RED FUCKING ALERT

The United States is dropping land mines around villages in Iran. Images posted to social media Thursday show what experts said are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran, in what appears to be the first instance in more than two decades of American forces using the weapons.

The photos show American BLU-91/B anti-tank land mines, which are released from an aircraft as part of the Gator mine scattering system, according to four munitions experts who reviewed the imagery at The Washington Post’s request. The United States is the only party in the Iran war known to possess the system.

LAND MINES ARE A WAR CRIME! What in the actual fuck are we doing here? This is a violation of law, of sense, and of humanity. Den Hague for everyone involved.

In 2024, (latest year analyzed)landmines and other explosive remnants of war killed or injured 6,279 people globally, the highest annual total since 2020. This included 1,945 deaths and 4,325 injuries.

Civilians made up 90% of the victims, with children accounting for nearly half (46%) of civilian casualties.

Landmines get hidden quickly by dust. These munitions are not stable and cause enormous damage over a wide area. I believe one might consider doing the teeniest bit of research before commenting on the mental acuity of children forced to walk through a minefield to get to school.
