I just saw Trump’s announcement. He explicitly says this is an action intended to produce a regime change. Seems pretty cut and dry about what this is and how it should be treated

Edit.. The speech of Donald “I stopped 8 wars” Trump in full

Bombing a girls’ school in Iran will free them :disappointed_face:

Edit

This isn’t fake news. Multiple sources (AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, Reuters, Iranian IRNA) report a US-Israel strike hit Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran today. Death toll at the school: 40-51 children killed, ~45-60 wounded per Iranian officials (figures rising).

Coming straight out of the modern “journalism” playbook of regurgitating press releases as “reportin”.

Agency reports now putting the number of little girls killed at the school in Southern Iran at 80. Unclear whether it was US or Israeli missle responsible. Track record might suggest Israel. Disgusting slaughter.

At least they are ‘free’ though.

Most western media reporting it downpage or embedded in news reports. Can’t find it anywhere on BBC website but maybe it’s buried.

Will the FiFA Peace Prize trophy fit up Infantino’s arse?

Damn it, thanks for painting that picture in my head. Shivers.

Don’t worry, there is at least good coverage of the luxury hotels in Dubai getting hit.

I expect the school was probably hit by US forces. That target is a long way from Israel, and the Israelis have previously focused very tightly on Tehran and/or nuclear program sites - often using a shared air corridor for their strike forces once they reach Iraqi or Saudi airspace.

I’d like to think we will find out eventually but fully expect the story to be yanked completely within hours and never revisited again. BBC reporters too busy quoting all the ordinary Iranians ‘wildly celebrating’ the attack from their ‘liberators’ Israel and the US.

That’s my line, nice to see it doing the rounds :smiley:.

If only the nobel peace prize was handed out for not starting wars instead of ending the ones you did start, maybe that’d work. Ah well, at least the most vigilant of Trump supporters don’t have to witness Kamala’s ‘WWIII’ presidential term. Remember, Trump = Peace and Harris = Sending your kids to war.

I wonder what that ‘nib’ would look like in the Guardian or any other media if Iran had bombed an Israeli girls primary school and killed 80 little kids.
