U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation, two U.S. officials told Reuters.
Reuters was unable to determine more details about the investigation, including what evidence contributed to the tentative assessment, what type of munition was used, who was responsible or why the U.S. might have struck the school.
If they misidentified the building… Why wouldn’t they double tap it?
The first responders being civilian instead of military is a pretty strong clue. Also a bunch of parents and neighbors showed up, which wouldn’t make any sense if it was a military target.
Wait, do you think they are watching a live feed of every single building during such a thing?
… do you think they aren’t watching the targets they bomb?
I’m pretty sure they don’t, actually
Such a strike where they’re hitting hundreds of sites in a couple of hours with a multitude of planes in the air simultaneously is planned way in advance and carried out with very careful timing. Even bombs are pre-programmed for certain coördinates. There’s just no leeway for stuff like Tom Cruise grabbing the mic and radio’ing “oh no Roystar-5-9 I just saw a baby crawling inside that building, cancel your orders right now!”
The double tap contradicts this. They waited for a response before hitting again, which implies eyes on the site.
Or it was on a timer
Is every strike a double tap? Or was this one picked deliberately for some reason?
I wouldn’t put it past the US military to double tap everything just to be thorough. I have no evidence either way though
Are you saying that they didn’t double tap the military buildings and only the school?
Did they double tap every building?
Well if you’re saying it’s proof if they deliberately doubtle tapped the school, don’t you think that’s a legitimate question?
