There is no carpet bombing of Tehran. This person is thus not a reputable source and you need to start doubting the rest of the claims until you find a better source.

Are you arguing semantics over the use of “carpet bombing”? Because it was definitely bombed.

Smoke rises after airstrikes in various parts of Iran's capital Tehran

Plumes of smoke were seen rising across various parts of Tehran on Thursday morning as U.S.-Israeli airstrikes continued to pound the Iranian capital.

Bombed, yes. Carpet bombed, no.
Which means they were targeted, which is somehow so much worse.
They mean striking civilian targets when they say carpet bombing, they don’t mean WW2 style mass dumb bombing.
They mean what they say and it is propaganda. In addition, the amount of civilian targets hit are few. The Islamic regime itself is responsible for a lot more deaths. The opinions of regime-critical Iranians inside the country can be summarized like this: yes, bombs are scary, but the regime is more scary.

Bro two hospitals and a school where they haven’t shown a valid target nearby is three civilian targets too many for the most technologically advanced military in the world.

Double tapping is just fuel on a bonfire but sure if prevaricating for fascists is your deal then carry on.

I just read an article in another post where the school used to be one of seven buildings of a military base

Keyword used to be, we have the largest Intel apparatus of any nation, combine that with Israel being at the very least top ten especially when it comes to Iran.

They knew, stop trying to make excuses for the inexcusable.

I still don’t think they knew, or at least mistakes were made. I don’t see any reason to stike like 500 military targets and then just that particular school.

People give the US too much credit

So you’re under the impression we know how to find their nuclear program, is exact storage locations, the defenses in place, how much rock and concrete it’s under but somehow some way can’t use a telephone book to find out it’s a girl’s school or use satellite photography to see school children going in and out on a daily basis?

Really that makes more sense to you then people taking part in a self proclaimed holy war striking civilian targets?

Yeah, I do indeed think intel on that other stuff you mentioned might get more attention

How do you explain that out of, say, 5000 schools, they attacked just the one?

I don’t need to explain that, no school should be targeted.

How do you explain the fact they double tapped it if it were in fact mistaken?

You’re trying to misrepresent the question

If saying that this wasn’t an error, how do you explain them hitting (almost) no schools and (almost) exclusively military targets? Why would they add just the one school?

We’ve gone over this, they say it’s a holy war. How do you get war powers? You piss off Iran enough to do some actual damage to us personnel either overseas or here at home.

Why just one? Because one allows you to have sycophants or useful idiots to excuse it as a mistake like for instance what you are doing.

You believe they’ve bombed a singular school so it would be discussed on Lemmy?
No they bombed a school to spur terror attacks throughout the region and especially in the USA. And you really think it’s just lemmy people are talking about it.
Why not two schools then

Just to understand your claim: you’re saying Israel and the US are attacking hospitals with precision bombs, not carpet bombs? Not sure which would be better, to be honest.

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says

Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

This has been Israel’s M.O. for literal decades.
