything the Telegraph would say as much as I would trust Iranian sources. Pure right wing trash.

    63 killed now in the girls school attack. RIP

    In the video linked earlier there is smoke rising from what what looks like residential building blocks in Bahrain, now these might be buildings in the empty base discussed higher up

    so far today in this thread alone we had people questioning BBC, Guardian and now Telegraph

    That says more about the people doing the questioning of those source while posting questionable links to fringe sources

    They have disrupted the operations of a major US military base in the region at a time when the US is attacking it.

    There is absolutely nothing from any other source claiming the Bahrain attack didnt hit the base but hit a civilian target. No reason to doubt the BBC report.

    Until you have something to back up your claim in respect of Bahrain your argument here is a unconvincing, muddies the waters between actual military targets and does nothing to advance any legitimate point you have re: Iran's role elsewhere.

    Israel never had a problem with blowing children to pieces.

    So how many pics of rising smoke does over city skylines does Trump need before he announces that Iran's capability is obliterated again?

    Meanwhile in Venezuela the regime that sold him Madura is still in place.

    A UK report claimed 60% of the Orc war effort was being sustained by China, so they are already 'pulled in' in one sense.

    Iran recently sent a very large shipment of missiles to the Orcs.

    Israel and the US can exterminate everyone in the Iranian regime and Revolutionary guard and it would gladden my heart. They would be doing the world a service, but what Israel, with the backing of the vile Krasnov have and are doing to the Palestinians is despicable and horrendous. I'd be as glad to see violent and painful ends to the Israeli and US regimes as the Iranian.

    The school was targeted to terrorise people. It was not a stray missile. Starmer, Israel, and the World's media have all been emphatic in saying that Israel only hit targets.

    At least 63 people, almost all of them young girls, have been killed in an air strike on a primary school in southern Iran, local authorities said.

    The attack on Saturday morning hit Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab city in the southern Hormozgan province as the United States and Israel began launching strikes on targets across Iran.

    The victims were between seven and 12 years old, according to Iran's Tasnim and Fars news agencies.

    One of the Minab school's staff, who asked not to be named, told Middle East Eye she is still in shock from the intensity of the attack.

    Through tears, she said she used to watch these young girls playing at school every day. But after today’s strikes, she saw their bodies lying on classroom benches and in different corners of the school.

    I would trust the BBC more than the torygraph. I think the bbc at least tries to be un biased. Explained your views on this conflict if you trust the telegraph.

    Trump is one of the worst human beings on the planet. It is a shame that he so narrowly escaped being assassinated, the world would be a much better place without him

    All this to cover up Epstein Island

    Regime change wars haven’t really been America’s forte.
    Iraq, Iranian allies in power.
    Afghanistan, 20 years, countless billions and thousands of lives spent to replace the Taliban with the Taliban

    Libya, a failed state with open slave markets

    Syria, now run by an ex Al Queda boss


    For all their military might they haven’t achieved much militarily.
    Those trillions may have been better spent improving the lives of ordinary Americans rather than destroying so many lives.

    Once Trump and Bibi mentioned regime change, this became a fight to the death for the mullahs
