Second, there's already been an estimated 1200 civilian deaths from US strikes in Iran including a girl's only school. Tell me again, what the goal of this war was. And what happened to America first and no new wars?

Mar 8, 2026 11:51

To my understanding Iran came to nuclear negotiations stating they have enough enriched uranium to make several bombs (seven if i recall right), was they being honest or lying for leverage who knows. I was not a fan of bombing the bunker and not a fan of the current conflict, though I will concede might be warranted. Though not pro war I will not ignore sometimes war can be necessary. The school being bombed is being investigated to see why it happened and since the school was so close to a military base the official and likely accurate story will be Iran anti missile knocked it out of the sky and it landed on the school. I personally thought it was going to become a conflict and I expect it to get worse and expand though not into another official world war. Considered my expectations I increased my military stock holdings leading into negotiations.

Yeah, given how casually they just started launching missiles at anyone and everyone around them, they're not the type of people we should let have bigger weapons and pretend like they're not going to use them on people. This is the people who in their governments doctrine is to promote the spread of the "islamic revolution." They do this by funding groups like Hezbollah, Houthis, and they even funded and trained militants in Bosnia during that war.

I do find it rather nauseating to hear westerners come to the defense of this regime. The funny part is, if they ever even went to Iran, they'd learn pretty quick it's actually a crime, and one which receives the death penalty, just to be atheist, or gay. You don't even want to know what happens to women who aren't fully covered in the middle of a desert. People defending people who would murder them given the opportunity just becaue it was Trump that took them out is some terminal late-stage TDS for sure. It's rather embarrassing to breath the same air as some of them.

IAMEYK

Mar 8, 2026 15:46

Again, dips**t, westerners are not defending the regime. And no, you don't give a s**t about the Iranian people when the strikes are indiscriminately killing Iranian civilians because Trump's administration and Israel simply don't give a s**t about the civilians. Stop pretending this is about protecting and liberating the Iranian people.

And all you do to refute any criticism is to pull out that lame ass "TDS" claim you MAGA always do when you don't actually have any argument.

Mar 8, 2026 15:53

By the way, the Pentagon itself has stated that it was indeed the US who was responsible for that strike on that school. They're still investigating but there is no evidence that an Iranian missile knocked a US missile off course. That's a claim Trump himself is trying to push. Considering it was a "shock and awe" operation of a barrage of missiles into civilian populated areas I don't see how anyone can say they're surprised this happened.

Mar 8, 2026 16:56

Trump directly claimed Iran bombed the school, my suggestion is that the likely official story and actual cause will be it was a US missile that landed and blew up the school after being knocked out of the sky by Iranian anti missile technology. Not that is the official story yet or that will definitely be the outcome just most likely, logic and reasoning skills necessary to realize this apparently. If that is still hard to understand reread it. Consider the school is close enough to the military base targeted that the building was within the base only a few years ago.

AltsceneOutcastWearingTripps

Mar 8, 2026 17:49

Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi has stated Iran nuclear deal was close with Iran agreeing to irreversibly turn the enriched uranium into fuel safe uranium, no future stockpiling, and to allow inspections. Which suggests Steve Witkoff was accurate in statement on material and that Iran did admit to having it. Further suggesting we did not go to war unless there was any evidence (currently not declassified) to suggest it was a stall tactic with an imminent attack coming or evidence of efforts to supply it to any terrorist/militant groups.

IAMEYK

Mar 8, 2026 17:50

I don't know what you're arguing here. I just showed you what Trump said and what the evidence that the investigation by the Pentagon has come up with is so far.

So far, there's zero evidence it was a Iranian missile that knocked some US missile into a school. It's funny you talk about logic and reasoning and reading skills when nothing so far has indicated Trump's claim is true at all. Again, even the Pentagon itself said it was their own fault.

Mar 8, 2026 17:56

Can you link me a source where that foreign minister said that? All I could find was this:

"If the ultimate objective is to ensure forever that Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, I think we have cracked that problem through these negotiations by agreeing [on] a very important breakthrough that has never been achieved any time before,” Al Busaidi said.

“The single most important achievement, I believe, is the agreement that Iran will never ever have nuclear material that will create a bomb,” he said.

