The only reason Iranian bombs aren’t hitting America is because their range isn’t long enough. Iran-commanded forces (located in Iran, Lebanon, Yemen) have been targeting civilians for many years.

The only reason Iran would attack the US is because we back the terror colony of Israel. No Israel, no war.

So to clarify, your argument is it’s ok to target civilians with bombs as long as they are located in a nation that practices terror?

Iran has never targeted the US but if they did, I would assume they would hit military targets.

Iran and its proxies frequently target civilians. They would make an exception for the US?

How many American civilians have Iran killed? I would not consider Zionists to be civilians, they're literally living on stolen land.

You believe that anyone who lives on stolen land is not a citizen and deserves to be bombed? Americans live on stolen land too, as does much of the rest of the world population.

If it was 1570, it would absolutely be valid to remove settlers from the Americas. If fact the Pueblo Revolt is considered to be one of the more successful and justified acts of indigenous resistance.

Ok, it sounds the principle here is if any land was stolen in the 20th century the people who live there now aren’t citizens (regardless if they are children or not) and deserve to be bombed? I hope nobody tells the balkans.

Parents are solely responsible for bringing their children on stolen land. There were indigenous children living there that were murdered.

Crazy that saying 'all Israeli's and Israel supporters are fair targets to kill' (and later stated this includes children) is not just not dead, but not even downvoted here.

WTF

I think most people understand that if a land is invaded, that the invaders are valid targets for resistance.

Declaring that some groups (including that groups children) don't count as civilians is what leads to this:

No, apartheid and genocide lead to backlash.

This is just your opinion. The tragedy here is that there are people with similar opinion and bombs at their disposal that feel complete impunity and go around murdering in the world

Also, remembe the CIA co-staged a coup in Iran in 1953. That's one fact, nor just opinion.

I suspect if the IRGC accidentally blew up a school next to a military base in Oklahoma, they would find it in them to condemn those who made such an innocent mistake.

That's all speculation. What we know is that the US agressed Iran without provocation and in the midst of negotiations and started by blowing up a school and not owning up to it. And now they have threatened multiple times with destroying the civilian energy infrastructure, which is a war crime.
