"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.

      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?

            The theory I’ve heard is that the building was formally an IRGC building and that the maps used were outdated because Iran was keeping the updates to themselves.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

      Why not? It won’t lead to anywhere anyway: Russia burned hundreds of kindergartens, schools and hospitals in Ukraine (some with Iranian weapons). And what?

      Yes UN might proclaim that “Killing kids is bad” but that’s it.

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