alephnerdIran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia
Accusing Iran of "lashing out" and being "reckless" by attacking US bases while the US and Israel literally murder school children, bomb hospitals and assassinate state leaders is rich.
It didn't have to be this way but they decided this to turn into a fight of survival for Iran and destroy any option for a peaceful resolution. Now they are going to pay the price.
Your comment made me realise that while Iran has attacked a dozen countries, they have yet to attack a school or a hospital.
Not condoning anyone but shows the priority of both sides.
> they have yet to attack a school or a hospital
Most of their ordinance has been intercepted. And a good fraction was unguided enough that it would have hit a school or hospital.
> hit a school
Already has in Azerbaijan [0] and attempted in Israel [1].
Most reporting is hyper-regional and somewhat kept under wraps (eg. Qatar and UAE are actively prosecuting leakers who are using Reddit, and have even taken control of Qatar's subreddit [2]) or reported on in regional languages.
I've found the information control in this conflict to be much more strategic/professional in comparison to what was is seen in Ukraine and Russia.

Aliyev vows attacks on Azerbaijan 'will face our Iron Fist' after Iran drone strike
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev accused Tehran of committing an “act of terror” after Iranian drones attacked its exclave of Nakhchivan, injuring four civilians and damaging an airport building, opening the prospect of the Iran war consequences widening further towards the South Caucasus.