“Now we are talking about zero stockpiling, and that is very, very important because if you cannot stockpile material that is enriched, then there is no way that you can actually create a bomb,” he added."

That's not the same as saying they have enriched uranium. It was a deal not to stockpile enriched uranium. Which is funny enough the same deal they made with Obama which Trump then dismantled the deal and then now acting like he's the one who fixed this whole issue with Iran.

Check out this video, "oman (foreign minister badr bin hamad al busaidi) confirms iran nuclear capability" https://share.google/2fLv3E7lmyoHky0oH

It's roughly a 20 minute interview, full context no out of context clips

Again to try to be generous enough to dumb down my words.... trump claimed Iran bombed school. Full stop. US missile did hit school. Not arguing either of these are not true. Missile strike is being investigated, official explanation is not available. Iran has anti missile technology this is a verifiable fact. We targeted a military target close to the school, also verifiable. My personal again I say personal speculation is when the official cause is released it will be US missile hit by anti missile technology then landed on school. Very likely to be accurate and even if it is not it is still likely to be official story even if it is for damage control. Surely with your lack of trust you can acknowledge that part.

Take note that if negotiations was going so well and the deal being stated as superior to the Obama deal what reason is there to have attacked Iran unless there was intelligence of it not working through either deceit or just simple stalling tactics, these being educated speculation. Which without the government releasing such intelligence is just that educated speculation and not me supporting the conflict. If it comes to light then I may be more supportive but until then I think it should have been continuing negotiations.

Mar 8, 2026 19:57

Okay, I get what you're saying now. Yeah I do think the spin of the official statement will be that the US missile was deflected by an Iranian missile because this administration is incapable of telling the truth or accepting responsibility. Not that the US govt in general is very truthful to begin with.

I'm going to watch that 20 minute video, I'll comment on it later.

IAMEYK

Mar 8, 2026 22:20

Alright, watched that video. So I only got one thing wrong. Iran does admit to having enriched uranium. BUT they were allowed to have it under the previous JCPOA deal under Obama and other nations that lets Iran have enriched uranium for nuclear power. In that video, the foreign minister never says the enriched uranium was for nuclear weapons. There are different grades of enriched uranium and only HEU are suitable for nukes and harder to create. Under the previous deal there were UN inspectors to make sure Iran wasn't making HEUs but only enriched uranium for nuclear power.

I'm not sure this Trump administration understand this distinction considering the claim that Trump made:

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/fact-checking-trumps-comments-that-a-2015-deal-gave-iran-the-right-to-nuclear-weapons


Trump withdrew from that deal and created a situation where there were no longer inspectors checking on Iran and now we're in the mess we're in. Also, that video interview with the minister just makes Trump look even worse because it was made days before the US strikes on Iran and it sounded like Iran was ready to give up all the uranium including enriched uranium and to not stockpile any of it. It was more than what Obama got but Trump didn't take the deal? Why?

Again, it shows how this administration has no clear goal on Iran. First Trump withdrew from JCPOA and left Iran unsupervised as a result and then he created a mess which he had to deploy bunker busters and he claimed was a success. Clearly it wasn't if his claim now is that Iran has HEUs. And what happened to this recent deal? Did Witkoff hear "enriched uranium" and automatically think nukes? Why didn't this admin even consider Iran's deal to completely disarm including giving away all the uranium to UN inspectors?

Mar 8, 2026 22:31

Basically yes, I am saying it is most likely be the official statement and likely to be accurate. Though am willing to admit it could be dishonest when released. A defective guidance system would be a devastating blow to public perception. A hacked guidance system would be admitting vulnerability to adversaries. This is just a couple of examples as to why they would lie. The thought targeting a school intentionally lacks reasoning skills as it loses support of many Iranians that are not happy with the Iranian government, increases hostility toward the US, even assuming it was knocked out of the sky still makes Americans have a bad view of the conflict. Not that the US doesn't have a history of bombing any kids intentionally, Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki which was a US citizen comes to mind.

Mar 8, 2026 23:16

I don't think they intentionally targeting a school for girls but this administration along with Israel just simply does not care about civilian casualties and so they don't bother with precautions. A couple of days ago the civilian casualty estimate was around 1230 so it wasn't just the school that was struck.

