Iran demands international action after attacks impact hospitals, schools

"These actions constitute the deliberate commission of the most heinous crimes of international concern. Indifference to this ongoing and extreme injustice will only further darken the future of humanity by jeopardising the shared values upon which our global community stands,” he wrote in a post on social media.

Pir Hossein Kolivand, the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, wrote a letter publicised late on Sunday to the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), demanding an explicit condemnation of attacks impacting children and educational and medical centres.

Good luck, we can’t even hold companies accountable for shooting up our schools, or our own government for executing people in the street and we’re the ones launching the missiles

Iran better hurry up and make some billionaire friends fast

Teheran is quickly running out of water even without new datacenters.

US aggression. Israel wouldn't be able to do any of this is it weren't for the money, advancements,data, and protection it receives from the US... anything you blame Israel for you must blame the US for as well.

I think the point was the Trump regime will conveniently blame the worst of it on Israel

We need to band together against the Untied States now before it picks us off one by one

Should happen highly doubt anyone will do anything and that's not doomerism just recognizing the people in power won't intervene in something like this unless forced to.

Makes me wonder if they are intentionally bombing schools and hospitals or bombing cowardly Iranian leaders hiding under schools and hospitals. I often wonder what is worse 🤔

What I would say is that they are trying to simplify the narratives so that things are as simple as Iranians are the kind of people who hide under schools and hospitals so we don't have to reflect upon anything deeper about colonialism, jingoism and reflected ethnic conflicts being driven into a genocidal overdrive by cynical forces intent on nothing but destruction for profit and distractions for answers.

What matters is that children died who didn't have to, and that this was a choice by US and Iraeli leaders.

There was easily a timeline where those children didn't die, and I think it is a better one than this, both for Iranians and for jews and Israelis. I mean I don't need to qualify it, that timeline is better for all of us, this war is bullshit and the US and Iran started it. That is just the reality of it, as frustrating and heartbreaking as it is.

I return to a central point that no matter what happens in Iran, this attack was undertaken with ZERO internal, domestic accountability and independent of how you feel about Iranian leaders and Iranian politics, supporting this without massive reservations risks normalizing an absolutely evil precedent. Further even if it is revealed at a later point that Democrats were totally onboard with how these strikes went down, that is if anything even more damning of US politics.

We must all say no, and it doesn't really have to do with how evil or not evil the Iranian leadership was or is, it has to do with how we are all so obviously getting played for fools here. If nothing else, you should feel deeply condescended because you have been by this turn of geopolitical events no matter where you live on earth.

You really gonna pull "whataboutism" on the topic of dead children?

Well in this case the school was accidentally hit when a missile strike missed its target by a few hundred meters (there is a IRGC barracks over the road from it)

The other was done intentionally by the iranian regime

Not exactly a whataboutism

Yeah "accidentally missed" an INS + GPS + TV + Laser guided 21st century bomb.

Just like how they "accidentally" bombed practically every Hospital in Gaza.

Or the time that the US "accidentally" bombed the Chinese embassy.

Even the Indian Air Force only missed their target by 50m meters back in 2019 with their crappy Israeli guide bombs. 600m is an order of magnitude larger.

Before it was even run as "accidentally missed", people like you were claiming the IRGC had a missile launcher nearby that failed to launch properly.

Because again, 21st century ballistic missiles just automatically explode upon hitting the ground in the event of a misfire. There's just no such thing as failsafes and fuses.

If I dropped a WWII VT shell, it would just explode immediately right.

I have no idea tbh and I'm really not sure why they'd bomb a girls school when there's a convenient IRGC barracks next door

I'm personally not working for the pentagon but I feel like the barracks may be a better target

On the other hand how do you feel about 7000 dead Iranians in the protests that happened last month?

-2

The theory I've heard is that the building was formally an IRGC building and that the maps used were outdated because Iran was keeping the updates to themselves.

Not like that matters whatsoever, killing civilians is absolutely wrong, regardless of who is doing it

No comment on the Iranian regime killing thousands of protesters over the years? really?

edit: 3 downvotes, nice to see the Russian bots out in force

Oh, and while I am here: fuck Iran, Iranians and everything Iranian.

It is nice to see the bigotry that was evident in my other interactions with you reveal itself so plainly.

This isn't about defending Iran, it is about seeing this blatant regional escalation to war under flimsy pretenses for what it is, which I would think you would be against?

I hope you're not American or else that would be a big ol' bowl of hypocrisy.

Americans are increasingly sick, broke and hungry. They'd be happy with a big old bowl of anything right about now. But hey, as long as we keep funding endless bombs and cash "aid" to the state of Israel so they can have free health care and college, I guess this is fine.

Your comment was removed but Iranians are not comparable to Russians, as you said Russians have been more than happy to invade Ukraine, however Iranians have been protesting their government for years and decades:
