Possibly relevant are the concerns of the use of AI to determine targets. A park called "police park" was bombed and this has been taking as part of an increasing collection of evidence of "warslop". The park had nothing to do with police or the military and was likely determined by AI

Sent a chill down my spine.
Based on what? It could be just grep "police".
Also, I cannot find any other sources mentioning that the "Police Park" was bombed except for this tweet: https://x.com/tparsi/status/2029555364262228454 (also used by the page you linked)
AI was heavily used to analyze traffic cameras for months leading up to the attack. This is something israel already admitted to. Officials have boasted about knowing the daily routines of high ranking officials, their favorite vehicles, and even which spot they prefer to park
> According to the Post, Palantir’s Maven Smart System—which contains Anthropic’s Claude AI language model—reportedly helped US commanders select 1,000 Iranian targets during the war’s first 24 hours alone.
They said it explicitly. AI being used to determine targets.
The (incorrect) assumption you’re making here is that the US not only is using AI for later stage targeting, but that there is also no human who signed off on this. Note that the AI targeting system here, Maven, has been around even before GPT-2.
This is just pure AI alarmism. The worst part is absolutely anybody can sign up for Palantir AIP right now for free and see what it actually does with LLMs (spoiler: very boring!)
> The Washington Post reported Wednesday that the US military in Iran has “leveraged the most advanced artificial intelligence it’s ever used in warfare, a tool that could be difficult for the Pentagon to give up even as it severs ties with the company that created it.”

Second of all, I agree. There is certainly a human signing off.
But AI ethics research has shown a clear and consistent a human bias towards trusting automated systems when there is ambiguity.
I am not at all trying to redirect blame but I think it'd be foolish to not acknowledge the risks introduced with involving AI in decision making even if a human ultimately makes the call
More accurate: US missile capable of < 5 meters of accuracy hits Iranian school 200m away from military base, according to BBC.
> Middle East Eye, citing survivors and first responders, reported a possible "double-tap" strike — a second explosion hitting the area shortly after the first, striking people who had taken shelter.
Killing at least 175, mostly children.
Mark my words, we're either going to attempt to occupy Iran or glass it in the coming months. That was the goal from the beginning, even if Trump seemed a bit unaware of that at first.
What does it take, exactly, for Donald Trump to be formally accused of war crimes and arrested on sight if he ever visits some actually civilized countries?
Even if you think they are simply wreckless, it is well-established that wrecklessness still constitutes war crimes

> At least 13 hospitals and other health facilities have been hit during the US-Israel attacks on Iran, global health chiefs have said.The World Health Organization (WHO) said it was checking reports that four medics had been killed and 25 others injured.
And here's Al Jazeera:

> The Iranian Red Crescent chief said that at least 3,090 homes, 528 commercial centres, 13 medical facilities and nine Red Crescent centres have been hit in Israeli-US strikes. Officials reported damage to major medical facilities, including Khatam Hospital, Gandhi Hospital, and various rehabilitation and welfare centres.
> Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed on Thursday that the US and Israeli strikes have targeted 33 civilian locations nationwide, including hospitals, schools, residential areas, the Tehran Grand Bazaar, and the historic Golestan Palace complex – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Which to say is likely not political at all, just ragebait to encourage interactions. HN is no less immune to this tactic than Twitter, Tiktok, etc.
Look at how the world has watched the US starving Cuba for decades, to take one example of many. Every year, every country except the US and Israel vote in the UN to condemn the sanctions. And every year, no one actually helps Cuba, because America threatens insane consequences.
Not genius. Just threats. Not very smart at all, if we want a liveable planet.
You can tell yourself that multiple air defense missile all failed the same way and fell at the same place, but saying that a single missile (especially air defense missile) erased the school is wrong.
- Multiple missiles of unknown origin hit the school where at least 110 schoolgirl died.
- Multiple missiles hit IRGC hospital/clinic near that school around the same time.
- one missile that struck the hospital/clinic was identified as a Tomahawk, which would indicate that the strikes were from US force.
While it is impossible to be 100% sure that the school was also struck by the US, the multiple strikes make the US 'air defense missile miss' story extremely unlikely.
The fact that the salvo that hit the hospital was from the US make it more likely that they also struck the school, and not Israel.
Does it matter? We're unreservedly partnered with them in this and other pursuits. Moral culpability is shared.
Also from the Wikipedia page:
> Subsequent investigations by The New York Times, CBC and NPR among others concluded that the United States was likely responsible for the strike. Sources involved with the United States military's internal investigation of the strike similarly told Reuters that the strike was likely perpetrated by the United States, though the investigation's final conclusion had not yet been reached.[12] The attack was condemned by the Iranian government, UNESCO,[13][14] and other international human rights organizations and activists as a violation of international humanitarian law.
But a quote I heard during the election of Pope Leo:-
> “Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope.' And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don't want America running the world religiously. So, I think there's some truth to that, that we're such a superpower and so dominant, they don't wanna give us, also, control over the church."
Has stuck with me, and I thought it to be a little far fetched. But here we are and I find it hard to deny America is in decline.
because Pentagon refuses to deny it
US is starting to either accidentally or on purpose take out desalinization plants too
That's going to murder way more than 200 civilians and is another war crime
BTW they are still murdering fishermen off Venezuela, that never stopped
BTW the people in government seems to still be trying to coverup a international child trafficking ring.
What I can see, is that the tactic of "distract them with something even more fucked up" seems to be working perfectly well, and each time they go one step further up the ladder, and media re-focus accordingly.
Like, if you're fighting someone and they stab you in the gut, then push you over and start stomping your face, are they distracting you from treating your stab wound? Maybe in the most literal sense, but the more apt description of the situation overall is that they're doing whatever they can to kill you.
Yes, they are? If they just stabbed you and then left you, then you could treat your wound. If they instead continue to attack you, it's quite literally because they felt it wasn't enough, and don't want to let you treat yourself.
Anyways, bit silly example, we're not talking about two humans in a violent knife fight, we're talking about a person and administration guilty of so many crimes that it's hard for people to keep track and even less do anything about it.
Color me surprised if the person who said "why are you still talking about Epstein? Stop doing that" might want to try to do distracting things to make people stop talking about Epstein.
Do you have a pic for the school specifically? A link perhaps?

> Wes Bryant, a national security analyst who served in the US Air Force, also confirmed it was a Tomahawk missile.
> Bryant added that the evidence for multiple strikes on the entire IRGC compound "is indicative of a deliberate and precise" US operation.
> N R Jenzen Jones, director of Armament Research Services, previously told BBC Verify it was unlikely an Iranian missile had caused the significant blast damage seen at the school because they carry "relatively small explosive warheads".
This wasn't a technical failure but an intelligence failure. And above all a moral failure
There is an open question as to who was responsible. This is an area that was targeted by US strikes but the US has not yet claimed responsibility.
There were many buildings in the same facility that were targeted. The building used by the school used to be part of the military facility many years ago: a leading hypothesis is that the school was intentionally and precisely targeted but based on outdated information, with the belief that it was a military target.
This new video evidence is the first video evidence that confirms that at least one of the buildings was indeed hit by a US missile. While there is no video yet released of a missile hitting the school, it is suggestive evidence that a US missile was also responsible for destroying the school, since satellite imagery shows all the buildings in that facility being destroyed around the same time and in a similar way.
BBC Verify has previously established through satellite imagery, verified videos and expert analysis that the area near the school was hit by a series of strikes.
Experts who have seen this latest video told us the presence of a Tomahawk missile, along with evidence the area was hit with multiple strikes, indicates this was a US operation. Neither Israel nor Iran are known to possess Tomahawks, experts said.
It would also make the scenario of a single Iranian missile hitting the site at the same time and causing such a high reported death toll highly improbable, an expert told BBC Verify.i don't really trust the BBC too much either. i'm just curious if there's a specific pattern of coverage or if this is a general feeling.
