It will be forgotten soon.
it won't. Opposing US political side will weaponize this incident in their interests.
It appears the IRGC has chosen civilian targets (eg: high rise apartments, airports, oil fields) on purpose, but if not, then they have such poor technology that their strikes are random.
Killing people in 11 nations to put pressure on the two nations that actually attacked you is a good demonstration of the Iranian regime's morals.
If the USA or Israel bombed this school, it clearly was an accident, since the only party it benefits is the Iranian regime.
I can understand why Iran considers most gulf states complicit.

That's: Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Oman.
There is no point for the IRGC to do this other than to create such chaos and fear that the world pressures America to relent.
I think it's more likely that the US was going off of outdated intelligence.

"It can be said with a degree of confidence that, in 2013, the site was used exclusively as a military barracks with a strict security character, as there was no indication of an independent civilian use of any part of the complex.
But this changed radically in 2016. Satellite images dated September 6, 2016 capture the main turning point, when new internal walls were created and built, fully and tightly separating the school building area from the rest of the military block."
If they work with intelligence data older than 10 years, then this would still account to gross negligence, possibly counting as a war crime. But misstakes happen and they did used AI for target tracking.
But the other interpretation is more dark. Because it was not just some school, but a school where the children of the IRGC go, the elite of the system. And Trump said he does not want a regime change, but rather someone from the current system who just bows to US demands. So the threat of killing all the leadership, anyone could be next - but also the threat to kill also their children and familiy until they surrender.
To quote Hegseth:
"no stupid rules of engagement,” “no politically correct wars,” and “no nation-building quagmire.”
Threatening to kill also their families makes sense with this kind of language and logic. At some point you will find someone who values the life of his family higher than that of the nation and religion.
But I do hope my theory is wrong.
As for whether it was AI - the US DOD Ethic's first tenent is Responsible - personnel remain responsible...
The ultimate hubris is launching a multi million dollar missile to kill civilians because you couldn’t be bothered to check Google street view (or whatever).
Shame on you.
While Israel has enough intelligence to track where the Ayatollah is hidden away after the initial strikes on Iran. Does that sound believable to you? Either Israel and USA are pisspoor at coordinating intelligence, or Israel wilfully let the US attack the place and take the flak for it.
I don't really know how these systems work, perhaps I shouldn't speak without research.
But it seems like a pretty basic error.
The base has looks like 5 buildings in an L shape. 4 buildings where hit in an L shape.
I can imagine the sites were picked from a satellite image and the wrong building was marked.
Or in flight from the camera the wrong buildings were marked.
It is our arrogance that we can blow up hundreds of buildings that makes us try and see meaning behind these mistakes.
Instead we should just be far more cautious about blowing buildings up because these mistakes are inevitable.
The perfect just war simply does not exist.
Agree.
In the moment before war is initiated, before a strike is launched against a country, the leaders considering war must immediately assume they are likely to destroy a school full of children some point.
The explanation is simpler. They want death, so they are bombing shit indiscriminately
Hitting a school was not a mistake, it was the point.
The NYT had some good reporting on this, and you can see how the mistake was made. The elementary school used to be part of the IRGC base until 2016. Then it was fenced off and made an elementary school. The “shooter” (in this case, the USA) had a duty to check that the target was currently a valid military target. This verification, if it was done at all, was clearly the problem.
I’m sure you have someone directly responsible for this mistake who is going to have a hard time living with themselves. But like I said, starting a war leads to inevitable tragedy, and I doubt the people who are indirectly responsible will ever recognize their culpability in this.
I don't think whoever was responsible for this gives many fucks about the lives of Iranians.
If a foreign power bombed anything in the US and children died people would just consider them monsters, without further considerations. No one would be pondering about faulty intel.
I refuse to launder the vileness of the aggressors here.
Hegseth said to your face "No stupid rules of engagement", "This is not a politically correct war"
These are the people who have been purposely and loudly defending Israel bombing innocent people. They genuinely believe, as they say to your face, that it is important and necessary to be brutal and extreme to win war.
Intentionally disregarding rules of engagement and protecting innocent life IS intentionally bombing that school. Civilian casualties are a reality of war and the best you can do is work your ass off to reduce them, so openly advocating for NOT doing that is intentionally killing people.
Today a boy's school in Iran was affected by an explosion. The intelligence received by the US chronically seems troubled.
Israel definitely has a lot of moles in Iran. They weren’t bothered to confirm whether the target is a school. US earlier tried to turn it on Iran’s failed defense launch.
US Military: investigating whether it's responsible.
"Mandeep": rants about Israel.
Is that true? I can imagine it's true at first, going from zero bits of information to 1, etc. But information rots over time, and eventually a collection of old information may rot faster than new information improves the world view.
Also, the overall world view isn't especially important, at least not in this case. Each element's accuracy is what's important.
Hopefully each tag is accompanied by a date, at least.
They are the worst of the worst! Always projecting!!
Republicans spread hatred about trans people during the day, but at night, they thirst for them and get caught fucking them.
Their voters are just next level dilusionals!!
