WaPo - Land mines dispersed across a residential area near Shiraz, Iran, may be the first instance in more than two decades of US forces using such weapons. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2026/03/27/iran-us-land-mines/
Iran images appear to show land mines scattered by U.S. forces, a first in years

The land mines were photographed in a village outside Shiraz, about three miles from one of several nearby Iranian ballistic missile sites.

Hasn't the entire world banned the use of landmines?

Am I making that up?

@401matthall @newsguyusa Ha! Just ask John Bolton - he’s a vocal proponent of landmines.

@FeloniousPunk

Of course he is.

... How is there _no_ emoji for a mustache?

... I swear I don't understand the world.

Nice. I wouldn't get that without the additional context but I like it.
