I think the latter, the US is explicitly attempting a regime change operation so Iran has no reason for restraint.

The US is aware of this, that's why they evacuated all their bases etc within range

US is to out of touch with reality, they want to put a Zionist who is generally hated by Iranians in power. Will never happen.

So that’s why said Iranians chant Javid Shah?

Iranian here, the Shah has surprisingly many supporters, both inside and abroad.

Iran is a big complex country and is more diverse than people think.

When someone from the ME comments on a story about the ME, it is customary on HN for the community to downvote them into oblivion.

Exactly, I have a hard time seeing how that will ever play out how they want.

The whole reason the 1979 revolution happened in the first place was because the Shah was a blatant US/Israeli puppet

You've missed the part where islamist butchered the leaders of the actual 1979 revolution. In reality it was:

unpopular shah -> 1979 revolution -> islamists take control, prison and kill the leftists of 1979 revolution.

Within an hour Israel blew up an elementary school, killing 80 civilians.

A school located at 27.109828°N, 57.084744°E was hit and partially collapsed. That is the extent of the hard evidence.

Oh my God, is this 2001 again?

> All we know is that they did launch a missile that blew up a school. That's it. Just a little woopsies!

Ignore what schools are for and who are in them and what communities exist around them. Ignore that a school is clearly not a fucking military target. Ignore the workers digging through rubble and the reported deaths.

No, despite the past 25 years, the US and Israel's governments are not only trustworthy, but the only source of truth. There are no deaths in Ba Sing Se. There were nuclear missiles hidden in that school!

And, of course, I'm sure we'll hear next that any deaths were terrorists. And if any photos of lifeless kids come up, clearly they're some kind of pinatas or AI! And if their names and life stories come out and there are funerals - duh, state actors!

My country has completely lost its fucking mind. Which I guess makes sense enough after spending my entire adult life watching people basically shrug over little kids being gunned down at school.

Which, dang, that reminds me how Sandy Hook was also a conspiracy and I've had to suffer listening to the same exact "state actor" thing with that.

Fact check before writing walls of text. Information war is a real thing. Everything you wrote has no import on whether this particular piece of information is true.

The phrasing implies a connection.

I was in a major car accident, I cannot walk.

Oh the car accident was years ago, I was fine. I cannot walk because I'm seatbelted into a car driving down the road at the moment. Why would you have ever thought there was a connection?

Two examples of vulnerable infrastructure.

But afaik both are related to the same conflict.

The current hypothesis is that a left wing group triggered the outage in “protest” against Germanys involvement in the war.
