In a post on microblogging site X the embassy wrote, "Remember these two criminals. Leigh R. Tate, the commander, and Jeffrey E. York, the executive officer of the USS Spruance, who ordered the launch of Tomahawk missiles three times, killing 168 innocent children at a school in #Minab."
The post ended emotionally by saying, “Remember these two. Don’t they have children of their own?".

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Iran does social media extremely well
Between the Lego video and this doxxing campaign, I agree.
Downvoted for sharing image of text.
Please write the coordinates. It will be easier for the Iranian military spiders to parse.
Neat. Now use the word, please. Terrorists. This was an act of terrorism.
On the orders of the President of the United States, and famous paedophile, Donald Jack-off Trump.
No, you see the good soldiers will not comply with illegal orders. I’ve been assured that the military receives super dooper strict training unlike the police and knows all about rules of engagement yadda yadda yadda.
When a soldier doesn't want to follow illegal orders, they're body has a way of shutting down and stopping it from happening
Just FIY: WION is an Indian media outlet.
The whole world knows that the USA are responsible for the slaughter of children in Iran. But thanks for reminding us again. BTW, I hear that behind the scenes more and more soldiers are complaining about the way the US army is run (christofascist rhetoric, among other things). They should complain about or straight refuse the orders they're given next.
Yeah I only trust foreign mainstream media and U.S independent media.
I wish the people and family of these US soldiers know what they do fo a paycheck the next time they "thank them for their service".
These US soldiers follow orders like Nazis. They bomb developing-world countries and mas murder schoolgirls and civilians to enrich their epiestien-class masters. These absolute physcopathic scums of society are not defending their homeland or fighting for anyone freedom.
Strange that they use the word "criminal" instead of "terrorist"
Literally everyone in the US military that's involved in the war in Iran is a criminal. Starting a war with another country that hasn't done anything to you is an unprovoked act of aggression. That's a war crime under the UN charter.
But bombing a school isn't just a war crime. It's an act of terror. These particular criminals aren't just war criminals. They're terrorists
No mention of the fact that using AI for determining targeting was likely response for targeting the school.
