Spokespeople for the US Department of Defense and the Israeli army told Time magazine and The Associated Press news agency that they were unaware that a school had been hit.

Some websites and social media accounts linked to Israel claimed the site was “part of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base”.

However, an analysis by Al Jazeera’s digital investigations unit of satellite imagery compiled over more than a decade, as well as recent video clips, published news reports and statements from official Iranian sources, tells a very different story.

The findings reveal that the school had been clearly separate from an adjacent military site for at least 10 years.

Of course it's deliberate. The Zionist playbook is well known after decades watching the Palestinian genocide. Just because the United States is copying it doesn't make it an accident. It's because they are copying it, we know it is intentional.

The US isn't copying it. We were founded on it.

Fair enough.

I'm sure you already knew that, just wanted to remove any ambiguity for anyone else. o7

To be completely transparent, I really believe we, including Nazi Germany during Hitler's rise and reign, there is both copying and scaffolding. One-upsmanship? Just building on the foundation that's already been laid? Why not both?!

A pity it's not for our better inclinations. We can address that.

Agreed. And as long as we are still cursed with western dominated capitalism, this will continue to be the way. Hopefully for not much longer.

It would be vastly more surprising if it wasn't, it is the US and Israel, the world's 2 most prominent terrorist states. And Israel is a vassal of the US so they run the same playbook.

Interesting this article is brought up. CBC news put out a similar article that was really weird. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/iran-school-bombing-investigation-9.7114994