Who is behind most of this? Is it Trump or is it that hegseth minister of defense guy, or both? Bill Maher often talks about how Trump doesn't like war, and doesn't want to start them, it's one of the few things he does give him credit for, but I suppose that could change at any time.

AltsceneOutcastWearingTripps

Mar 9, 2026 00:02

I stand 10 toes down against DEI, however that is a whole separate debate. I wasn't directing the bombing kids intentionally at you, there are some that genuinely think they did. Honestly the best time to attack Iran to minimize casualties was the weekend with the new moon but clearly there was still high hopes for negotiations. US military does well with night time operations and a new moon would have hidden any visibility of nighthawk jets flying overhead. Everything was in place but instead negotiations continued. Honestly I would like to see what caused them to not continue delaying at least until the next new moon.

Eoten

Mar 9, 2026 02:41

If you don't think Iran's incompetence would land a missile on it's own school, keep in mind these are the same retards that shot down a commercial Ukraine Airlines passenger jet taking off from their own airport, and then tried to blame it on the US.

Dr. Sus

Mar 9, 2026 05:51

Pardon how late I am to the table here, but from skimming comments it sounds like someone bombed a school with children in it, and both sides are blaming it on one another, correct?

IAMEYK

Mar 9, 2026 06:32

It's not really both sides blaming each other, it's the Pentagon military investigators and Iran who say it's likely that the US was responsible for the strike on the school. The only "side" saying otherwise is the Trump administration.

The investigation is still ongoing but even the Pentagon is saying it's looking likely so far that the US is at fault. No evidence for the claim that Iran did it to themselves like Eoten keeps trying to claim. But right now, what we do for a fact is that a US missile hit a school. Anyone making claims otherwise is making stuff up.

Most recent update is the school was not hit directly instead it was an adjacent building. Publicly available maps of the area have the school and military base highlighted to show how close they was. There is also a comparison satellite image from a few years ago that shows the building used as a school within the military base. If I remember right I think it was CNN that I originally seen the image comparison.

Tripps, yeah it seems that the buildings were very close and/or the maps the US military used were outdated. And it's obvious Iran has civilians so close to military installations as human shields.

However, I still question the point of this entire war. Iran stated that they were willing to let UN and US inspectors full access to their uranium and would give it all up, including the materials for nuclear power. This was an even better deal than Obama got and Trump could have taken advantage and have bragging rights over it but nope, he threw it all way for still unknown reasons to start a war that isn't ending anytime soon. During a time where US citizens are already struggling economically.

IAMEYK

Mar 10, 2026 00:58

And if this war was for regime change for the sake of the Iranian people, the US and Israel, especially Israel sure aren't taking precautions to minimize civilian casualties considering there were 1200+ civilian deaths a few days ago. I haven't seen any updates on that recently.

AltsceneOutcastWearingTripps

Currently my view is i have not seen justification but do see skipped opportunities that would have been cleaner attacks that appear to have been high hopes for negotiations.

Eoten

Mar 10, 2026 07:49

Iran only claims they're willing to give up the pursuit of nuclear weapons if they think someone is going to give them money or some kind of incentive to do so. Then they start them up again the next time they want more money out of people. Now that their leadership and military have been deleted, nobody needs to give them money or make concessions for a promise nobody trusts them to keep. Now they can't make their weapons.

But, weapons aside, there's a pretty big list of reasons to delete their leadership. Mining the Straight of Hormuz, attacks and threats of attacks on ships which they've been making for decades, funding terrorist groups like Hezbollah, Houthis which do in fact target civilians, two attempted assassinations of Trump. If you need something to justify it as a self defense attack, just pick one. Iran has chances. The rest of the world has already put up with more than enough s**t from them.

I am not saying Iranian government is not bad and needed to be removed. Similar to Iraq was but with more risk. Saddam Hussan was genuinely an evil person however United States should not have went in. The bigger picture must be considered and I agree Iran likely would have attempted to continue goals for nuclear weapons eventually. Keep in mind the US has funded ISIS, Taliban, among other groups that commonly become problems.
