How the BBC chose to report on the US and Israeli attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran:

1. It used “dead” instead of “killed,” softening the violence and removing agency.
2. It relied on passive construction, carefully avoiding naming the perpetrators — the United States and Israel.
3. It added “Iran says,” subtly framing the massacre itself as an allegation rather than an established event.

@ml "Correction" 2 is valid only after the side which shot has been proven. "Correction" 3 is valid, when there are independent confirmations.

Only the US and Israel governments claim otherwise. Don't be so naive.

That they didn't do it.
The only thing we don't know is if the missile was fired by the US or Israel. But that's irrelevant at this point.

@nachof @ml do they really claim anything in that regard?

Second, obviously only the countries having information from the ground can give primary info l.e. we have to either believe an intelligence or believe Iran. Bad choice.
