https://newrepublic.com/post/208395/donald-trump-targets-children-strike-iran-orphanageThe U.S. and Israel have reportedly attacked an Iranian orphanage, killing two people and injuring five others.
The Monday strike targeted a newly built orphan charity complex in Fardis, a city about 25 miles west of Tehran, according to CNN, based on reporting from Fars News Agency, a semiofficial state news agency in Iran.
This strike marks the start of the fifth week of Donald Trumps reckless war in Iran, where strikes have already killed at least 230 children and injured an additional 1,800, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported Sunday.
The war began with the U.S. conducting a horrific strike on a girls primary school in Minab that killed at least 168 children and 14 teachers. A preliminary inquiry found that the strike was the result of using outdated intelligence. What will Americas excuse for wanton violence be this time?
This shit is deliberate. They are going after the next generation.
The longer this goes on, the greater the risk to Americans at home.

(38,050 posts)FWIW . . . It's the next generation. I'm also assuming that unlike the American Govt - the Iranian Govt loves their children.
All this is going to do is cause more anger and hatred.
And broken little bodies - and dead little bodies. With MY tax dollars. I'd rather feed hungry American children, make sure our Seniors had free (not an insurance extra) vision, dental, and hearing . . . and our folks with disabilities had access to assisted living and independence.
Instead - we are killing Iranians. For NO good reason.

And yes Americans hate their own children.
So why be nice to another country's children?

I am skeptical the US military is "going after the next generation" of Iranians deliberately - on MFer's or Hegseth's orders.

(814 posts)Perhaps its too soon but I suspect we will get attacked somewhere/sometime/somehow shortly. even before Iran, i thought we were ripe for anything because of all the unqualified people running the government. Not to mention all the DOGE cuts leaving agencies severely under-staffed. Nobody minding the store.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/31/whats-israels-death-penalty-law-that-only-applies-to-palestinians
The Israeli parliaments approval of a legislation that seeks the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks has stoked fears among the Palestinians and drawn condemnation from the international community, dismayed at the further entrenching of what rights groups have long described as Israels system of apartheid.
The law, which does not apply to Jewish citizens of Israel, was met with jubilation among its backers in the countrys far right.

(934 posts)He figures if you go after the king, you need to kill all the heirs.
He's right, but it's been tried and it never really works at scale because of the wholesale genocide thing. Someone always remembers...
I think that's what the B-52's are for... "I said no ground troops, but I never said anything about firestorms."
It's more "warish" than death squads, and hey, they can blame AI , or manufacturers, or Congress, or Europe being pussies, or something else for "having no choice" but to do it.
