> Iran has already kidnapped a US civilian (a reporter, Shelly Kittleson) and are holding her hostage.

Expect there to be a lot of operatives of the US in Iran. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but it wouldn't be the first time a CIA or something operative is caught and this is the cover.

In war the first victim is always the truth

France vetoed proposal about opening the straight by force. France and Europe in general dont want to dragged into this war.

Also, I dont see UN punishing Israel or American war crimes either ... so it makes sense to not apply "whatever goes" standard to aggressors and different one to the defender.

Iranians have dignity. Something American top brass doesn’t even know the meaning of.

You mean the army shooting 40.000 protestors just 2 months ago including 1000+ children, then executed a child that won an international wrestling competition, now accusing everyone else of warcrimes?

I think I'll need some reeducation on this concept of "dignity" you speak. Could you explain further?

So how is bombing schools, dessalination plants and hospitals helping Iranians exactly? If that's what the US is really looking for?

None of those numbers are verifiable. The opposition has every incentive to lie. And let's not forget there was a lot of armed agitators amongst those protesters. Mike Huckabee let the cat out of the bag with a tweet boasting of how a mossad agent walks beside every protester.

False. Khamenei himself acknowledged "thousands of people" had been killed during the protests: https://www.thetimes.com/world/middle-east/article/iran-youn...

Right. Go watch CNN. “Back to the Stone Age” will surely save so many of the lives spared.

Come on US media tell us the truth, you want to save people by killing them or to just kill them?
