There is no carpet bombing of Tehran. This person is thus not a reputable source and you need to start doubting the rest of the claims until you find a better source.
Just to understand your claim: you’re saying Israel and the US are attacking hospitals with precision bombs, not carpet bombs? Not sure which would be better, to be honest.
Ryan Grim is an investigative journalist who has a strong track record of accurate and groundbreaking reporting. Whatever semantics arguments you have doesn’t make him any less reputable or this statement any less correct.
He’s providing context to help people understand what a Kurdish Iranian imam was saying about a washed up son of a former dictator. I’m not sure what’s more pathetic, your lack of reading comprehension or that you genuinely think Pahlavi is an “Iranian opposition leader”. lol
It seems to be a tragic case of incorrect intel that lead to the school in Minab being targeted. I hope the US will take responsibility for it and improve procedures, this is not acceptable.
Carpet bombing is a way to discredit the attacks to indiscriminately target civilians. This is not the case. Yes, civilians who are in the wrong place at the wrong time sadly get caught in the cross fire, and sometimes intel is wrong. But the attacks so far have not proven to deliberately target civilians.
They mean what they say and it is propaganda. In addition, the amount of civilian targets hit are few. The Islamic regime itself is responsible for a lot more deaths. The opinions of regime-critical Iranians inside the country can be summarized like this: yes, bombs are scary, but the regime is more scary.
Bro two hospitals and a school where they haven’t shown a valid target nearby is three civilian targets too many for the most technologically advanced military in the world.
Double tapping is just fuel on a bonfire but sure if prevaricating for fascists is your deal then carry on.
Keyword used to be, we have the largest Intel apparatus of any nation, combine that with Israel being at the very least top ten especially when it comes to Iran.
They knew, stop trying to make excuses for the inexcusable.
I still don’t think they knew, or at least mistakes were made. I don’t see any reason to stike like 500 military targets and then just that particular school.
People give the US too much credit

So you’re under the impression we know how to find their nuclear program, is exact storage locations, the defenses in place, how much rock and concrete it’s under but somehow some way can’t use a telephone book to find out it’s a girl’s school or use satellite photography to see school children going in and out on a daily basis?
Really that makes more sense to you then people taking part in a self proclaimed holy war striking civilian targets?

This has been Israel’s M.O. for literal decades.

Hey, your reporter with “a strong track record” is posting gossip to discredit the Iranian opposition leader: https://x.com/i/status/2028841292856254552

Are you arguing semantics over the use of “carpet bombing”? Because it was definitely bombed.

Bombed, yes. Carpet bombed, no.
Which means they were targeted, which is somehow so much worse.
… so they precision struck those targets then?
Your problem with Ryan Grim is he didn’t paint a bad enough picture?

Fair enough.
They mean striking civilian targets when they say carpet bombing, they don’t mean WW2 style mass dumb bombing.
They mean what they say and it is propaganda. In addition, the amount of civilian targets hit are few. The Islamic regime itself is responsible for a lot more deaths. The opinions of regime-critical Iranians inside the country can be summarized like this: yes, bombs are scary, but the regime is more scary.
STOP JUSTIFYING THIS. YOU. ARE. BRAINWASHED.

Yeah, I do indeed think intel on that other stuff you mentioned might get more attention
How do you explain that out of, say, 5000 schools, they attacked just the one?
