This comes after attacking US, French bases and civilian infrastructure in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE as well as their close friends and mediators in Qatar and Oman

They're really determined to prove that they're the bad guys after all, huh?

LOL they were attacked first. The bad guys in this story are Israel and their puppets the USA.

Maybe if we don't count the tens of thousands of Iranian rockets, missiles and drones that they had their proxies launch.

And the proxies? Either directly created or supported at inception by Israel. Or emerged as a response to Israel aggression.

I would love to know which Iranian proxy Israel "directly created". You might be confusing Hamas with Ahmed Yassin's previous charity, which ran schools, mosques and clubs. Even that charity was not "directly created" by Israel, Israel merely allowed them to operate.

Because AFAIK details are murky and debated - that’s why I said “created or supported”.

Just like current Iran situation is due to UK and USA “playing country building” 50-70 years ago.

At Israel, clearly demonstrating that they are the good guys.

After all? As if funding proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq that undermine the state government’s sovereignty was not enough

Well yeah, but they still had a chance to play the victim after the US/Israel strikes (especially if some of the reports about how the negotiations went down are true). Lots of people are still primed to listen to it. But they're not interested in making it easy for their apologists, I guess.

Ok thanks, I agree

Hard to compete with bombing female elementary schools.

Last I checked this was never confirmed to have actually happened.

Again, this information only comes from Iran's state owned media. This is NOT confirmed.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/missile...

that link confirms nothing and reiterates the point that an investigation is ongoing.

Assuming that happened, I guarantee it was a targeting error. The US and Israel have no actual reason to target children, seeing how they have plenty of useful military targets and want (or at least need) the Iranian people's support for regime change.

For what it's worth, Iran has claimed their strikes on Oman were mistake, and I believe that too, since Oman seems to have genuinely been trying to help them. Just Oman though. They apparently feel fine about all the other strikes on bystander nations.

Israel makes a point of bombing schools. They always have.

Israel regularly bombs schools and murders children, it was their signature operation in Gaza.
