Ed Israel/US Attacks Iran /Yet Another Country/Iran

[Ziggurat]

That's the problem that will lead to massive instability in the region: none of the other States have the religious legitimacy the Ayatollah has/had.

Tell me you don't understand Islam without telling me you don't understand Islam.

The Ayatollah had zero religious legitimacy for most arabs.

Good to see the right targets being hit:

Why do you believe the Iranian state media version of events?

 

[Ziggurat]

Facts are facts - schools and hospitals have always been prime targets for Israel - as has been ambushing and executing emergency responders.

Fun fact: you're lying.

 

[Ziggurat]

So we don't know.

You saw through my secret code. Did the word "suspect" give it away?

Why do you believe the Iranian state media version of events?

Why do you believe the Israeli state media version of events?

I've no idea of the truth, but the purported evidence of it being an Iranian failed launch has been debunked. The footage is from hundreds of kilometres away from the school hit.

 

[Ziggurat]

Why do you believe the Israeli state media version of events?

Why do you assume that's where I get my information from?

I didn't assume that The Atheist got his info from Iranian state media, it's explicitly stated in his linked source.

There's two versions of the events. One is sourced from Israel, one from Iran. If you have a third version, please share.

Donald is Netanyahu's bitch.

Our forces are now striking at the heart of Tehran with increasing intensity, and this will only intensify further in the coming days.

We are in a campaign in which we are bringing the full power of the IDF to bear, as never before, in order to ensure our existence and our future.

The combined effort with the United States enables us to do what I have long sought to do for 40 years — to decisively strike the terror regime

The draft-dodger is getting our troops killed in order to project a tough guy act. I'm sure he has other intentions as well, most of them ill, but I'd bet the (fake) tough guy act is top of mind.

Nothing will make a country eschew nuclear weapons like attacking them at whim because they don't have nuclear weapons!

An Iranian friend of mine is celebrating. I hope, for her sake, that something better replaces the Islamic Republic. But I fear for her and other Iranians that Trump and Netanyahu don't have much interest in the well-being of the Iranians.

Don't understand how they can be so naive, but it's wishful thinking born out of desperation, I suppose.

Are any of them adjacent to schools?

You may not like the truth, but you should face up to it.

Israel has obliterated Gaza’s education system and destroyed over half of all religious and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip

Israel used airstrikes, shelling, burning and controlled demolitions to damage and destroy more than 90 percent of the school and university buildings in Gaza

All schools in Gaza have been closed for 625,000 students for 6 months. According to the Ministry of Education, as of 2 April, more than 5,479 students and 261 teachers have been killed in the Gaza Strip since 7 October.

Humanitarian law (IHL) grants schools’ general protection against direct attacks: a direct attack against a school violates the rule of distinction and constitutes a breach of IHL.

The targeted destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system by the Israel Defense Forces amounts to “medicide,” UN experts* said today, accusing Israel of deliberately attacking and starving healthcare workers, paramedics and hospitals to wipe out medical care in the besieged enclave.

The World Health Organization has reported 735 attacks on health care in Gaza from 7 October 2023 to 11 June 2025, that have killed 917 persons and injured 1411, affected 125 health facilities, and damaged 34 hospitals.

“Deliberate attacks on health and care workers, and health facilities, which are gross violations of international humanitarian law, must stop now,” they said.

In a joint statement, national medical associations say hospitals have been repeatedly attacked and subjected to air strikes. At least 94% of hospitals in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. Many are no longer operational. Hundreds of doctors and healthcare workers have been killed.

Education under attack in Gaza, with nearly 90% of school buildings damaged or destroyed

All schools in Gaza have been closed for 625,000 students for 6 months. 87.7% of all school buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. Learn more about the latest on the situation for children in Gaza and our response.

Healthcare in Gaza: a joint statement from national medical associations

The international medical community has watched, with increasing dismay, the destruction inflicted on the Gazan healthcare system by Israeli forces since October 2023. It is calling for a ceasefire, respect for international humanitarian law and protections for healthcare and respect for medical...

Maybe Dump could honour them by inviting their widows to the White House for cold Big Macs. Then he can sit down with them in front of the cameras and gush about how great he is and how gas prices are down but Biden rigged the election and Norway is mean because he didn't get the noble price and the DHS is restoring order and people are saying

Under cover of the Israeli-American offensive on Iran, which could cost countless lives and plunge the entire Middle East into a spiral of violence and destruction, armed settler militias continue to launch organized violent attacks against Palestinian communities in an effort to expand ethnic cleansing throughout the West Bank.Soon after the first air-raid sirens sounded this morning, settler militias set out to attack Palestinian communities across the West Bank, including in Masafer Yatta and the villages of Duma and Qusra, where only yesterday, two activists were assaulted and injured so severely they needed medical evacuation by helicopter.
