"These actions constitute the deliberate commission of the most heinous crimes of international concern. Indifference to this ongoing and extreme injustice will only further darken the future of humanity by jeopardising the shared values upon which our global community stands,” he wrote in a post on social media.

Pir Hossein Kolivand, the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, wrote a letter publicised late on Sunday to the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), demanding an explicit condemnation of attacks impacting children and educational and medical centres.

So bleak and so accurate at the same time.

[-] ianhclark510@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago

Good luck, we can’t even hold companies accountable for shooting up our schools, or our own government for executing people in the street and we’re the ones launching the missiles

Iran better hurry up and make some billionaire friends fast

[-] nullPointer@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago

Lockheed Martin

Schools and Hospitals bombed? Israel aggression confirmed.

[-] DillDough@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

US aggression. Israel wouldn't be able to do any of this is it weren't for the money, advancements,data, and protection it receives from the US... anything you blame Israel for you must blame the US for as well.

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Oh yes... the USA is a cursed hellhole in my books

[-] lnxtx@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 week ago

Fricking Hamas commanders. /s

But for real, it's called a Dahiya doctrine.

[-] urandom@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Seriously, why is Israel the way it is

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Because it was a colonialist apartheid project from the start. Colonialists gonna colonialist.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone -3 points 1 week ago

and what justice for the thousands you killed last month?

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

You really gonna pull "whataboutism" on the topic of dead children?

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone -1 points 1 week ago

Well in this case the school was accidentally hit when a missile strike missed its target by a few hundred meters (there is a IRGC barracks over the road from it)

The other was done intentionally by the iranian regime

Not exactly a whataboutism

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Yeah "accidentally missed" an INS + GPS + TV + Laser guided 21st century bomb.

Just like how they "accidentally" bombed practically every Hospital in Gaza.

Or the time that the US "accidentally" bombed the Chinese embassy.

Even the Indian Air Force only missed their target by 50m meters back in 2019 with their crappy Israeli guide bombs. 600m is an order of magnitude larger.

Before it was even run as "accidentally missed", people like you were claiming the IRGC had a missile launcher nearby that failed to launch properly.

Because again, 21st century ballistic missiles just automatically explode upon hitting the ground in the event of a misfire. There's just no such thing as failsafes and fuses.

If I dropped a WWII VT shell, it would just explode immediately right.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone -1 points 1 week ago

I have no idea tbh and I'm really not sure why they'd bomb a girls school when there's a convenient IRGC barracks next door

I'm personally not working for the pentagon but I feel like the barracks may be a better target

On the other hand how do you feel about 7000 dead Iranians in the protests that happened last month?

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No comment on the Iranian regime killing thousands of protesters over the years? really?

edit: 3 downvotes, nice to see the Russian bots out in force

[-] username_1@programming.dev -2 points 1 week ago

Why not? It won't lead to anywhere anyway: Russia burned hundreds of kindergartens, schools and hospitals in Ukraine (some with Iranian weapons). And what?

Yes UN might proclaim that "Killing kids is bad" but that's it.

Oh, and while I am here: fuck Iran, Iranians and everything Iranian.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Your comment was removed but Iranians are not comparable to Russians, as you said Russians have been more than happy to invade Ukraine, however Iranians have been protesting their government for years and decades:

It is nice to see the bigotry that was evident in my other interactions with you reveal itself so plainly.

This isn't about defending Iran, it is about seeing this blatant regional escalation to war under flimsy pretenses for what it is, which I would think you would be against?

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago

Shhhh, Iran is the victim now.

[-] Frog@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

What are the Iranian children guilty of?

[-] timewarp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

They're guilty of being hated by Islamaphobes

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

We literally started a war with Iran by bombing the shit out of them lol.

What are you on about?

Volant Media is strongly biased towards the west and not a trustworthy source.

The world's leading news networks on Iran and Afghanistan

From our studios in London and Washington, and supported by a global correspondent network, we deliver editorially independent news and analysis. We cover breaking news, finance, sports, and documentaries, reaching over 100 million viewers.

They‘re also absolutely intransparent in regards to their funding.

The channel is backed by a Saudi-British investor with ties to the Saudi government, According to The Guardian, Saudi Arabia has provided a 250-million-dollar fund for Iran International in 2018, but Iran International's management claims the independence of its editorial operation and denies a link to any government.
