The attack on a girls’ elementary school in the Iranian town of Minab was one of the US military’s deadliest civilian bombings in decades. But nearly four months on, the Pentagon has produced no answers about why the military fired a Tomahawk cruise missile into a school on the first day of the war, killing at least 175 people, mostly children.
Some critics doubt that the Pentagon ever will, or will bury the results under classifications to keep the worst mistakes secret from the public.
As the US signs a shaky memorandum of understanding on a ceasefire with Iran, the secretive investigation into the attack has also become a test case for the self-styled secretary of war Pete Hegseth’s new approach to what he calls “warfighting”. As he said in early March, nearly two weeks after the attack, “our rules of engagement are bold, precise and designed to unleash American power, not shackle it”.
Bury the truth… how? The people of the world already know the truth, that both Israeli and US Zionists love to murder brown children and look for any excuse to do it, and any yankee that wants to know the truth already knows the truth too. The public knows. The only people this buries the truth for are people who already don’t want to believe it, and nothing was going to change their minds anyway. They were going to believe whatever they wanted, regardless of whatever the government said.
The largest open issue is whether the targeting was done with AI and if so which AI did it.
It’s because there is attention on it, the US has done shit like this since it’s founding (over the corpses of natives), and despite it being such par for the course stuff done the world over for imperialist super exploitation, this time there is too much attention on it, and so “AI DID IT! Trust me bro!”
I agree with the crux of your argument but I still think that it’s important to find out if AI did the false targeting.
American government face repercussions for war crimes? Hilarious.
Exactly what is the point of war laws when they are constantly broken without consequences?
If not them, then certainly the next Call of Duty game where it will turn out that the dastardly Iranians bombed their own school just to make the burger liberators look bad
