No he didn't follow a plan. The plans said things like Iran would counter attack and try to close the strait. Trump and his team didn't even look at the plans. They went with Netanyahu's suggestion

The biggest clue to that bombing is them admitting they asked AI for targets and it delivered outdated info

Outdated info from where?

Seems to me like it would have come from plans drawn up 10+ years ago about where to target.

They didn't even evacuate their bases in advance! They didn't even install air defenses at them! They did nothing whatsoever to prepare! They just assumed instant success!

I genuinely don't know why you're giving them the benefit of the doubt.

None of us here knows the truth, and I would posit that it's just as likely, if not more likely, that that school was targeted intentionally, as it was used for the children of IRGC officers.

Your point about demoralising the IRGC by killing their kids is interesting but is outweighed by the predictable public fallout and the resolve of IRGC to avenge the deaths.

Picking off leaders is one thing. Killing their kids is counterproductive.

At no point that did I say that the killing of the girls was a strategic move to demoralize the IRGC.

And I remain dumbfounded as to why you keep giving the benefit of the doubt to Trump and Hegseth.

I'm not saying it was a strategic choice, I'm saying I could easily see Pete being a sadist who got off on killing those schoolgirls, who approved the strike package based on that alone, and that's before you even consider his crusades and killing Muslims fetishes.

In that scenario fact that they are the children of IRGC members just gives him an excuse to rationalize his choice to pleasure himself with their blood.

Again, I don't know that's what happened, but I know it's just as likely as it being an "oppsie" when the man in charge of the Pentagon is a known abuser of women, in addition to being a drunk moron ultra Zionist Christian nationalist with crusader tattoos.
