Hamas were obviously hiding rockets in there.

Some confusion at what is in Minab to target (perhaps someone rather than something), and it is surprising that the Israelis would be involved in targeting that area, and that it would be targeted at all. Striking that closes to the Straits of Hormuz really sets up the area as a direct conflict zone.

According to the Guardian’s live feed, the IRGC has a base in Minab. Trust the Israeli’s to ‘accidentally’ hit a civilian target.
I am sure it was an accident. There is no payoff for them to hit that school, it is a significant humanitarian disaster right out of the gate. Where they deserve real criticism is in target planning and perhaps systems selection. They have been allowed to be at least sloppy without consequences in Gaza, if not outright indiscriminate. Not sure this will be radically different, of course.
The tldr is don’t attack non-critical targets next to an elementary school - and there is absolutely no way a IRGC base there is critical. I expect some nonsense about critical missile capacity or something, but no one puts launch sites in a residential neighbourhood. It makes them too vulnerable, for a start.

Do they not have a sense of “Cringe” in America.

So regime change without an army to occupy the power vacuum ? Iranian opposition have barely any weapons. How exactly are they supposed to rise up without getting slaughtered ? Even in Libya, which is not considered a great success, one had armed factions to occupy the vacuum. In Iran there are some Kurdish guerillas, but the Persian people have no weapons. I am very skeptical of what good, long term, can come out of this.

Yeah, it is what most Iranians hope for, but I think they will be disappointed
That is always the outcome of any war, especially when conducted by reckless people like the current ones. Ultimately, it’s always the innocent who pay for their geopolitical schemes.
RIP, and commiserations to their mourning families.

Hey, as long as Netanyahu can gin up support in the elections and that fat shite can distract from Epstein, whatever works right?

Regime change…while seemingly also taking out candidates who might have domestic support to take over

We’re seemingly rerunning the Pahlavi play even though he really only has support among American portion of the Diaspora

Are you surprised? This administration is all about who can buy their way to the ear of the toddler-in-charge.

Pretty stupid by iran, but then again they wouldn’t have been bombed in the first place if they were level headed and not involved in stupid High Risk Geopolitical gambling.
Clearly a Shaheed
There are millions of Iranians who wants freedom inside iran. By far the majority (and a considerable number who now cheer these strikes). None of them, almost none, want the Shah back, as you say. The disconnect shown by the Americans regarding the Shah is spectacular. Pure fantasy that he has legitimacy.

Yeah, you need gun batteries for protracted conflicts, not interceptors, as shown in Ukraine. Not that I think this is in any way comparable to Ukraine obviously. This will be over in a bit, so they won’t run out of interceptors, but it will be expensive for the Americans and their Gulf allies.

Been under consistent missile attack for about 12 hours now, but all safe and no major issues my end.
Heartbroken by the civilian casualties and hoping the conflict is resolved quickly.
